Beyond the Border: Gourmet does Vegetarian Mexican

Beyond the Border: Gourmet does Vegetarian Mexican

posted by Mighty Staff

In this month's Gourmet magazine Rick Bayless (inspired by Veracruz chef and food anthropologist Raquel Torres) creates a hearty and complex traditional Mexican meal that is deliciously vegetarian - Beyond the Border. It's refreshing to see traditional Mexican cuisine from a fresh (to many) point of view, but as Bayless says, it's not altogether uncommon,

"the further away from the cities you go, the more indigenous the cooking becomes - meaning it reaches all the way back into Mexico's pre-Columbian past, a time when most everyday cuisine was vegetarian, and folks used a huge variety of edible plants."

The feature includes recipes for; Plantain-Stuffed Chipotles Chiles in Escabeche, Red Chileatole with Fall Vegetables, Black-Bean Tostados with Roasted Tomatillo Sauce, and Coconut Tarts with Prickly Pear Sauce.
