Kasha Caliente Recipe (2024)

What are frozen vegetable crumbles ? Mixed vegetables?

is there a substitute for these? not a fan of processed fake meat

Where does one get chile lime garlic tomatillo salsa? I live in CA and aren't familiar with it...lots of salsas here. Is there a receipe addendum to this? Thanks .

I used Hatch Valley Green Chile, Tomatillo, Garlic and Lime Salsa from New Mexico. Use a tomatillo salsa if you cannot find it.

No, it's a vegetarian hamburger substitute. I use these in chili and several other dishes. Very good.

Mexicorn is canned corn with red and green sweet peppers and Mexican styled seasonings.

You were right! Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. I believe the oven temperature might have been omitted accidently as well as adding the roasted salted pumpkin seeds!

Given the volume of filling, I think next time I'll use a Dutch oven or something similar, rather than a skillet. Even my largest skillet was filled to the rim, so it was hard to stir and distribute everything evenly. But otherwise so psyched to try this dish ... thank you Nancy for the inspiration!

I found that once I started mixing the ingredients before baking I just mixed it in the 9 x 13 baking pan. It made it a lot easier to get it mixed well and not make a mess. I have never tried anything like this before so when I had a team member tell me she was a vegetarian I offered to make her something for Thanksgiving. I chose this recipe and was blown away as were all of my co-workers. We could not believe it and everyone is requesting it again! Thanks from Southwest Indiana.

I used Bush's Chile Hot Dark Red Kidney Beans. These special beans are chili seasoned, that is, flavored with chili powder and Mexican seasonings. This is not canned chili with no meat. Chili or chile beans can be pintos, white beans or other beans in a chili flavored sauce. Many different companies make their own chili hot or mild beans.

I took advice of others and reserved scallion and pepitas for garnish. I wonder if it intends to be 350 because I did 375 and it was done in about 35 minutesI also omitted the garlic salt and red hot beans, replaced with black beans and and garnished with charred jalapeños It’s a great way to pack veggies for kiddos, cauliflower shiitake and spinach.. it’s a great recipe idea but this is the first I’ve seen a poorly defined recipe on NYT

I left out the sunflower seeds and kept the scallions raw for a garnish along with some sliced radishes. The garnishes got rid of the ugly-ducking issue. Planning to make this again as a brunch dish with a sunnyside-up egg on top of each portion, lightly sauteed cherry tomatoes on the side. I recommend buying some imported kasha instead of the stuff in the supermarket kosher section. it is waaay tastier and not mushy.

While the flavors in this were good, the texture was really off putting. I followed recipe exactly ( surmising 350 oven and addition of pumpkin seeds) and the result was a thick, stodgy mass. Will not be repeating

Pantry diving and decided to use up the kasha leftover from Rosh HaShanah. I had to substitute regular tomatilla salsa as suggested in the notes, also switched out the meat substitute in favor of mushrooms, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I'm buying more kasha so I'll have an excuse to make this again, the SO (not a veggie) loved it - almost as much as the veggie son.

This makes a ton of food. I didn't use the salsa, didn't drain the roasted tomatoes, only used 2 eggs, and baked it for just 15min. I also skipped the pumpkin seeds because I wasn't sure where to add them in. Next time, I'd double the beans. Super yummy, don't be put off by the canned items!

I think she's referring to the soy meat substitute crumbles. Or use veggie burgers- I imagine that would work.

Strange recipe, in that it calls for a bunch of spices, but also for a lot of processed foods that contain a lot of sodium and spices. I skipped the last two eggs, and finished the dish in a covered skillet on the stovetop instead of in the oven; used tomatillos in place of the salsa; suggest some red bell pepper instead of the "mexicorn," and fresh cilantro instead of dried. Not sure what to do about the fake meat, which is kinda expensive and, y'know, fake.

What is "chili hot kidney beans"? Is this simply canned chili made with beans, i.e. no meat?

Do pumpkin seeds go in with scallions, corn, etc?

Where's the heat?

Or just sautee some onions and mushrooms and add them to the cooked kasha along with some briefly microwaved frozen peas.
