Prog Chefs Unite!!!

Hey guys, stop making me feel hungry

A nice and easy Sunday supper: tortilla'filled with chicken and beans

Cut bit of chickenbreast (a European pound for 2 adults and 2 little kiddo's) into 1 cm cubes, fry in oil with some chopped garlic and onion.
Add an equal amount of precooked kidney beans (either whole or after putting them through the food processor, 2 tomatoes (or one can of tomato paste), paprika powder, cumin and powdered coriander seeds to taste. Leave on the fire until the beans are hot. Put a fitting amount of the mixture on top of a tortilla and fold like an envelope. Put all tortillas in a large tray, cover with grated hard cheese (nacho, old dutch or whatever you like) and put in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.

Serve with freshly made guacamole, salsa and crème fraiche. Buon appetito!

Serve with rice or bread. It's autumn here in the UK and it just hit the spot nicely.

Sounds a bit like what I'm doing here in the kitchen.

It's supposedly autumn here in the heart of America, but feels more like summer! Come on fall!!!

I hope if Heaven has a smell, that it smells like curry. Smelling curry is to the nose what seeing Jessica Alba in a lace teddy is to the eyes.

It's the first time in years that I have eaten 3 meals a day. Two of those meals being of 3 courses.

My favourite dish of the holiday was Red Deer in a juniper-berry sauce with palenta cakes.

Keep monitoring this thread and you'll gain another 10 pounds Lee.... 

You know, Eric, as a native Italian, I do use garlic in a lot of dishes, but I have a sort of 'feeling' for when it is better to avoid it. Garlic has a wonderful taste, but it also tends to be quite assertive - and spinach and ricotta fillings are meant to be delicate, not assertive.

I've noticed that in the US people tend to pile up the tastes and flavours without realising that they often overpower each other. I think you'd realise the difference immediately if you ever got to taste real Italian food in Italy.

However, I've been baking for over 30 years now, so I know most of the tricks of the trade. I've never used a mixer for making a cake, though - I do like mixing ingredients by hand, using a wooden spoon first, then a wire whisk when the mixture is thinner. I've used the all-in-one method as well, having the butter very soft, or using oil instead of it - or even melting the butter and other ingredients (especially chocolate) before adding the rest. And Eric - please, leave any kind of garlic out when making that dish. It really doesn't belong there!

What?  Leave garlic out of your cake recipe?  Harrumph!

Unless you're talking crab cake perhaps.
