More Than Vegetables Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk and honey until blended. Add to cornmeal mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in carrots and peppers., Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the chili: Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash and a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Remove the squash from the pan and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chili powder (use less if you like milder chili) and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock, tomatoes, beans, sugar and cooked squash and bring to a simmer. Cook until all of the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. (If the liquid reduces to less than three-quarters of the way up the sides of the squash, stir in a little water.) Stir in the baby spinach by the handful until all is incorporated and wilted.
• For the cornbread topping: Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, sour cream and egg together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and Cheddar. Drop spoonfuls of the batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. (The batter will not completely cover the chili.)
• Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched and the chili is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Serve with more sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or ovenproof baking dish and heat in the oven until the oil is piping hot, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt and baking soda. Add the okra, onion, corn, banana pepper and chiles and toss to coat. Set aside. In a large measuring cup, combine the buttermilk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.
• Remove the heated skillet from the oven and pour the hot oil into the batter. Stir to combine, and then pour the batter back into the hot skillet. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Using a serrated knife, slice into wedges and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Grease a 9-inch-square baking pan. If using fresh mild chilies, peel by roasting over gas flame or under broiler until skin is blackened. Rub off skin. Discard seeds and white membrane and slice peppers in strips.
• Mix dry ingredients, stirring to incorporate baking powder throughout.
• Mix egg, oil and milk, and stir into dry ingredients. Add chopped hot chilies and mild chili strips, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
• Turn into prepared pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until top starts to brown and sides pull away from pan. Remove and serve immediately, cut into squares.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the onions and garlic in oil for 5 minutes.
• Add the carrots, cover, and saute for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the remaining vegetables and seasonings and cook on low heat until vegetables are just tender.
• The mixture should be saucy; add more tomato juice if necessary.
• Serve over hot corn bread and top with sour cream or cheese.

Steps:

• Evenly arrange chicken in a greased 13"x 9" inch baking pan. In a bowl, mix together soup, sour cream, pepper, and basil. Add frozen vegetables; spread over chicken in pan. Prepare cornbread according to package instructions. Spread batter evenly to cover vegetables. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Let cool for 15 minutes.
