If you cannot get somebody’s good idea as a whole, try to get the gist of it. With a bit of imagination and a good thinking process, you can either figure it out or make up a new one…
Yesterday I bought all the ingredients to make Enchiladas.... all but one. I forgot one of the main ingredients...chicken breast!
All I had at home were chicken drumsticks. No meat, no fish or prawns (which are surprisingly good in enchiladas) nothing. So I decided to go for vegetarian enchiladas... well not really, the stuffing was vegetarian but the topping wasn't. I turned it into a drumstick decorated enchilada pie. It looked impressive ... It tasted good!
Recipe
Ingredients
10 tortillas (I used wholemeal ones)
3 big onions sliced
4 coloured peppers(1 of each colour) sliced
4 cloves of garlic
1 tin plumb tomato mashed
¼ cup olive oil
1tsp paprika
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp cumin
¼ tsp grated nutmeg
1 tsp coriander powder
¼ tsp mustard powder
¼ cup sunflower oil
Salt
Grated cheddar cheese
Method
Start by mixing all the spices, crushed garlic and olive oil divide thismixture into two portions
Sprinkle salt on the drumsticks and marinate in 1 portion of spice mixture for 15 mins minimum
In a large pan, heat the oil and fry the chicken until brown. Remove from the pan and reserve.
In the same pan fry the onion for 4 mins, add pepper, salt and fry for few extra mins or until soft, add the crushed tomatoes and the spice mixture.
Reduce the heat, place the chicken in the pan, cover and let it simmer.
Once cooked remove the chicken and place in a large round oiled baking tin.
Put one tortilla bread flat to cover the chicken.
Layer with 3 Tbs of the stuffing.
Stuff and roll the rest of the tortillas and place in the tin.
Pour the remaining sauce on the top.
Bake in a medium heat oven for at least ½ hour.
Remove the baking tin and place a large serving plate on top of it. Turn it upside down to release the pie.
Sprinkle grated cheese while still hot.
Serve warm.
