Correct -- they're just charred and then blammed. You could definitely do them on the grill, or even roast them in the oven. A little different spin on the Mexican technique of charring the vegetables, then pureeing them, and then "frying" the sauce. This one uses that sauce as the base for the stew. Enjoy! (PS -- Sandra tells me that Guatemalans serve their meals with chopped chiles on the side, so that people can make it as mild or hot as they like. So you may want to do that as well.) Kurt . . .

Gonna have to make this. Will have to get the tomatillos from Bodega La Reyna, though, since the season has passed (and my garden only yielded about a dozen anyway!) I think it would be fine to roast the veggies on the grill. it appears they are not peeled after roasting, is that right? Alright, I have some chickens rolling in this weekend from a nearby farm.

I've been thinking of you, wondering how you've been doing with your retirement. Yes, it is all connected--and you have been such a big part of it at Davis (I just read the Davis Farmers' Market was named one of the most popular in America--exciting!). Thanks for giving me a deeper understanding of what those connections mean from an agricultural point of view . . . and I'll look forward to hearing your new perspectives on those connections here!

I really appreciate how you connect food to community - how everything is connected and local. I've had a chance to step back now that I'm retired from the university and really SEE the connections. So proud we're a part of it. Lia, I love this post; look forward to trying the recipe. I really appreciate how you connect food to community – how everything is connected and local.

She is quite the show-stopper. By the way, Sandra pointed out that Guatemalan food tends not to be as spicy hot as Mexican food; they serve their chiles on the side so everyone can set their own heat. It's good stuff.
