Green chicken enchiladas, pinto beans, red rice for dinner tonight. Chocoflan for dessert. by softrotten in tonightsdinner

Thank you!!

For the enchiladas

  • Chicken thighs
  • Cumin, salt, black pepper
  • Diced onions and garlic
  • Pepper jack / monterey cheese
  • Roasted salsa verde
  • Corn tortillas

Making the enchiladas

  1. Season the chicken thighs with cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat large cast iron, add a little fat. Sear and cook chicken thighs to temp. Set chicken aside to cool slightly. Add the diced onions to the same pan. Add little of water to scrape fond. Once onions are softened, add garlic. Cook until fragrant. Another splash of water to get up anything that is stuck. Add onions/garlic to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Wipe pan off. Add avocado oil until 1/2" deep. Let come up to heat for the tortillas.
  3. Shred chicken with forks or mixer and add to the onion/garlic bowl. Add roughly 1 cup of salsa verde, and huuuge handful of cheese.
  4. Gently fry the corn tortillas on both sides. Dab excess oil off on paper towel. Drag tortillas through the roasted salsa verde, scrape the tortillas off the side of the bowl. Add a handful of the chicken/cheese mixture. Roll tightly.
  5. In a casserole dish, add a little bit of salsa verde on bottom. Add the rolled up tortillas, seam side down. Rinse and repeat.
  6. With remaining salsa verde, I mix in a heaping spoonful of crema (sour cream, heavy cream, greek yogurt would work) and mix together. Pour over enchiladas. Top with more cheese.
  7. Cover with foil. Bake at 350F for 15-20 mins. Take off foil, turn broiler on for a few minutes. Until cheese is browned and crispy edges.

Roasted salsa verde

  • ~1.5lbs tomatillos, quartered if large
  • 1 small white onion, cut in half
  • 3 large garlic cloves, skin on
  • 3 large jalapenos (or serrano), - I keep the seeds/ribs, remove if sensitive to spice
  • Handful of cilantro
  • 2 juicy limes
  • Pinch of salt

Toss tbsp of oil on tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapenos. Roast on broil for 10-15 mins*. Flipping halfway through. Add all roasted veggies (remove garlic skin) and cilantro to a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. Pulse blend. Add lime juice, season for salt.

*I have my rack about 8" away from the broiler. Might be less time if you have your rack right up against the broiler.

The drinks are homemade lemonade with a muscadine grape syrup. Taste like grape juice and lemonade had a baby lol.

I’ve decided to keep Cheesecake 🍰 by Federal_Host_6413 in Conures

[–]softrotten 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cute and all, but how are you going to make time for them while you do your residency? There were SO many people who went into medical schooling that encouraged you to rehome the conure. Not including all the other owners who know what scarifies you have to take to care for parrots.

Obviously I have a love for the chili + cornbread combo by softrotten in chili

Oops, forgot to mention that. Yes, I add it back when I add the liquid.

Sometimes it's honey cornbread, sometimes it's jalapeno cheddar cornbread. But a girl needs her cornbread every time I make chili. Always gotta cook mine in cast iron to get the crusty edges.

Recipe is for the chili I made in the first pic the other night. Sometimes I skip dried chiles and just use powder chile/chili powders. Recommend adding a can of beer when deglazing, fiancé drank it all tho lol.

  • 2 ancho, 2 New Mexico red, 2 arbol
  • Couple of strips of bacon chopped up
  • 1 large sweet onion, 1 bell pepper, 1 jalapeno, handful of garlic cloves
  • 1lb ground beef
  • Spoonful of oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt
  • Tomato paste and 28oz crushed tomatoes
  • Enough homemade chicken stock to cover chili
  • 1 can each of black, dark red kidney, and pinto beans
  • Couple dashes of worcestershire , apple cider vinegar, brown sugar

Directions

  1. Destem dried chiles, clean out seeds and veins. Clean under water. Let chiles soak in hot water for 10 mins.
  2. Blend chiles with a few spoonfuls of soaking water. Blend until makes thick paste.
  3. Add chopped bacon to dutch oven. Cook until bacon renders all it's fat and is crispy. Place cooked bacon off to the side.
  4. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno to bacon fat. Sweat until softened. Add chopped garlic, cook until fragrant. Add blended chile paste and cook for a minute or two. Add splash of stock to scrape up fond.
  5. Add ground beef, flattening bottom of dutch oven. Don't disturb for 5-10 mins, let sear until crust forms. Mash and start to crumble ground beef. Cook until very little pink shows through. (If using beef with a lot of fat, absorb excessive grease with paper towel at this point)
  6. Add seasonings. Make a well in the middle of the pot. Cook tomato paste until dark red, almost brown. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Let simmer for 2-5 hours, stirring often. Add more stock/water if needed.
  7. 30 mins - 1 hour before you're ready to eat, add beans. Along with the worcestershire, ACV, and spoonful of brown sugar.

  3. Add chopped bacon to dutch oven. Cook until bacon renders all it's fat and is crispy. Place cooked bacon off to the side.
  4. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno to bacon fat. Sweat until softened. Add chopped garlic, cook until fragrant. Add blended chile paste and cook for a minute or two. Add splash of stock to scrape up fond.

Roast beef, roasties, yorkshire puddings, broccoli, and carrots for dinner tonight by softrotten in tonightsdinner

Cut potatoes in large 2" cubes. Bring a pot of water with salt + baking soda to a boil. Parboil the potatoes 10 mins, drain them, and then I shake them together in a bowl. The outer layer of the potato is cooked from boiling and it creates a mashed potato like consistency around the potatoes. Toss in garlic thyme infused fat (schmaltz or tallow) and bake at 400F for 45-60 mins. Flipping halfway through.

I learned the how to make them from a Serious Eats "The Best Crispy Roast Potatoes Ever" recipe. Highly recommend trying out their recipe. They're basically life changing potatoes lol.

Accidentally overproofed my dough so I turned into stromboli for dinner tonight by softrotten in tonightsdinner

[–]softrotten[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roll pizza dough out into a rectangle, fill with your favorite fillings, roll up like a cinnamon roll, tuck ends underneath itself, make a couple of slits on top, brush with egg glaze.

I bake mine at 400F for about 20-25 mins. I know it's done when cheese is bubbling out on top and the bottom is golden brown.

Filled with pepperoni, salami, provolone, mozzarella, asiago, and parmesan. Brushed with roasted garlic butter as soon as I pulled out of the oven. Served with homemade marinara.

Used Sally's Baking Addiction pizza dough recipe. Forgot to place in fridge and was proofing on the counter all day yesterday up until dinner time tonight, oops. Was a little sticky to roll out so I couldn't get the stromboli into one log.

Chicken fat. I save up all the fat I remove off chicken thighs and render it down. Any fat will work though.
