5 italian stuffed green chiles Recipes

fresh dandelions (dandelions are the absolute 1st choice if you can find them.... and you really can always find them by simply picking them yourself from a fresh field.), fresh spinach (or: chinese cabbage, bok choy, kale, mustard greens, beet greens, swiss chard... any greens you may find in a local market)), yellow onions (strong onions work best, sweet onions lose their individual flavor too easily. i don tsp use red onions here but you might like their flavor), cannelloni beans. (any beans are fine but we like the italian style ingredients since it is so much our heritage ), sweet bell peppers (sweet poblano peppers are better if you can get them inexpensively), hot chile peppers, your fave chiles , serrano, jalapeno, hot bananas, etc.. maybe 1 or 2 habaneros if you want more heat), italian stewed tomatoes (substitute with any of the many diced and stewed variations you may find in your local market.), straw mushrooms (any shrooms will work, we always grab the least expensive canned variety available.), fennel, whole bulbs garlic, capers, green pimento stuffed olives, tblsp dried oregano, bay leaves, ground black pepper, olive oil (extra virgin if you can find it inexpensively.), chopped fresh cai cilantro (my fave is wide leaf cai cilantro.. if you can find it... exquisite!), grated romano cheese ., balsamic vinegar, rutabaga, if you can tsp find fresh greens , you can always find canned greens and all canned ingredients... the idea is that when you are on-the-road you must eat healthy and avoid white flour sandwiches and fried fast food to survive.
