Daring Cooks May 2010 – Stacked Enchilada

Posted on 16 May 2010 by | 2 comments

Daring Cooks - Stacked Enchilada

Our hosts this month, Barbara of Barbara Bakes and Bunnee of Anna+Food have chosen a delicious Stacked Green Chile & Grilled Chicken Enchilada recipe in celebration of Cinco de Mayo! The recipe, featuring a homemade enchilada sauce was found on www.finecooking.com and written by Robb Walsh.

I chose to make a single large stacked enchilada instead of individual smaller ones.  Not being able to get my hands on Anaheim chillies or tomatillos I also had to improvise and used what chillies I could get my hands on and the suggested green tomatoes with tamarind to replace the tomatillos. Recipes for the Green Chile Sauce and Stacked Green Chile & Grilled Chicken Enchiladas can be found on Fine Cooking.

#403 – Chicken Sandwich Lunch

#403 - Chicken Sandwich

Most of my lunches consist of leftovers from supper the night before, but sometimes there are no leftovers. That’s when a sandwich comes to the rescue, you can fill them with anything you can think of and they are really easy to eat (well so long as you don’t stuff them with too many fillings).

Today’s Lunch:

  • Multigrain brown bread sandwich filled with lettuce, chicken mayonnaise and pickled zucchini (that was included in this week’s CSA bag),
  • red and green cabbage and sesame seed salad and
  • some grapes.

#402 - Chicken Drumsticks

Sometimes picking up a rotisserie chicken and raiding the fridge for salad ingredients is all I feel like doing after a long day at work.  In this instance I used leftover roast vegetables and sprouts for the salad.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Roast chicken drumsticks and
  • a salad with lettuce, pumpkin, mixed sprouts and balsamic beetroot.

#396 – Chicken Fried Rice Lunch

#396 - Chicken Fried Rice

The little panda shaped soy sauce bottle in today’s lunch is part of a small package of bento goodies a friend brought back from Japan for me after a recent visit. I’ve been eyeing these little bottles for awhile, but the price of buying them over the internet is a big prohibiting factor. Especially when I know that they are not that expensive to buy in Japan itself. I feel very lucky to have gotten my hands on some now and am going to have lots of fun using them in the future.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Chicken and mushroom fried rice with short grain brown rice, shredded roast chicken, sliced mushrooms, diced yellow and orange peppers and some chives,
  • broccoli,
  • a panda bottle filled with ponzu and
  • some grapes.

#395 – Chicken Salad Lunch

#395 - Chicken Salad

Three years ago today I posted my first post on Blogs24 (now Letterdash), it’s hard to believe but all the posts are all there to prove it. As I did last year I’m going to have a little giveaway to celebrate, so keep a lookout for a post on that this weekend sometime.

I found a punnet of red currants in my local Woolworths the other day. They were so bright and cheerful they just had to come home with me. I paired them with some roast chicken and feta cheese in a salad and it was very yummy indeed.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Chicken salad with mixed leaves, cucumber, tomato, bean sprouts, feta cheese, shredded roast chicken, red currants and spring onions
  • and a banana (not pictured).
