Vegetable Enchiladas With Creamy Roasted Tomatillo Sauce
- 10 medium tomatillos, husks removed and washed (about 1 pound)
- 2 jalapeno peppers
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- salt
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup cilantro, washed well and roughly chopped
- 13 cup light cream
- 13 cup water
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil (or other vegetable oil)
- 1 small zucchini, sliced into strips
- 1 small yellow squash, sliced into strips
- 1 small eggplant, sliced into strips
- 4 portabella mushrooms, sliced into strips
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 12 corn tortillas (I like sprouted corn tortillas)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (monterrey jack also works well)
- 6 ounces queso fresco
- Combine tomatillos and jalapenos on a baking dish.
- Roast under broiler 5 minutes or until skins blacken; turn over and roast for 5 more minutes.
- Melt butter in pot over medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic, fry until soft and a bit charred.
- Add flour and stir.
- Add tomatillos, jalapenos, cilantro, cream and water.
- Blend with a stick blender (if you don't have a stick blender, let cool and pour into a regular blender).
- Taste and add salt if needed.
- Heat olive oil in pan.
- Add zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and mushrooms; cook until softened and slightly brown.
- Add spices, salt and pepper.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Coat the bottom of a rectangular baking pan with the sauce.
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a heavy pan.
- One by one, fry the tortillas in the oil to soften, shaking off any excess.
- Put on a plate and add some of the vegetables, and some of the grated cheese.
- Place in the pan seam-side down.
- Pour the rest of the sauce on top of the enchiladas, and crumble the queso fresco on top.
- Put in the oven until the cheese gets a touch melty -- about 15-20 minutes.
- Cover if it's starting to burn.
