Happy Birthday EATON SQUARE EDIBLES !!
Warm up from the inside out. Its Chile season!!
In New Mexico, the smell of roasted chile in the air is
a classic sign of the changing weather. Its the perfect seasonal treat.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium onion – thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic – chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups NM Green Chile – chopped or sliced (fresh roasted and peeled, frozen or canned is great too)
1 small handful of baby whole tomatoes
1 can pinto beans
2 cups shredded rotiserrie chicken-store bought is great !
1 tablespoon cornstarch-optional
Tortillas
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Cilantro -garnish
Sour cream-garnish
In medium saucepan, heat olive oil.
Saute onion and garlic until sweated and soft.
Add green chile and saute for a minute or two to blend the flavors.
Add broth, and pinto beans and shredded chicken. Lower the flame, and cook 45 minutes.
Wrap tortillas in foil and place in hot oven to warm.
If you would like your chile sauce thicker, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a few tablespoons of broth until smooth.
Stir into to pot and cook another 5-10 minutes.
Before serving put grated cheddar cheese in bottom of individual bowls and ladle chile over the top of the cheese. Garnish with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

This salad is as easy as it looks ! All you need are the fresh ingredients ! This is a family favorite. Special enough for holidays but simple enough to enjoy everyday.
Burrata is one of the most special cheeses that hasn’t really been too available until just recently. A cows milk cheese made with a thin outer layer of mozzerella cheese and filled with creamy inside. Available in specialty cheese sections of your grocery store and in Italian markets as well. I have seen it at Whole foods recently. Be mindful to check the expiration date to ensure its freshness.
One basket Organic Cherry Tomatoes-sliced in half or
Heirloom Tomatoes – thickly sliced
Fresh Burrata
Sea Salt
Fresh cracked Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Arrange tomatoes and Burrata on a plate. You can tear the burrata with your
hands ,its quite hard to slice.
Drizzle with your favorite Olive oil.
Sprinkle with Sea Salt and fresh Cracked Pepper.
Great on a lovely slice of Crostini
Crostini
1 French Baguette-sliced diagonally
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
Heat oven to broil
Lay bread on a baking sheet
Generously brush each slice with olive oil front and back.
Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper
Turn pieces over and Repeat .
Watching carefully
Broil slices until light golden brown
Using your tongs ,turn each slice over and broil remaining side until toasted.
Remember this?

This soup is just as delicious served hot but for a nice summer treat… CHILL IT!
Add a sprinkle of your favorite cheese or a dollop of fresh whipped crème before serving.
1 head broccoli cut up or a bag of broccoli tops
splash of water
1small Onion-sliced
1 clove Garlic-chopped
11/2 cups chicken broth (vegetable good too !)
sprinkle of white pepper
Using a small soup pot add 1 inch of water just covering the bottom of pot.
Add Broccoli tops
Steam until fork tender. About 7 minutes.
Remove broccoli from pot and set aside. Discard water.
Heat pot
On medium heat add Olive Oil .
Add Onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add Garlic and sauté until onion is transparent.
Add Broccoli,white pepper and broth. Cook for 5 minutes.

At this point if you have an emersion blender you can use it now and blend soup until smooth. Place in refrigerator 2 hours.
If you do not have an emersion blender pour the soup into your blender and refrigerate until soup is cool. 2 hours. Then blend once soup is cool.
Serve blended chilled soup . Add a dollop of fresh whipped crème if you’d like the classic cream of broccoli soup.
I sprinkled mine with a mild blue cheese and some red peppers today instead.

Put all ingredients in blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the consistency that you like. You may also use an emersion blender. I like mine smooth but if you like it chunky pulse or blend it less.
Add bread and pulse until blended if desired. If too thick add a little cold water until desired consistency.
