Ingredients and Directions

Directions

  1. Over medium-high heat, heat oil in medium saucepot. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent. Add cumin and cook for an additional minute. Add rice and stir to coat. Add water, reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook until rice is done – about 15 minutes. Remove rice from pot into a bowl and season with salt. Stir in black beans and check seasoning again. Keep in a warm place until ready to use.

  2. Preheat oven to 350° F.

  3. Line a buttered 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Butter the paper, dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

  4. Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour, cook stirring constantly for about three minutes.

  5. Increase heat to high, whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Stir occasionally and let simmer for five minutes.

  6. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. In a stainless steel bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Stir one-third of the whites into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the remaining beaten egg whites.

  8. Pour the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan and spread gently with a metal spatula. Transfer to oven and bake until golden and firm to the touch – about 15 minutes.

  9. Remove pan from oven. Increase oven temperature to 375° F.

  10. Cover the egg sponge with a buttered piece of parchment paper, buttered side down. Then cover with a damp kitchen towel and invert onto a work surface and peel off paper from top.

Final Assembly Method

Directions

  1. Spread the rice/bean mixture and hot pork mole onto the sponge, leaving a half-inch border on all sides.

  2. Place a flat baking sheet without sides next to the sponge.

  3. Starting with one of the longer sides, use the towel to help roll the egg sponge, jelly roll fashion. Carefully roll onto the baking sheet.

  4. Return the roulade to the oven and bake 12-15 minutes.

  5. Use serrated knife to cut crosswise into half-inch thick slices. Spread salsa verde on plate. Place roulade slice on top of salsa verde, then garnish with lime crema and cilantro. Add charred tomatillo half as garnish, if desired.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
