Boneless, skinless chicken breasts this time. I marinated them in lime juice and made a crust from rehydrated chiles pasillas negras, pecans and Dijon mustard. All were ground in a mini chopper and patted on the chicken. Salt and pepper on the bird parts. The green stuff on the plate that's not green beans we got at a Mexican market in Sulphur Springs this afternoon. They called it "calabasita." I call it squash. I brought it to a sizzle in an iron skillet and added the rehydrating liquor from the pasillas a little at a time (it was reducing in another pot as I worked) to make a glaze of sorts. The little reddish chunks are diced red bell pepper. The whole skillet was finished in the oven and kept in the warming drawer. Under the chicken is a paste made from roasted garlic, rehydrated chile pasilla, olive oil and low fat "sour cream."
NB: It's usually best to toast dried chiles a little before rehydrating them, especially if you plan on using the liquid. Be carefull not to burn them, though, That'll make them unpleasantly bitter.

Never any rice or potato or.... starchy thing? It suddenly dawned on me that that is what your plates are missing, IMO. Doing that low carb thing? Goomba

I find that some meals really are better with a little rice or something to enjoy with the sauces and veg, a compliment to the flavors if you will. More well rounded? Goomba
Potatoes and rice *are* veggies... so is corn... so are bread grains last I looked.

I like pasta better than I do rice... pasta is veggie too... orzo pilaf is my favorite.

That's interesting. Here, they are considered the starch for a dinner. Although corn might be regarded as a veg. The recommendations for healthy eating from the government also treat those foods as carbs, rather than veg.
It must be a cultural thing,. The French see potatoes as a vegetable, too.

Yup. D's on phase one of south beach again after the holiday splurges. The blood oranges were only for me. Phase one SB forbids fruit.
I was born in Baton Rouge and I once ate rice at least three times a week. Usually more than that. I love rice. I truly love it. Sometimes I make a little for myself, but when I'm cooking for the both of us I stick to the SB rules. More or less.
