We're getting mighty close to the end of MOFO. I'm not running out of inspiration, but I am running out of steam. Last night we did a soup night. Fred was roped in to making a salad dressing. I haven't used any pablanos this MoFo and it just so happens that last month's VegNews was featuring this mild chile. It originates from the city of Puebla, Mexico. Here in AZ they are sold by the name of pasilla. You may be familiar with them in their dried form - ancho. Rumor has it you can find a hot one here and there, but all of the ones I have had the pleasure of meeting have been very mild.
The dressing featured in VegNews was a bit sweet for my taste, but if you like a sweeter dressing, this one may be up your alley. It had both orange juice and orange zest as it's main ingredients. We served it with a simple salad of romaine, tomatoes, avocado, red onion and spicy croutons. I thought it might make a nice marinade for tofu.
Pretty photos! I am THIS close to running out of steam for the rest of MoFo, but we are THIS close to being done! Will weather, will weather.

ReplyDeleteOh how I wish avocados were ripe around here year round. The salad sounds and looks great!
