The growing season's pretty much done here except for a few cool weather crops. Time to see what we can make with the fruits of our harvest.
Today is a cold, rainy day and we have company coming for supper. I'm baking whole wheat bread with buttermilk and honey, and making Queso Fundido and a Moroccan vegetable soup called Harira that we like a lot.
The uncut chiles are to identify what's in the cut pile. I toasted the garlic in a dry frying pan before including in the recipe.
saute the onions in butter, toss in the garlic and some flour and make a roux. Add milk and whisk while heating until thickened. Stir in a cup of chopped tomatoes and the minced peppers and drop the heat to low while adding the shredded cheese a little at a time and allowing it to melt before adding more.
When the cheese is all melted, stir in cilantro, salt and pepper to taste...
and kick it up to where you want it with chile powder. Lastly, stir in a little sour cream. Done!

Actually, we do too as long as the weather cooperates... I'm gonna fire up the grill today to smoke another batch of red-ripe Jalapenos. I got 'em from a farmstand nearby. They said they got the seed from a company in PA called Seedway, and it's a variety called Tormenta. Boy, it sure is hot! That's the variety I used to make my smoked Jalapeno BBQ sauce. This batch I'm going to dry and grind for Chipotle powder. The other thing on the agenda today is to make Cubed Radish Kimchi (Kakduki) with the radishes I pulled from my garden this morning.
