and Rubs , I will be bringing a few along with me this year

:drive :festivarian

I guess you’ll have to stock up in Montrose before you get there. :eek

Mikes Market on Miami just off Hillcrest has some good stuff. :thumbsup

Very nice to hear! I’ll DEFINITELY stop by.

I never suspect anything while passing by! but theres nothing like a good Mary in the morning! got get your veggies right?

What about pickled green beans in the bloody bloody mary? They’re yummy - I’ll see if I can find some.

Ok Guys heres the Deal I normally bring 10 to 20 pounds of Frozen Green Chilie with me ever year
for Rhonny’s Chilie Verde and Others I also will be bringing a couple of pounds of powdered Green chilie
found a good supplier , we also have a farmers market here were i can get the pickled green beans , ive brought those for Kim since she turned me on to em a few years ago .

I think we have about 40 pounds left in our freezer , Chilie that is , I think I will bring it all just to clean out our freezer for this years batch , so if you would like some PM me and i will set aside a couple baggies for ya

Gotta love it HOT !!!

wow 2 sacks thats 60 pounds I get 3 sacks every year except last year was a bad year for green chilie …

I just watched a documentary on green chile’s . . . . what a coincidence! hey Ron . . . I want some. Chile that is, i know where that mind of yours goes.

Since this little event seems to be growing year to year and the Verde ran out so fast last year, I am planning on making a bigger batch (that is a LOT of pork tenderloin!)… so can I increase my chili order dahlink? I’m also going to be playing around with a “veg” version between now and then. I know, I know… sacrilege. I just hate seeing the non-meat eaters missing out on my most excellent verde sauce made with your most excellent chilies.

Has anyone ever smoked tofu? Can it be roasted?

<----- Chile Verde Aficionado

There’s such a thing as “Smofu” which tofu w/a smoked flavor. I have no idea how to smoke it otherwise . . . Anything you do with tofu, the consistency stays pretty much the same . . . Roasted tofu?? hmmm…your guess is a good as mine. I am totally looking forward to the pork version! yummmmmmmmmmmm anything I can contribute?

Tofu is very easy to smoke , just make sure it’s really dry and crumbly before you put it in the pipe :lol :lol :lol

Actually - I marinate some good organic firm tofu in red wine, garlic, and olive oil. Then brush it liberally with more oilive oil before placing it on the grill, it only needs to be turned once so you get those nice grill marks on both sides. I use a weber with green applewood chips for smoke. Be sure to keep the lid tight for maximum flavor. It also cooks much faster than most meats so you have to be careful not to overdo it.

:cheers

Of course Rhonny i have you covered !
green chillie that is …

:cheers

What about some of those other veggie things I see that give a meat like texture? Are they too expensive to consider for a big batch?

I’m also down with making a huge batch of vegetarian red beans for an option. I have a great veggie recipe.

Speaking of food, what’s the name of the market near the bakery?

If you mean next door to Baked in Telluride, then it’s the Village Market.

Ahhh Tuesday afternoon enjoying and Ice cold adult beverage working on my Gaucamole recipe by george I think I got it !!

Eureka!!!

:cheers

:festivarian

Gee thanks Ron…
Now I’ve got a craving for Guacamole! :argh

Cool… a veg version! Hardly a sacrilege, and I promise to sample heavily if the opportunity presents itself.

There’s a company called Smoke & Fire that sells pre-made smoked tofu, but it can also be made at home. I haven’t ever smoked tofu myself but here’s a recipe:

1 Brick very firm tofu (the kind in the tub, not the box)
2 Tablespoons non-flavored cooking oil (like walnut or canola)
1 Teaspoon liquid smoke
2 Tablespoons tamari
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes

  • slice tofu into 1/4 inch thick slices, place in a single layer in a BIG oiled frying pan (you may need to make two batches)
  • fry tofu slices on medium low for 10 minutes on each side until crispy (I know, it sounds like a long time, but trust me)
  • mix together tamari, maple syrup, and liquid smoke, and pour over tofu in pan.
  • sprinkle nutritional yeast over tofu and flip slices until coated and liquid is mostly gone
  • eat and enjoy!
