Cottage Flour Tortillas

Ingredients:

6 cups of Organic Unbleached Flour
9 Tbsp of coconut oil refrigerated to make it hard.
2 1/4 cup milk
3 tsp Celtic Sea Salt

Directions:

Measure out your oil and put it in a bowl in your fridge to firm up.
While waiting measure out 6 cups of organic unbleached flour in a large mixing bowl.
Add Sea Salt and stir.
Remove oil from refrigerator and add to flour mix.

With a pastry knife ( or a fork or two butter knives) cut the fat in.  This means that if you have two knives you will put one in each hand and make a cutting motion with both hands going away from one another.  If you have a pastry knife you will use it and push down and rock it to cut in the cold fat.  If you have a fork, just use the fork to cut in the fat until it looks like this. Little chunks of fat are ok, but not huge icebergs of it.

Next get your milk and add it in.

Work this in and knead until you have a smooth ball of dough.
Cut this ball into 1/4 ths.  Make each fourth into a rectangle and cut into six even pieces.  Make them into little balls and put it in a sealed container in the fridge (You should have 24).  This needs to set for 30 min or so.  I have left them over night and they are fine.

When you are ready, remove a dough ball from your refrigerator and place it on your cutting board.
I used a tiny bit of flour to help it not stick to my rolling pin.

Roll out the dough in all directions to make a roundish shape.  You can see mine is not perfect (far from it)
and you will enjoy them just the same. :)

Place in a hot pan and cook about a minute on each side.  If it is sticking you can add coconut oil to your pan and heat.

Serve immediately.

We filled them with jalapeno beans and spicy rice last night and topped with Brianna's fresh salsa.

 

Cheese Enchiladas

These cheese enchiladas have been a part of our entire lives. My mother learned to make them when she was a little girl and she taught us when we were just knee-high to a grasshopper and so here we are sharing with our friends. Prepare to feast on this 

Ingredients:

6 Cups Tomato Sauce 

3 Teaspoon Paste 

1 Teaspoon Spanish Paprika 

1/8 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/8 Teaspoon Chili Powder 

1 Teaspoon Chopped Dry Onions

Block of Cheddar or Jack cheese grated

 20 Organic Corn Tortillas

Coconut Oil

15x10x2 baking dish

Directions:

In a saucepan pour, six cups of tomato sauce to this add 3 teaspoons tomato paste 1/8 teaspoon Spanish paprika and garlic powder. Simmer over medium heat until spices are able to "mingle" as my grandma says.    While your sauce is cooking, grate your block of cheese.   Heat coconut oil in an omelet pan and when hot fry up your tortillas until they are cooked but still soft enough to bend.  I just had to practice with this.

It was slightly browning in some places.  Remove tortillas from the oil and place on a plate with paper towels to absorb extra oil.  Then when you are done take a tortilla and place in your baking pan.

Put two tablespoons of your sauce down the center 

add cheese

Roll up your tortillas and place in two rows with the seam of the tortilla facing down. 

 When you have finished and your pan is full, ladle more sauce over enchiladas and top with more grated cheese. 

Cook in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and it is hot all the way through.  

Serve with Spanish Rice and Refried Beans

Organic My Senorita's Purse - Our Version Of KHACHAPURI

This is a great way to use leftovers after you have made tacos or taco salad.  We had taco salad and so we had leftovers of ground beef, black beans, cheese and some jalapenos.  I made simple dough squares to put

Ingredients:

2 cups of organic flour

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

3 tsp dry yeast

1/4 pint or 2/3 cup of warmed organic milk

Free ranged soft butter

Filling:

 2 cups of ground beef drained well

1 cup of black beans drained well

 1 1/2 cups of organic cheese (I used cheddar and provolone, that is what I had. 

Glaze:

1 egg yolk

1 tbsp water

Directions:

Divide your dough into 5 pieces.  Make each piece a ball and put on a floured surface and roll out to a circle about the size of a small salad plate.  Put a dollop of the filling in the middle and bring all of your purses edges to the center and twist.  Place on your baking sheet and continue with the rest until you are done.  Then take your pastry brush and brush your glaze over the top.

Let the purses sit in a warm place to rise as you pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. (180 deg. C).

Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until they are lightly golden.

Remove from oven, let cool slightly a couple of minutes and serve warm.  This is wonderful with a bit of our fresh salsa on top as a garnish

Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe

This is our dressing for our friend Ms. Wilma.  

She requested a yummy poppy seed dressing like they used to make at her work.  Well, we played around and this is what we came up with.  We served it on a bed of Romaine and red leaf lettuce with tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage. I hope we captured what you were looking for Ms.Wilma, and I hope all of you try it out.  It is a good dressing that is sweet and a little tangy.  Mr. Cottage said he loved it and Grandma has been eating it every day.  We thinned it out a little the 2nd day by adding the extra water to it.  But it is up to you.    

Enjoy everyone!  I hope that you like it!!!
