Preparation
Cook potatoes in salted water. Mash and set aside in a bowl.
Add sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, sweat onion and mushrooms in butter for 10 min without browning.
Add buckwheat, coriander, chipotle, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a full boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 6 min. Transfer to an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish. Top with corn kernels. With a fork, spread mashed potato evenly over the top. Bake in the middle of the oven 40 min. Serve promptly.
Tips
Chipotle in adobo sauce can be found in jars or cans in the Mexican products section of major supermarkets. Chipotles are red jalapeño peppers that are smoked and dried and preserved in a sauce. In recipes, the peppers are usually drained and chopped before using.
