  2. Hi Gerard ,   Try this and good luck.

    Torta del Vaquero, or Cowboy’s Pie.

    Ingredients:

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions (1 large onion)

    1 teaspoon salt

    1/2 cup sweet red bell pepper, diced finely

    1/2 cup poblano chile, diced finely

    1 head garlic, minced

    1 bottle beer, divided

    1 1/2 cups corn kernels, either fresh or frozen

    1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (you can use canned–just drain and rinse them well) drained well

    2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

    2 teaspoons ancho chile powder

    1 1/2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika

    1 teaspoon ground coriander

    1 pound very lean ground beef (grassfed has a great flavor for this–or you can use bison, or chorizo sausage)

    1 cup tomato-based salsa of your choice

    1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves

    1 cup finely chopped fresh kale (make sure and remove any large veins before chopping)

    salt and pepper to taste

    5 cups chipotle-chevre mashed potatoes

    1 tablespoon smoked Spanish paprika

    3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

    1/4 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese

    small handful roughly chopped cilantro leaves as garnish

    Method:

    Heat oil on medium heat in a heavy bottomed skillet that will hold all the filling ingredients. Add onion, and sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt. Stir and cook until onion is a light gold color. Add peppers and garlic, and cook, stirring, until the onions are medium brown, and everything is fragrant. At this point, there should be some brown-colored juices stuck to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze these by pouring a scant 1/4 bottle of the beer into the pan, and stirring, scraping the bottom as you go.

    After the alcohol and most of the beer has boiled away, add the corn kernels and the beans. Cook, stirring, until the corn kernels turn a darker brownish yellow with a few obviously browned spots. At this point there should be a great deal of browned matter on the bottom of the pan…add the spices and continue cooking for another minute. Add meat, and spread it through the vegetable mixture, then add the remaining beer to the pan, and scrape up all the browned stuff off the bottom and sides of the pan. Work hard–the starches and sugars from the vegetables have browned and stuck there and will make a lot of good flavors if you can get them mixed in with everything else.

    The meat will brown in the beer–just keep stirring and cooking. When it is brown, stir in the salsa, cilantro and kale, and cook down until a fairly damp, but not liquid-laden filling is made. (If it dries out too much, add some chicken, beef or vegetable broth or stock–or some more salsa or beer.) Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more spices if you think it needs it, and adding salt and pepper to taste.

    Now you are ready to assemble the pies.

    Take two deep dish 9″ pie pans or two 9″ square pans, or some combination thereof and lightly coat the interiors with olive oil.

    Spread half the filling in one pan, and half in the other, packing it down firmly as you go.

    Mix the second measure of Spanish paprika into the potatoes, and spread half of them on one pie, and half on the other. You can make decorative swoops and swirls with the potatoes as you see fit.

    Sprinkle a sparing amount of sharp cheddar cheese on each pie, then follow with a similar amount of smoked cheddar. Then, sprinkle with cilantro.

    Bake in a 375 degrees F oven for about twenty minutes, or until the filling is bubbly (if you use glass pans, this is easy to see), and the cheese is melted and browned in places.

    Can I call around for dinner ?
