Carrots And Potatoes In Ancho Chile Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss potatoes and carrots in a large bowl with olive oil. Add honey, lemon zest, salt, oregano, and pepper; toss to coat. Spread onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring first 5 ingredients to boil in large pot. Reduce heat; simmer gently until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool chicken in broth 30 minutes, then transfer chicken to bowl and cool completely (reserve broth for another use).
• Cook carrots in pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer carrots to another bowl. Add potatoes to same pot and boil until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain. Cool potatoes, then peel and cut into 3/4-inch cubes; add to bowl with carrots.
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Bring Ancho-Guajillo Chile Sauce to simmer in large saucepan. Reduce heat to low and keep warm. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Place 1/2 cup warm chile sauce in medium bowl. Dip chicken pieces into sauce to coat, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Add chicken pieces to skillet and fry until heated through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
• Pour 1/4 cup oil into same skillet; heat over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and carrots; sauté until heated through, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer potatoes and carrots to 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Season with salt. Keep warm in oven. Heat 1/2 cup oil in same skillet over medium heat. Quickly dip 1 tortilla into warm chile sauce to coat, then carefully slide tortilla into hot oil (mixture will splatter). Cook 10 seconds per side. Using tongs, transfer tortilla to baking sheet; fold tortilla in half. Keep warm in oven. Repeat.
• Place 2 tortillas on each plate. Top with some of warm chile sauce, then potatoes and carrots. Sprinkle with cheese, sliced onion, radishes, and jalapeños; top with crema. Arrange 2 lettuce leaves alongside. Place chicken atop lettuce and serve.
• *Cultured Mexican cream with a slightly nutty flavor and consistency of thin sour cream.

Steps:

• Rinse chiles, then cover with cold water in a bowl and soak, weighted with a sieve (to keep submerged), until completely rehydrated (most will turn a brighter red), about 8 hours. Do not drain chiles.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Remove 1 chile from soaking liquid and, working over chile bowl and sieve, cut a slit down one side with scissors and let interior liquid and loose seeds drain into sieve. Carefully cut out seedpod, leaving stem intact and letting any easily loosened seeds fall into sieve, then discard seedpod. Repeat with remaining chiles, arranging seeded chiles, cut sides up, in 1 layer in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch (3-quart) baking dish.
• Reserve 1 cup chile-soaking liquid for sauce. Turn chile seeds out of sieve into a shallow baking pan and spread evenly, then toast in oven, stirring occasionally, until dry, fragrant, and a few shades darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool seeds in pan on a rack, then finely grind in grinder (you will have about 1 tablespoon).
• Purée tomatoes, including juice from can, in a blender with reserved soaking water, ground chile seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth, then transfer to a 3-quart heavy saucepan and boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened slightly and reduced to about 2 cups, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about 2 1/2 cups). Cook in a 3-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender but not falling apart, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
• Stir together potatoes, chorizo, cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then fill chiles generously with stuffing (about 1/2 cup each; slit will not close over it). Pour sauce around (not over) chiles, then cover dish with foil and bake until sauce is bubbling all over, 35 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chile sauce. Reserve in the pan off heat. In a large pan of boiling salted water, cook the carrots and potatoes until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish. Stir in 1 cup of the chile sauce. Reserve. 2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to the casserole dish. Add the salt. Stir to mix the ingredients. If the mixture seems dry, stir in an additional 1/4 cup of the chile sauce. Bake until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 30 minutes. Serve hot. Note: Extra chile sauce may be refrigerated or frozen for later use.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
