Black Bean Tamale Pie
|
 |
 |
 |
1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal 3 cups water 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chili powder
14 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed 12 oz. can enchilada sauce 3/4 cup frozen corn 1/2 medium red onion, chopped 2 small zucchini, split and sliced thin 1/2 cup grated mozzarella or jack cheese (I use nonfat mozzarella) 2 tbs. butter
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Mix corn meal, water, salt and chili powder in a saucepan and cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns thick and stiff. Spoon a little over half of the mixture into a lightly greased 9" x 9" baking pan and smoothe.
Spread the beans over this, then the zucchini, onion, corn, and cheese; then pour the enchilada sauce over the whole thing. Use a teaspoon to put the rest of the cornmeal mixture on top of this, smoothing it to form a layer of dough. Top with small dabs of butter distributed over the top.
Bake 30-35 minutes at 400 F, allow to cool 5 minutes, and serve. I served it with a salad made of shredded cabbage with sunflower seeds and raisins tossed with garlic ranch dressing, and a side of yogurt.
Variations: a diced roasted pepper would be good in the dough; the filling could also include sliced mushrooms, garbanzos, etc.
