Goat Cheese Quesadilla With Spiced Cilantro-Mint Chutney
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- About 1 inch piece fresh ginger, coarsely chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
- 3-4 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
- 3-4 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
- Large pinch of salt
- Several good shakes of Tabasco or other hot sauce, or 1/2 fresh chillies, chopped
- 3 tablespoons yogurt
- 8 flour tortillas
- Olive oil for brushing
- 12 ounces goat cheese: fresh and with a rind such as Juniper Grove's Tumalo Tomme, sliced 1/2"-3/4" thick
- In a food processor or blender puree the garlic with the ginger, then add the mint, cilantro, sugar, salt, hot sauce or fresh chili, and yogurt. Whirl until it forms a green slightly chunky paste.
- Make the quesadillas: lay out 4 tortillas then spread them first with the cilantro-mint mixture, then a layer of goat cheese and top with another tortillas.
- Lightly brush the outside of each sandwich with olive oil and cook, one at a time, in a hot heavy nonstick skillet. Brown several minutes over a medium heat until lightly golden in spots, pressing down on them a bit with the spatula as they cook. Flip over carefully using the spatula; when the second side is speckled with brown and gold, the cheese should be melted. Remove from the pan and cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
