a few simple easy quick recipies.....

Postby Obayan » Thu Mar 04, 2010 7:57 pm

Tamalie bake:

2 cans tamalies
2 cans chili
1 package shredded cheese

Put tamalies in a pan. Cover with chili. Bake in oven for apx 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cover with cheese and serve.



Stew:

1 large roast
2 whole onions diced
4 stalks celery diced
4 carotts sliced thin
2 cups mushrooms sliced
2 large tomatoes diced
4 large potatoes diced
3 cubes beef boulion
salt and pepper to taste

place all veggies in the bottom of a slow cooker. Cover with meat. Cover all with enoug water to cover the top of the meat. Slow cook for apx 6 hours. Add the boulion. Once it disolves, you can serve.

You can use flour to thicken the sauce but i find it'llthicken naturally if you let it rest a bit. No need to season a roast. The flavor of the meat and veggies are awesome.




Jalapeno poppers:

1 dozen jalapeno peppers
1 square cream cheese
bacon

Cut peppers in half and clean out the seeds. Stuff with cream cheese. Wrap in bacon and put on grill until crisp.




grilled onions:

2 large onions sliced.
1 large tomato diced
basil
salt and pepper to taste
2 crushed garlic cloves
4 tablespoons butter
4 mushrooms sliced

In a skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions. When onions are carmalized and begin to get a clear look to them, add the remaining ingredients. Simmer on low heat about 10 minutes.

This goes great over linguini with a little parmeasan cheese. Or you can slice up some french bread and toast it with this on top.



chicken soup:


1 whole chicken cut up and deboned and deskinned
4 cups egg noodles
2 cups diced carrotts
2 cups diced celery
2 cups diced potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups chicken broth


In a pan boil chicken until done. Dice up the chicken. In a seperate pan, add all othre ingredients. Add diced chicken. Bring to a boil. Let simmer on medium heat until veggies are nice and tender.

I like to serve this with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into chunks
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package mild taco seasoning mix
1 bunch green onions, chopped, divided
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
5 (12 inch) flour tortillas
3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives

Directions
Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

Beef Tamales

Ingredients
4 pounds boneless chuck roast
4 cloves garlic
3 (8 ounce) packages dried corn husks
4 dried ancho chiles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon white vinegar
salt to taste
3 cups lard
1 tablespoon salt
9 cups masa harina flour

Directions
Place beef and garlic in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as water boils, reduce heat to a simmer and cover pot. Let simmer for 3 1/2 hours, until beef is tender and shreds easily. When beef is done, remove from pot, reserving 5 cups cooking liquid and discarding garlic. Allow meat to cool slightly, and shred finely with forks.
Meanwhile, place corn husks in a large container and cover with warm water. Allow to soak for 3 hours, until soft and pliable. May need to weight down with an inverted plate and a heavy can.
Toast ancho chiles in a cast iron skillet, making sure not to burn them. Allow to cool and then remove stems and seeds. Crumble and grind in a clean coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Mix in flour and allow to brown slightly. Pour in 1 cup beef broth and stir until smooth. Mix in ground chiles, cumin seeds, ground cumin, minced garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, vinegar and salt. Stir shredded beef into skillet and cover. Let simmer 45 minutes.
Place lard and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whip with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add masa harina and beat at low speed until well mixed. Pour in reserved cooking liquid a little at a time until mixture is the consistency of soft cookie dough.
Drain water from corn husks. One at a time, flatten out each husk, with the narrow end facing you, and spread approximately 2 tablespoons masa mixture onto the top 2/3 of the husk. Spread about 1 tablespoon of meat mixture down the middle of the masa. Roll up the corn husk starting at one of the long sides. Fold the narrow end of the husk onto the rolled tamale and tie with a piece of butchers' twine.
Place tamales in a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for approximately one hour, until masa is firm and holds its shape. Make sure steamer does not run out of water. Serve immediately, allowing each person to unwrap their own tamales. Allow any leftovers (still in husks) to cool, uncovered, in the refrigerator.

Someplace on here you gave a recipe for 'stuffed mushrooms'. I did a double batch and dang if I didn't run out. Everyone loved them and wanted the recipe, of course, YOU got the credit.

Thanks for doing this. I love to try new things, just me and my not eating a lot of meat, including chicken.

Thought I would let you know, and lots of "thank yous' from those that enjoyed the mushrooms.

If it was me, and i was leaving out the chicken, i'd use beef broth instead of chicken broth. Make it more like a nice veggie stew in a pie crust. One little tip, use 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup V8 juice. Reallly brings out the flavors a lot.

Quinoa with Chopped Okras

With the instructions from the box, add 1 extra cup of water (so that it does not come out dry.) I also added 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Feel free to use whatever oil you like, such as coconut oil, grapeseed oil, sesame seed oil, whatever.

Lentils

Add 1 extra cup of water. 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of lentils.


My favorite salt to use is Himalayan crystal salt.

I chopped up garlic, carrots, scallions, celery and okras to toss in with the beans.

Top with goat cheese. (Soft goat cheese with garlic & chives)

_______________

Using a Vitamix or blender,


Apple, Kiwi, Kale Juice/Smoothie

I used a little water, 6 to 7 apples (remove seeds first), 4 to 5 kiwis, 3 stalks of kale & stevia. Absolutely delicious. Blend until mixed well/creamy/smooth.

Add to gallon bottle, add water & sweeten.
_____________

Detox-a-million Smoothie

Using a Vitamix or blender,

Bananas, raspberries, handful of grapes, 3 kiwis, a little water, celery, wormwood tea, black walnut powder, clove powder, ginger powder.

(Don't use too much powder, less than half a teaspoon for each!)

Blend until creamy/smooth.

Add to gallon bottle, add water, & of course sweeten with Stevia.

Zesty Corn Soup/Puree


Blend everything in a heavy duty blender until relatively smooth. Gives several servings.

If using as a soup, you can also blend in some soft goat cheese (like Montechevre Garlic & Herb or so). The cheese will make it creamier.

This base can also be put in a dehydrator & made into corn chips.
___________________

1 pkg Corn (use deep skillet & 1 cup of water to reheat frozen corn.)
3 carrots (mine were relatively medium sized--not skinny & not thick)
4 small onions
1/2 pkg of garlic
4 mushrooms (portabella or whatever you like)

1 tbsp Himalayan crystal salt
1 tbsp kelp powder
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp cayenne powder


This is a very plain recipe. Add seasonings for even more zest! (e.g. thyme, oregano, parsley, etc.)
