Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 This is one of the first recipes that I tried making when I was living on my own. It made so much that I didn't make it often, but now I truly appreciate this wonderful hearty vegetarian dish. Thank you, Mollie Katzen! Frijoles con Queso Etc. Casserole 2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup cream cheese (4 oz.) 1 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup grated Jack cheese (or mild white cheddar) 1 Tbs. olive oil 1 1/2 cups chopped onion 3 cloves garlic, minced Sea salt, to taste (about 1/2 tsp.) 1/2 tsp. ground cumin 1/2 tsp. dried basil 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, or more to taste Black pepper, to taste 1 medium zucchini, cut in chunks 2 medium tomatoes, chopped salt, pepper, oregano, and basil (dash or each to taste) Warm the beans in a saucepan until just heated through; remove from heat. Stir in the cream cheese so it melts, then stir in the yogurt and cheese. Saute the onions, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, basil and cayenne in the oil until onions are soft. Add this to the bean mixture, stirring to combine. Pour this mixture into a buttered 2 quart casserole dish. In the same skillet, saute the zucchini with the seasonings. You shouldn't need more oil, but add some water if it gets too dry. Cook about 3 minutes and then add the tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes. Spread this mixture on top of the bean layer. Corn bread Topping: 1 cup yellow corn meal 1/2 cup unbleached white flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 cup yogurt 1 large egg Combine the dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 375 & #730;. Beat the yogurt and egg together, then stir into the dry ingredients until just combined. Spread this mixture on top of the veggie layer of the casserole. Bake 40 minutes uncovered. Serve right away, nice and hot. Source: Mollie Katzen's Enchanted Broccoli Forest ~ PT ~ The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 You are very welcome, Sarah. Hope you will post back to the group after you try them to let us know how it worked out for you. Back in the '80s when I first tried the Frijoles casserole recipe, I never knew what frijoles meant... I wasn't veg for very long and was raised in a rural town of meat & potatoes people. Ethnic foods, terms and cooking styles were so new to me, so this dish was real branching out for my sheltered soul. I have been thankful for my adventurous cooking experiences and all the fine cooks that have given me tools and advice along the way. ~ PT ~ You are the star of each night, You are the brightness of every morning, You are the story of each guest, You are the report of every land. ~ Scots Gaelic blessing ```````````````````````````````````````` , " Sarah Navarro " <navarrosarah wrote: > > This sounds so yummy.
