SOPA SECA: MEXICAN NOODLE CASSEROLE
Made by lightly frying vermicelli noodles and then cooking them in a rich broth flavored with spices, chipotle and tomatoes, sopa seca is considered comfort food in Mexico. We added smoked turkey to the mix, topped the noodles with grated Cheddar, and finished cooking in the oven for a cheesy, bubbly finish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with oil. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fideos and cook, turning them with tongs, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bundles and any broken pieces to a plate. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, coriander, oregano, chili powder, and bay leaf, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Crush the tomatoes over the pot with your hand and add them to the pot along with their juices. Add the chipotles, increase the heat to high, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, the toasted fideos, salt, and pepper, to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, uncovered, breaking up the fideos with a spoon, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the turkey. Remove the bay leaf. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, and cover loosely with foil. Bake until the cheese melts and the casserole is hot through and through, about 20 minutes. If desired, serve with some crema drizzled over the top.

SOPA SECA
Pasta. That's not Mexican, right? Think again. You see it in homes throughout Mexico, one of the many foreign foods that we have welcomed into our cuisine and something I ate growing up. We call this Mexican comfort food, funnily enough, sopa seca, which means "dry soup."

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or medium pot over medium-high heat until it ripples. Add the pasta and cook, stirring constantly, until the pasta is golden, about 3 minutes.
- Scoop out and discard 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the Roasted Tomato-Chile Arbol Salsa and cook for 2 minutes, stirring the whole time. Pour in the chicken stock and let the liquid come to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook, stirring once in a while, until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Divide the pasta between two bowls and garnish with the cilantro and cheese.
SHRIMP SOPA SECA
This recipe calls for roasting and charring the tomatoes in a broiler - just before blending and pulsing it to a tomato sauce - yielding an incredibly fresh, flavorful and clean taste of summer's last tomatoes. The sauce is then cooked with ancho chili, chili powder and ground coriander, giving the sauce a spice, which pairs beautifully with nicely golden fideos and gently poached shrimp. Enjoy this dish with a drizzle of crema or a dollop of sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese and a slice of avocado for a nice garnish.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Toss the tomatoes, white onion, garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet; spread out evenly. Broil until the onion and garlic are slightly charred and softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic to a blender and flip over the tomatoes on the baking sheet. Continue broiling the tomatoes until the skins shrink and char, 5 to 7 more minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to the blender, along with any juices left on the baking sheet; process until chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the fideos. Cook, stirring, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; remove to a plate. Reserve the pot.
- Pour the blended tomato sauce into the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat until slightly reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the ancho chile powder, coriander, chili powder and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil.
- Return the fideos to the pot. Adjust the heat so the liquid simmers; cook, stirring, until the fideos are almost al dente, 13 to 15 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover and cook until the fideos and shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Top with crema and cilantro.

Steps:
- Note: Chayote is a type of squash; leaving the peel on adds color to this dish, but some find the skin to be "slimy" when cooked so it can be peeled if desired. If chayote is unavailable, use zucchini or crookneck squash.
- Put noodles in a sealable plastic bag and break into small pieces by rolling with a pin or crushing with your hands. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add onion, garlic, and chiles. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add noodles and stir until lightly toasted and well coated with oil. Add chayote, tomatoes, oregano, and broth; cover and let simmer until almost dry (about 15 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
MEXICAN-STYLE RICE (SOPA SECA)
"Sopa seca" literally translates to "dry soup". A friend of ours from Mexico served this delicious rice sidedish to us and I enthusiastically went about finding a recipe for it. This is from the cookbook Mexican: Healthy Ways With a Favourite Cuisine by Jane Milton. A more glutinous rice dish than the ever popular Spanish rice. Is this an authentic Mexican recipe? I don't know, but I do know we like this dish!

Steps:
- In a large heatproof bowl, pour boiling water over the rice enough to cover. Stir only once, and let stand 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a colander over the sink and rinse rice under cold water. Drain again. Set rice aside, spread out on a cookie sheet to dry slightly. (I usually do this first thing in the morning.).
- In the meantime, put the tomatoes, onion, garlic and half of chili pepper into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth like salsa. Set tomato mixture aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy saute pan and cook rice until a light golden brown color. Stir constantly so that rice does not burn, scraping bottom of pan with spatula because the rice grains will stick.
- Next add the pureed tomato mixture and keep stirring over medium heat until all the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. If mixture starts to boil, reduce heat. *Stir in the stock, salt, and green peas. Continue to cook the mixture on low-medium heat stirring occasionally until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, another 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
- *NOTE: DO NOT stir rice too often after adding the stock or the grains will become too starchy.
- The original directions say to remove pan from heat, cover with tight-fitting lid; letting stand in a warm place 10 minutes or so. I remove pan from heat, cover and place pan in low oven, at approximately 150-200 degrees. Sometimes I'll let the rice set in the oven for a good hour or longer, as long as the rice grains are tender and rice doesn't dry out too much.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a serving platter, fluff with fork and serve sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with thinly sliced chilis or serve on side.

Steps:
- Whisk masa harina and salt together; stir enough water into mixture until dough is smooth and holds together. Form dough into 2-inch balls. Flatten each ball to a 1/2-inch thick circle.
- Heat oil to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or large saucepan.
- Fry dough in the hot oil until sopes are just lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side. Remove sopes with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate; cool just until sopes can be handled. Pinch the edges of each sope together forming little 'boats'. Return to hot oil and fry until golden and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
