Sedona Peppers And Portobellos Recipes

Steps:

• For the spice blend: Stir together the paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a bowl.
• For the fajitas: Set a large skillet over high heat. Once the pan starts smoking, add the portobellos, bell peppers, onions, salt and 2 teaspoons of the spice blend. Dry-saute the veggies until you see charring and blistering, about 30 seconds. Add the oil and garlic and continue to cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Lay out the tortillas and top each with the portobello veggie mix. Sprinkle each with a pinch of the spice blend. Top with sour cream, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.
• Pour the barley and liquid into the pot and stir to make an even layer.
• Add a layer of the red and green bell peppers. Scatter half the cheese slices across the peppers. Sprinkle with the garlic and half of the green chiles.
• Cut the mushroom slices into thirds and add to the pot. Top with the rest of the cheese, the roasted red peppers, and the rest of the green chiles.
• Cover and bake for 50 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the oil, pepper flakes, oregano, and garlic. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until aromatic.
• Add the mushrooms and roasted peppers and cook, stirring, until heated through. Serve immediately with meat, chicken or fish.
• Variation: If making as a vegetarian main dish, add 1/2 bag chopped spinach and 2 scallions, sliced thinly. Serve with couscous or noodles.

Steps:

• Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
• Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.
