Best Frijoles De Olla Con Arroz Poblana Recipes

CHILES RELLENOS DE ELOTE CON ARROZ BLANCO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium saucepan, over a medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the onion until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the corn kernels and salt, then cover the pan and reduce the heat. Cook until the kernels are tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the epazote. Set aside to cool.
• Slit the chiles down the sides and carefully remove the seeds, leaving the top and stalk intact.
• Stuff the chiles with the corn mixture. Put a slice of the cheese in the center of the filling.
• In a shallow ovenproof dish, place the chiles over the Arroz Blanco, gently pushing them into the rice. Pour the crema over them and bake until heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the grated Manchego cheese and continue to bake just until the cheese is melted.
• Whisk the cream and the buttermilk together in a bowl. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot light is fine) for 8 hours. Crema may be kept in the refrigerator for as long as a week.
• Rinse the rice in cold water until water runs clear. Let the rice drain for a few minutes.
• In a medium size saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over a medium low heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, stirring constantly. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook just until the grains are coated with the oil. Add the water and cook, uncovered, over a medium heat until the liquid has been absorbed and small air holes appear on the top of the rice. Do not stir. Wrap the lid of the saucepan with a small terry cloth dish towel. Place the lid tightly over the saucepan so that none of the steam can escape. Set aside in a warm place for about 20 to 30 minutes, so that the rice can continue to cook and the grains expand.
• Stir the rice well before serving.

Steps:

• Drain and rinse the beans and combine with 3 quarts water or enough to cover the beans by 2 inches and add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, simmer. After 1 hour add the chilies, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking 2 to 3 more hours until beans are soft, but not falling apart. Serve the beans in their liquid.

FRIJOLES DE LA OLLA

Steps:

• Add the beans, chiles, avocado leaf, bay leaves, garlic, dried mushrooms, salt and 8 cups water to an electric pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot), and set to cook for 40 minutes at high pressure.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, lightly char the jalapeños over the open high flame of a gas burner, or sear them on a comal or in a dry, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until blackened and beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes over a flame or about 10 minutes in a skillet. Use heatproof tongs to turn occasionally. Once cooked, set aside.
• Once the pressure cooker has completed cooking, carefully release the pressure to open the lid. Taste test at least 5 beans to make sure they are all tender and fully cooked. If any are not, set the machine to its "sauté" function and bring the liquid to a boil. Simmer until the beans are smooth and soft.
• Discard the avocado and bay leaves. If you'd like a more full-bodied broth, transfer the chiles, garlic and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid to a blender or food processor, blend until completely smooth, and return to the pot of beans. Taste for salt and adjust as needed.
• Warm the tortillas over the open flame of a gas burner or on a comal or in a dry, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until soft. Divide the beans and rehydrated mushrooms among bowls, then top with cilantro, avocado and charred jalapeños. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the avocado slices and serve with the warmed tortillas.
