Chiles Rellenos Stuffed with Cassoulet and Smoked Tofu on Rice Cakes
(filling is soyrizo, onion, garlic, cannelinni beans, tomato, tamari, pepper, smoked paprika and applewood smoked tofu)
Steamed Artichoke
We tried a different method for getting the skin off a pepper by deep-frying it first, and then peeling it. The cubanelle pepper was also a different choice than the usual poblano, but worked out just fine. The white bean cassoulet with the applewood smoked tofu added a nice combination of flavors and layers to the chile filling.
We weren't sure whether to eat the mutant artichoke or go bowling with it -- it had to steam a good long time, yet the final product was very tasty and not woody at all.
