Roxane's Green Chili Vegetarian Enchiladas

(Dan calls these my Mercurial Enchiladas)

some vegetable oil
an onion
a few garlic cloves
a pepper or two, red, green, or yellow, diced
a jalepeno or other hot pepper, diced finely
small can of chopped green chiles
a Tbsp or two of chile powder
about a tsp or so of cumin
a little oregano, maybe ¼ to ½ tsp
a can of diced tomatoes. I use a large one if I'm using 2 cans of beans.
a can or two of beans, kidney, black, or pinto, drained
salt to taste, maybe ¼ to ½ tsp
green chile enchilada sauce. I often use the large 28 oz can.
less than a dozen flour tortillas (sometimes as few as 6)
shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled Mexican cotija
sour cream


Cook onion and garlic in oil, then add any kinds of peppers you have in the house and cook till softened.  Add the chili powder, cumin, and oregano.  Add the drained tomatooes, drained beans, canned chiles.  Cook enough, maybe 10 minutes or so, to reduce liquid.  Add salt to taste.

Fill flour tortillas with some mixture and a little cheese. Wrap and place in a baking dish, such as a 13 x 9 pan.  If you have any leftover vegetable mixture, you can place around the enchiladas in the pan. Pour over green chile sauce, making sure all of the tortillas are wet.  Sprinkle rest of cheese over top.  Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for about 25 - 35 minutes.   We serve with a little sour cream.

From http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/apr/30/beetroot-salad-stuffed-artichoke-recipes via Michelle Michelle's note: For those without a food scale, it's about 3 beets, 2 1/2 c rhubarb, 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar.  (And the molasses I had worked out, but I would love to know what pomegranate molasses is.) 800g various beetroots (or, if you can't get them, one type is fine) 300g rhubarb, cut on an angle into 2.5cm pieces 30g caster sugar 2 tsp sherry vinegar 3/4 tbsp pomegranate molasses 2 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp olive oil ½ tsp ground allspice (pimento) 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 20g picked parsley leaves 100g creamy gorgonzola or similar blue cheese, torn into small chunks Salt and black pepper Set the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Wrap the beets individually in foil and bake for 40-70 minutes, depending on size. To check, push a sharp knife through to the centre of each one -- it should be soft all the way through. Set aside to cool, then peel an...

Watergate Cake with Impeachment Frosting, made by Carla

Her'es that stunning cake that Carla brought to the June Project Night at Deb's.   Check out Carla's notes throughout.   Did anyone get a picture of this???

It requires making pudding, cake, frosting, and brittle, then assembling them into a towering confection that will halt all conversation around the table. And no, the frosting does not contain any peaches whatsoever. It does, however, contain plenty of pistachio nuts. INGREDIENTS Pistachio pudding 1 cup (5 ounces) shelled unsalted pistachio ...

Zippy Sticky Chicken from Robin R

Originally from Byron’s Dutch Oven Cooking Robin’s notes:  It can easily be cooked in the oven in your favorite indoor pot as well.  I think the temperature was around 350-375 for 60-75 minutes.   We use mango chutney.  We have also used peach and grape jam/jellies.  Chutney is the best though.  We serve over baked potatoes, which is quite yummy.  When doubling the recipe, watch the sauce thickness.  It be can be quite runny, so we let it cook with the top slightly askew to thicken the sauce a bit 10 skinless chicken thighs ⅔ C ketchup ⅔ C chutney 2 Tbs. olive oil 1 lemon juiced 2 Tbsp red onion, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp hot sauce 1 tsp salt 1 tsp coarse ground black pepper Arrange chicken thighs in a 12” Dutch oven.  In a medium bowl mix together olive oil, ketchup, chutney, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, hot sauce, and lemon juice.   Pour sauce over chicken then cover and bake using 8-10 briquettes bottom and 1...
