food The Spicy Meatless Thread... (ya I went there)

Thanks for doing them, and providing valuable feedback on how they turned out.
 
I am definitely going to give some a "go" in the very near future.
 
Meat-less-ball Sandwich!

I had to squish/break the balls down a bit to get it to fit in my toaster oven. Smoked provolone on the bottom, shredded mozz on top. 
The balls tasted much better today, so maybe that wait period is the key for the flavor meld.  The recipe said best overnight to let it sit and I only gave it 2.5 hrs... 
 
I have a slight addiction to chile rellenos over chilaquiles.  So good. You can come over and cook those for me anytime.
 
 
I made this last night nothing fancy... cream of asparagus soup with smoked red hab powder and some pao de queijo.  The pao needed more queijo and a few shakes of the powder IMO, I'll post the recipe once I'm happy with the results.

I've never been to  chi town, I heard it's nice...i think you'll be here long before I go visit chicago, though I might be in cleveland when you're here. When are you here again? I love these rellenos, totally addictive and that batter, wow. You gotta try it

OMG!

I LOVE chile rellenos and chilaquiles, which I eat like once a week.

Chile rellenos OVER chilaquiles just blew my mind!

Okay, but do you still do they eggs? Because I eat my chilaquiles with two sunny side up eggs on top!

most definitely still do the eggs! 
 
the place i order from doesn't have it on the menu, so I order 2 chile relleno tacos (the chile relleno dinner is a little under $10 and tacos are like $2.50) and a chilaquiles (salsa verde) order.  They give me the food and then watch me dissect the taco, I'm pretty sure they're thinking "silly gringa, we have a chile relleno plate with rice and beans for $4.25 more than those two tacos" And then they see me put it on the chilaquiles... and I hope they're thinking "Genius... we should add this to our menu"

No pics.
 
Never happened.

The chilaquiles I get at brunch. The green herb (at top) is epazote.

The chile relleno taco I get from the food cart. (Yes, it is that big. It's $6 and takes up a whole take-out container, and is on a burrito size corn tortilla. There's a bed of yellow rice under it.)

Now I need to take the taco from the food cart to the restaurant and combine them Rawk style. Do you think they'll mind? LOL.
 
I think you might need a to-go bag. make a 2nd doggie bag and send it to me ^_^ actually, this sounds genius. I'll have to tryi it myself. An a chili rellenos and rice in a taco? Sounds a odd yet delicious war of textures
 
That relleno taco is huge and I am proud to say I eat it like a taco. Some fools here would eat it like a meal. Forkers!!!!!
 
Rawk, post your relleno taco, curious to see a chi-style. And post your guerrilla style meal hack, lol.
 
I think I might get one tonight.
 
I wanted to go out and grab it last night, but I waited for the dude get home from work before dinnering, and by then I was not in the mood to put pants or a bra back on.  #firstworldproblems amirite?   
 
Anyway I picked up this frozen burek that was stuffed with feta and spinach last time I was at the grocery store and ate that with some "Hot" Ajvar.  Burek is like flakey bread, kind of like a spanakoita, it doesn't necessarily need to be filled with anything, but I'd say filled with cheese is most common.  They fill them with all sorts of stuff, meats, potatoes, fruit... (at a serbian deli I got one once they filled it with fried pork fat.... it was good).  Ajvar is a red pepper spread from Macedonia.  I get the "hot" one, but its not very hot at all.  Once of my first uses for powders from this site was to spice up my ajvar!

I dunno when I'll get to the taqueria, busy weekend and I'm out of town next week.  But next time I get them I will snap a picture... It doesn't look as pretty as yours though... the taqueria is your standard hole in the wall, under the train tracks place, what it lacks in appearance and plating it makes up for in flavor!
