Recipe



Hold each chili with a fork over a gas flame,
turning until lightly roasted on all sides. Place the
chili in a bowl with 2 cups of warm water, and soak
for 20 minutes.

Prepare achiote oil by stirring together annato
seeds and vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat
for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Oil
will keep indefinitely, tightly covered, in a cool
place.

For Potato Mixture:

Stir 1/4 cup achiote oil into mashed potatoes
(reserve remainder of the oil for another use). Add
lime or lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside.

For Sauce:

Drain ancho chilies, reserving soaking liquid,
and place them in a processor with the olive oil,
fresh chilies, and garlic. Process until smooth.
With the machine running, add 1/2 cup of walnuts, 1/2
cup reserved pepper soaking liquid and 2 tablespoons
of salt. Process until smooth. Add half of the
crumbled cheese and process until smooth. Transfer to
a small bowl. Coarsely chop the remaining walnuts and
add them to the mixture with the remaining cheese;
salt and pepper to taste.

Shape potato mixture into about 2 dozen 1
1/2-inch balls. Arrange them on a bed of lettuce
leaves, spooning a little sauce on top. Garnish with
eggs, corn, coriander and olives. Serve at room
temperature.
