Here's a picnic menu

* Corned Bread with Sundried Tomato, Basil and Parmesan

* Cornbread Stuffed Red Peppers with Black Beans

* Mango Salsa (McCune)

* Chipotle Yogurt Orange Sauce

 

When I heard about the july 4th picnic I thought about ratatouille salad,

ravioli with veggies and shaved parmesan - then I remembered these. If you want

to " grill/bbq " the stuffed peppers were wonderful.

Cornbread Stuffed Red Peppers with Black Beans

 

Recipe By : McCune; Vegetables on the Grill

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Eat-Lf Grilling

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons olive oil

2/3 cup red onion -- 1/4 " dice

4 tablespoons pecan pieces -- coarsely chopped

2 small garlic clove -- minced

1 cup cooked black beans

1 tablespoon chives -- minced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

2 1/2 cups cornbread stuffing -- See Advanced Prep

1/2 cup beer -- to moisten

Salt and black pepper -- to taste

4 large red bell peppers

 

ADVANCE PREPARATION: Substitute your favorite cornbread recipe; e.g.:

Corned Bread with Sundried Tomato, Basil and Parmesan; or use a

packaged cornbread stuffing. To dry the crumbled cornbread, use a slow

oven (250 to 275 F): about 15 minutes.

 

PEPPERS. Red, yellow or orange; with stem attached, if possible. Cut

the tops off the peppers and remove and discard the seeds and core

from the inside of the peppers. Place peppers and tops in a microwave

container designed for steaming, (on a rack) and cook on high for

aboug 6 to 8 mins or until almost done. Set aside.

 

STUFFING Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium low heat.

Cook the onion without browning until soft, approximately 4 minutes.

Add the pecans and garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Turn

off heat. Drain and rinse the black beans; cut the herbs. Add to the

cornbread and toss. Stir in the beer (i.e., lager like Foster's) until

the cornbread is moistened lightly. Season with a little salt, lots

of pepper. Set aside.

 

Loosely fill the peppers with the cornbread mixture. Set tops on and

secure to the pepper with toothpicks. Cook the precooked peppers on a

covered grill in an appropriate rack over a low fire for 15 mins.

until stuffing is hot and peppers are smoky. Tip: temp should read

180F when inserted into middle of the stuffing.

 

Serve with the Chipotle Yogurt sauce, mango salsa and a mix green

salad: Mc Menu: 774 cals (26.2% ff) 22.9g fat.

Optional: Toss the salad with a fatfree Southwestern dressing

(commercial) and crisy tortilla strips (optional).

 

For Your Info: Chipotle chilies are smoked and dried jalapeno peppers

-- powerfully hot, but with a deep, rich smoky flavor. The chipotle

sauce, mellowed with yogurt and brown sugar, is less intense, but a

little goes a long way. Tested with Pat's Corned Bread with Sundried

Tomato, Basil and Parmesan. MC-Per Serving: 645 cals (27.2% ff) 19.4 g

fat.
