Enchiladas with Mole

20 Nov

For Francis…

Hello there, I was at my sister’s for a week to help her out a little bit. Lucky me got to do a lot of cooking so I will share a few recipes with you guys…. ;-)

You need:

  • 8 fajitas
  • 500g of chicken
  • sweet corn
  • 1 can of peeled and minced tomatoes
  • 500ml of chicken stock
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 30-40g of dark chocolate (you could also use coacoa)
  • grated cheese (ex: cheddar)
  • salt & pepper
  • cayenne pepper
  • cinammon
  • some cloves

Here it goes:

Put some butter (or oil) in a medium sauce pan at medium heat. Put in the chopped onion and stir until you stop crying (private joke!). Add the tomatoes, some salt and pepper, some cayenne pepper (you could also use tabasco), cinammon and a few cloves. Now you can start adding little bits of chocolate and stir until they are completely dissolved. Add the chicken stock and let it reduce a bit for a while. When you have a creamy texture add some crème fraiche for the colour.

In the meantime, chop up the chicken into little pieces and put it with some butter, salt & pepper, in a frying pan until they get golden. Take out a gratin form, take a fajita, put in the chicken and some sweet corn and roll it up. Do so until you have no more chicken and no more fajitas left. Pour the mole on top and sprinkle grated cheese on it.

Now put it in the preheated oven at 180°C and wait till the cheese gets all golden and crispy.

This normally serves 4 people… or two girls and a very hungry brother-in-law ;-)

Enjoy!

 

 

Living with an original

I love my flatmate. Besides being my best friend, she is absolutely nuts and fashionable. I love the fact that she is like a chameleon but still always is herself. I am always impressed about the way she dresses. Sometimes it doesn’t make any sense but it always does look great. I am always more on the careful side… she doen’t care. She just wears whatever comes into her hands first. Even my clothes look great on her… on me they look bored. I think I am depressing my wardrobe but I am willing to learn and develop my own fashionable self… ;-)

PS: In case you might wonder… the dog is called Gerard Voltaire
