Last night we had Lemon and Cheese Chicken Pasta

 

[Dawgluver]

“Potted” Beef - London broil nicely seasoned, seared and simmered until tender and served with mashed potatoes, steamed spinach and pan gravy.



I am achy and just ate a bit of the meat. Not really hungry.

Lovely, MM! Hope you feel better soon!

Leftover unbreaded tenderloin, baked beans, watermelon here.

I'm curious where you heard this - I haven't and just did a search and only found irate dieters complaining both Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem have discontinued the Penne dishes.

oh dear,i wish you hadn't told me about it ace!! fantastic site,cheers mate!!

 

[acerbicacid]

You are very welcome - the only problem is it is always open for on line shopping and as everyone knows, one thing leads to another - somewhere else to squander your hard earned dosh. I think their recipes are quite good too, but then I've never been to Mexico. Just think, if you spend over £50.00 p&P is free - bargain.

Now that's interesting. The MECO chipotles they sell are more like what I'm used to seeing. Looks like Harry's chipotles may have been MORITA.

Do a search on "chipotle" on the Mex Grocer site and you'll see what I mean.

I don't see the Mecos here, just the moritas.

 

[acerbicacid]

The meco chipotles are to the right of the list under ancho chillis and above De Arbol. Well they are on my web page, wonder if it is different when seen in the U.S.A.?

It is just so brilliant that we can buy these chillis so far from Mexico. Haven't sussed out how to do smilies yet, but that is a definite thumbs up one.

so do chipotles have to be jalapenos or does chipotle refer to the smoking/drying process? but,as i said earlier to steve,whatever they were they were delicious,no heat but the fresh chillies i put in the dish whacked the heat up a treat.by the way can anyone identify the fresh green chillies from the pics? they were just in a pack of "mixed medium heat chillies"

All chipotles start as jalapenos. I buy chipotles from a Mexican market because I don't like the canned ones they sell in the grocery store. The ones I get are Mecos, though I didn't know they were called that until I started doing a little reading online.

EDIT: Here is a nice little article that explains all things chipotle:

From the article linked above, those look like Moritas. Sounds like they are the same thing, just not smoked as long as the Mecos.

Thank you for posting that interesting article on chillies.

Can you easily get Pimientos de Padron in the States? I had some of those tonight, not a lot of hot ones though.
