- calabacitas
- garlic
- onion
- tomatoes
- corn
- poblano
Cut up the calabacitas; chop the garlic, onion and tomatoes; cut the kernels off the corn; roast and peel the poblano.
- olive oil
Heat a big skillet over medium-high and film the bottom with olive oil.
Remove them, tipping as much fat as possible back into the pan.
Add the onion and stir 4 or 5 minutes until softened and starting to brown.
Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds, until softened and fragrant; do not let it burn.
When the garlic goes in
Add the chopped roasted poblano, the corn and the tomato puree.
Return the calabacitas and cook until the base is thick enough to coat them; turn off the heat.
Squash back in, and the herb chiffonade
- epazote
- cilantro
- blue corn tortillas
Cut a little herb into a chiffonade and add it as a garnish.
Sprinkle salt over, toss, taste, and add a little more salt.
