This is her:
Regardless of our distance- we still share recipes when we hit a good one! Now- my sister is a full fledged vegetarian...very close to the vegan border. I am a 100% carnivore that also likes vegetables! Go figure! I asked her initially to be a contributor here on the blog to share her veggie recipes that rock. But seeing that she just had a baby (#3) and she home-schools her kids and has an online teaching job (she rocks right?)...well- I will just post this Veggie Enchiladas recipe for her! Now I rock ;)
12-count corn tortillas
Sauce
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. cumin
¼ c. tomato paste
¼ c. flour*
2 c. veggie broth^
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil
over medium heat. Add 2 tsp. cumin, ¼ c. tomato paste, ¼ c. flour* and whisk,
forming a rue as you would a gravy or cheese sauce. Whisk in 2 c. veggie broth^ and thicken as desired.
*We were actually out of
flour. We put old-fashioned oats in the food processor, ground it into flour,
and used that. The sauce thickened really
well, and it was gluten free. I do not know what the results might be with
other flours.
^Rapunzel Vegan Vegetable
Broth with Sea Salt and Herb – I just whisked the cup into the rue and added
the water to bring up the volume.
Filling
Kernels
from 1 ear of corn
1
medium/small tomato, finely diced
½
sweet onion, finely diced
5
leaves kale, deribbed, finely shredded/chopped
3
small sweet chile peppers, stems and seeds removed, finely diced`
Salt
and pepper to taste
½
c Mexican blend cheese
`The peppers had a slight
spice/heat to them. I got them at the farmers market and have no idea what kind
they were. None of the usual suspects. They look like 1-2” tops – medium green,
some blush on them.
Fill each tortilla with
mixed veggies, top with sprinkle of cheese – I used just a pinch for each one.
Roll them up. Top them with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake ~20 minutes on
350F. I turned off the over and left them in for another 10 minutes before
eating…
Tomatillo Salsa Verde
Roast 8 tomatillos, 3 sweet peppers, 2 small
tomatoes, olive oil (@375F 20 min?). Rough chop 1/3 sweet onion, 1 clove
garlic. Add roasted veggies, ¼ tsp. sugar, salt, pepper. Blend. I likely forgot
something…Money shot: (yes...I just used that as a reference for food)
Looks good huh!
A few more pics of my sis- cause I love her and miss her so!
I love this picture. Kel is a wetlands ecologist and is uber smart! This pic was taken back when she was preggers with her first munchkin...doing fieldwork- sweating to death no doubt!
and this is my Mom, me and my sister on the Captiva -Mucky Duck beach...many moons ago!
So if you give this recipe a go- let me know what you think!
Thanks for the pics and recipe Kel-
Cheers
