Chiles Rellenos version 2.0

Though version 2.0 would suggest that this was an improved version.  I liken this to Windows ME to Windows 2000, supposedly an upgrade but in actuality a huge downgrade. 

Onions, kielbasa, chicken broth, anaheim chiles, paprika, oregano, black beans and goat cheese.

The kielbasa was fried off in a bit of olive oil.

Now the onion and spices.

Next the chicken broth and beans, which boiled down until the liquid was almost gone.

This version called for the chiles to be roasted off in the oven, which in hindsight was a pretty big mistake.  There's no better way to roast peppers than over the open flame of a gas range.

The side dish for this meal was rice and collard greens.

The other big difference was this dish was baked in the oven rather than deep fried.  Again a novel idea, but not even close to the same thing as the deep fried version.

The final plate.  For some reason I don't have any pics, but over the top is a mango salsa.
