Green Pepper And Tomato Curry Food

GREEN TOMATO VERDE WITH BRAISED CHICKEN AND GREEN TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, puree 1 large tomato, roasted peppers, cilantro, and 1 cup of water. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and black pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed stockpot. Add half the chicken and sauté on both sides, flipping once, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set aside.
• Add the onion to the pot and sauté until just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin and oregano, stir for 30 seconds, then add the puréed tomato-pepper mixture, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining chopped tomatoes, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot (push the chicken down into the sauce so it is well covered).
• Cover the pot and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Add the greens and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
• To serve, place one chicken thigh in each serving dish with rice, if desired. Spoon the chile verde sauce over the chicken and serve with the green tomato salsa, sour cream, and reserved cilantro leaves.

GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley in a bowl with your fingertips. Squeeze the juice of the lemon with the lemon half sitting upright. This will help prevent the seeds from falling into the bowl. The lemon juice will spill down over the sides of the lemon and the seeds will remain with the fruit. Squeeze the juice evenly over the salad. If the lemon is under-ripe, microwave it for 10 seconds before you cut into it. Next, sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the salad -- just eyeball it. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, add the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss again. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve.
