Blogwatch: Cheese-Grits Chile Rellenos
It's early as I write this. Strike one.
My mind is fried from all the turkey coverage of the last two weeks. Strike two.
But when I look at this "breakfast of champions" created by Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake, I experience a moment of clarity. A singularity of purpose. And that purpose is to procure the ingredients for this cheese-grits chile relleno dish and knock one out of the park.
I mean, look at that thing. Based on a recipe by Matt Lee and Ted Lee, it's all roasted poblano peppers (yum) filled with cheese grits (also yum), topped with roasted tomato gravy (oh, yeah). Plus, don't you love it when a food also serves as a serving vessel for itself?
I don't know how you could improve upon this thing.

That looks amazing - the picture is making my poor, empty stomach growl.

Wow. Something got my mind off of turkey. This looks AWESOME.

Looks delicious, and its always good to see a variation of the chile relleno. Here in NYC a good relleno is as elusive as a tap-dancing unicorn.....

I don't like grits, but I really don't like turkey! Thank you for the diversion this morning. I am so over Thanksgiving and it's not even here yet!!

When in doubt, add bacon!

This looks delish! It's been too long since I've had some cheese grits.

Oh my, oh my. That looks like pure heaven!

@b0tn0t - You're right! Bacon in the grits would probably go insanely well with this.

Good Lord that looks wonderful. I would imagine that shrimp n' grits would be great in this roasted pepper as well...would be wonderful for a lunch!!! Oh great, now I have to go BACK to the market...:o)

I think the World Capsicum Consortium should hire you as a spokesperson. This is...elegiac.

I love chili relenos. But shouldn't it be battered and fried.

A fried egg to make a breakfast chili!

No, wait--an egg, then all wrapped in a tortilla!
