Written by , Posted in Baking, Beans, Cheese, Dinner, Gluten Free, Leftovers, Legumes, Main Dishes, Quinoa, Sauces, Vegetables, Vegetarian

Enchiladas
Recipe Type: Dinner, Main, Casserole
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 6-10 tortillas (depending on size)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 C cheese, grated
  • 1/2 C salsa
  • Filling: 1 C quinoa cooked (I used leftovers)
  • 2 C black beans (or whatever beans you like), cooked, if you’re using dried beans
  • 1 C tempeh, crumbled (if you’d rather use meat, cooked ground beef, turkey, or chicken could replace)
  • 1-2 ears of corn, off the cob
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, diced
  • 2 t olive oil, divided
  • Sauce: 1 C tomato sauce (or 1 C water, 4-5 T tomato paste, whisked together)
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 1 T sweet paprika
  • 1/2 T smoked paprika
  • 1 t bacon grease (opt.)
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/2 t pepper
  • Serving: salsa
  • Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • avocado, chopped
  • fresh corn off the cob
  • tomato, chopped (opt.)
  • chives, chopped (opt.)
  • cilantro, chopped (opt.)
Instructions
  1. Heat small pan over medium heat, add 1 t olive oil, cook onion 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1-2 minutes.
  2. Whisk sauce ingredients together. Pour 2/3 C in the bottom of a greased (with 1 t olive oil) 9×13 oven safe dish. Mix remaining 1/3 C with filling ingredients and combine.
  3. Divide filling between tortillas. Roll up (with ends tucked in) and place seam side down on the sauce.
  4. Top with cheese and salsa. Bake uncovered at 350F for 40-45 minutes. (Check partway through to be sure that there’s still sauce in the bottom of the pan so it doesn’t burn. If it’s starting to dry out, add more sauce or salsa. This happened to me, but I’d used less sauce than I’ve written in here.)
  5. Serve topped with salsa, yogurt, and any of the chopped veggies (we had tomato, corn, and avocado on the side – it was lovely).
Notes

Gluten Free if you use corn tortillas.

Perfect for a picnic!
Ingredients
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 C water
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 C beans (I used black and pinto)
  • 1 summer squash, chopped (about 2 C total)
  • 1 zucchini, chopped (about 2 C total)
  • 4 ears of corn, kernels cut off the cob
  • 1/2 tomato, chopped
  • 8 pear tomatoes, halved
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 4 C water
  • 2 C uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1/4 fresh herbs, chopped (I used: chives, parsley, basil, and oregano)
  • 1/2 C kale, chopped
  • 2-3 T olive oil, divided
  • 1 C parmesan cheese
  • dressing: 1/2 C olive oil
  • 1/2 C balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 C apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T maple syrup
  • 1 T dijon mustard
  • salt
  • pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat a medium saucepan. Add 1 1/2 T olive oil. Add garlic and quinoa and cook, stirring often, over medium-high heat, 3-5 minutes. Add water, cover, bring to a boil. Uncover, let cook about 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is cooked.
  2. Meanwhile, add 1 1/2 T olive oil to a hot skillet. Add chicken breast and 1 C water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook covered, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 170F (about 10 minutes per side, or so, if it’s thick). Remove from pan and cool in refrigerator. Chop in small pieces.
  3. Combine all dressing ingredients except oil. Slowly whisk in oil.
  4. Combine quinoa with half of the dressing. Cool completely in refrigerator.
  5. Combine quinoa with veggies, cheese, chicken, and dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve with bread and honey butter, or corn muffins!
Notes

Keep salad cool while at the picnic with ice packs!
Could make vegetarian by omitting chicken, and adding tempeh.
This is a main dish, but would be great as a side to grilled steak, pork chops, or chicken. As a side to meat, omitting the meat in the salad would be fine.

Summer Chili – Episode 27

Written by , Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, Beans, Beef, Dairy-Free, Dinner, Gluten Free, Herbs, Kid-Friendly, Legumes, Main Dishes, Meat, Soups, This Week's Feast, Vegetables

I made some yummy summer chili this week! It’s kinda like regular chili, except it has summer veggies. Like summer squash, green beans, basil, and other more year rounders like carrots and onions, all from this week’s Abundant Harvest Organics box. The squash and carrots are grated, so you don’t even notice they’re in there (not that I’d mind, but it’s fun to hide veggies sometimes, just because). Was it ever goooooood!

I forgot to eat lunch before I started filming. It was just torture to be smelling that chili for an hour. After I finally finished and plated and took photos I was going to try a bite. One turned into half the bowl and most of the cornbread… it was delicious. I ate it again a few hours later as real dinner.

I served it with this cornbread. It’s my go-to recipe. It’s easy and so delicious. (It’s even good the next day.)

We had it for dinner, and we also shared some with some friends who had a baby over the weekend. Even their picky eater ate some of it. 😉

The little “song” at the end had been stuck in my head ALL day. While editing, I think I counted 5 different times that I sang parts of it. It’s in my head again today. It makes me giggle a little.

Mediterranean Quinoa

Written by , Posted in Beans, Cheese, Dinner, Gluten Free, Grains, Main Dishes, One Dish Dinners, Quick and Easy, Quinoa, Vegetables, Vegetarian

This blogging adventure of mine is still a pretty new endeavor. It has needed plenty of encouragement, support, and love. When I first started (officially) blogging a little less than a year ago, I asked a few friends if they wanted to be ambassadors. Their job was/is to tell people about my blog and get them interested. In return I promised to create a dish for and named after them.

This past Wednesday, after a long and tiring day of editing, I was trying to come up with something for dinner. I finished work at 6, and was supposed to Skype with my family a few minutes later. I had something on the menu, but hadn’t done any work to prepare it (and might not have even had all the ingredients required). So I stood at the pantry cupboard and sought inspiration. I think some of the best meals come from staring at a bunch of ingredients sitting on a shelf. This was no exception.

The ingredients that sounded yummy to me reminded me of what one of my ambassadors had said she liked. The wheels started turning and I soon had the makings for “Mediterranean Quinoa for Stephanie”.

While I cooked, I had a small glass of wine. I was finishing up the dish and preparing to plate so I could take a few photos, so I poured a little more for the photo. Or so I thought. I realized that I’d picked up the olive oil, which was sitting right next to the bottle of wine, and poured it into my mostly empty wine glass. Whoops. Have I mentioned that I was really really tired!? Not one to waste food or wine, I poured the glass into the dish of rosemary infused olive oil and balsamic vinegar that we were going to dip our bread into. 🙂

A little bit about Stephanie Gladysz… She’s become a friend because I’m friends with her daughters Genevieve of Create Nourish Share, and Alexandra of Pink and Honey. She lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It gets really really cold there in the winter. She and her husband own and operate Joey’s Restaurant in Regina, SK. They make really great fish and chips! She wrote a book called (Gasp) I have an idea! She’s really good at connecting people to my blog and often tells someone a specific post that reminded her of them. She’s a good encourager too. I’m thankful that she’s been willing to tell people about my work.

Thanks, Stephanie! Here’s the recipe that I created for you. I hope you enjoy it!!
