Rolled Mushroom Taquitos With Roasted Tomatillo Cilantro Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with the jalapenos and onion wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and roast about 7 minutes. Turn the vegetables, add the garlic and roast until everything is slightly softened and charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Peel the garlic and remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos. Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until still slightly chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until incorporated. With the processor running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until the salsa is slightly runny but not smooth. At this point you can season with additional salt if desired.
• Serve with chips or as a salsa for tacos and burritos.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos, bell pepper, poblano and onion on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss everything to coat. Roast until the vegetables are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
• Remove the seeds from the peppers. Put all of the roasted vegetables and the cilantro into a food processor or blender. Process until still a bit chunky. Thin with some water if it is too thick. Stir in the lime zest and juice. Let cool completely.
• Use immediately or pour into freezer bags, label and freeze.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the asparagus, mushrooms and onions, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Wrap the tomatillos and chiles in aluminum foil and place over an open flame for about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a blender with the garlic clove and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp dishcloth and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
• Fill each tortilla with a little jack cheese and about 1 tablespoon asparagus filling. Fold in half like a taco.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pan-fry the folded quesadillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on paper towels to drain any oil.
• Serve each quesadilla with some goat cheese crumbled on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Wash, trim and finely chop the mushrooms. Saute them in butter for 3 or 4 mintues. Remove from heat, and blend in the flour. Stir in the cream, and return to medium heat, cooking until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in the chives and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and cool.
• Remove the crusts from the bread, and make each slice thin with a rolling pin. Spread each slice with some of the mushroom mixture; roll up and place on baking sheets, seam side down. Brush with additional melted butter.
• Pack and freeze, if desired, or refrigerate.
• To serve, defrost the rolls, if they have been frozen. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toast the rolls on all sides for about 15 minutes, until the rolls are golden. Cut in half and serve warm, not hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. If you wish to roast the chilies, place them on the baking sheet as well. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side (the chilies will be charred after a minute or two). Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat. If you have roasted the chilies, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop.
• Transfer the tomatillos and chilies to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil. Add the onion, cilantro and 1/4 cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the mushrooms, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cilantro, and season the mushroom filling to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the tortillas on a work surface and spread 2 tablespoons of the filling down the center. Roll them up like a soft taco (into a cylinder). Place a toothpick in the center and one at each end of each taquito to keep the filling from falling out. (These can be made 1 day ahead to this point. Transfer them to baking sheets, cover, and refrigerate.)
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and add enough vegetable oil to reach halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil to 350°F. Working in batches, fry the taquitos until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer them to paper towels to drain.
• Remove the toothpicks from the taquitos, and transfer the taquitos to a platter. Spoon the tomatillo-cilantro salsa down the center of each taquito, and serve.
