Good Stuff: Poblanos with Rice, “Refried” Beans & Cashew Cream

 Vegan Stuffed Poblanos by An Unrefined VeganThis is another recipe that I adapted from Cooking Light’s Fresh Food Fast, opting to make my own “refried” beans rather than using canned.  It’s really not a whole lot more time or effort to make one’s own and the taste is so much better and fresher – and you can control the seasonings.  Instead of a mess o’ cheese on top, I used luscious cashew cream.

I do not include the recipe for cashew cream here because 1) just about every vegan has his or own version, and 2) my version came straight from Vegan Yum Yum.

Ingredients
  1. 4 large poblano chiles, cut in half and seeded
  2. 1-2 Tbsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos, vegetable broth, beer or water
  3. 1 15 ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  4. 1 small onion, chopped
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 4 ounce can green chiles
  7. 1 tsp. cumin
  8. 1/4 tsp. chile powder
  9. 1/4 tsp. coriander powder
  10. 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
  11. 1/2 cup picante sauce
  12. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  13. 1/2 cup+ cashew cream* (or use your favorite vegan shredded cheese)
Instructions
  1. Pop the poblano chiles in the microwave for a few minutes, just to soften a little. Set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, saute the onion and garlic in the Liquid Aminos (or broth, beer or water) until onion is soft. Add the green chiles, cumin, chile powder and coriander powder and saute for a minute or two. Stir in the pinto beans, lower the heat and cover the pot. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and mash the beans to desired consistency. Stir in the brown rice, picante sauce and cilantro.
  3. Line a baking dish with foil and place the poblano chile halves in the dish. Divide the bean mixture between the chiles and top with cashew cream. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let the chiles rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro and serve with salsa fresca and limes.

    I love stuffed peppers, and these look amazing! And there’s something about rice and beans that is just so delicious.

    What a nice looking dish! I just love Mexican flavours and heat so this is right up my alley.

    Have a lovely weekend :)

    I think canned refried beans are nasty & the ones served in restaurants are not vegan, so once again, your recipe saves the day. Thanks for looking out for the rest of us! (Btw, that’s a good looking tomato.)

    I love making my own “refried” beans, too! You can’t be sure what they throw in the others. Also, can’t wait to try your cashew cream…
