Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need. ~ Julia Child
Measurement Wisdom
I always think I don't need to use the larger pan, and generally, I'm wrong...and then I have another pan to wash! So follow Julia's wisdom above, and use the measurements below. This information is also on the Pages menu to the right. (Poor piggy, I accidently used a Tbsp of tabasco, instead of a tsp).
Recipe du Jour
A south-of-the-border Sloppy Joe, this recipe, modified to be plant-based, is from a Contra Costa Times newspaper Taste of the Times Cookbook. The flavor resembles a molé sauce, but is not as complex. This is quick, easy to make, and sure to please.
Sloppy José - Plant-based
Serves 4-6
Filling
In the bowl of a large food processor, coarsely chop, then transfer mixture to a large saucepan and simmer

1 small can green chilies
5 pimento-stuffed green olives (+ a few extra for the cook)
1 red bell pepper, chopped and quartered
½ cup raisins
¼ cup walnuts
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves

1 package flour tortillas, 8 in a package
1 jar mild salsa, for variety, try mild salsa verde
Fill flour tortillas with about 1/8 of the filling and roll. Place in a lightly sprayed casserole dish. Place extra filling between each enchilada. Top with salsa, and bake at 325º for 30 minutes.

Variation
Instead of rolling into enchiladas, layer the tortillas and filling, ending with tortillas, then top with salsa. Bake as above.
Serve with cashew cream - recipe coming soon - and for those who like it hot, a selection of hot-hotter-hottest sauces.
Enjoy!
