Lovely Leftovers - Chilaquiles Since Thanksgiving I've made tukey chilaquiles, which begat sopa de tortilla with turkey, and also breakfast for the week with a pecan sweet potato cranberry quick bread. I love chilaquiles. Primavera, at the Saturday market makes a remarkable version. In California, the Southwest and all throughout Mexico and down into Guatemala chilaquiles, pronounced "chee-lah-KEE-lehs" is a practical and tasty way to extend the life of stale corn tortillas and now turkey. Editor's Note: This is my entry for Slashfood's Lovely Leftovers event. Tagged with Recipes, Lovely Leftovers Simple Turkey Chilaquiles (adapted from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen) Serves 4 Combine in a large skillet a full recipe of the sauce (below) with 2 cups of broth and about 1 1/2 cups shredded leftover turkey. Turkey should be warm before beginning next step. Add 8 cups (8oz.) of tortilla chips (preferably thick ones), a handful of epazote leaves (can sub with 1 cup or 2 sliced chard or spinach). Cover and simmer over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until the chips are softening. Uncover, stir well--you don't want mushy chips. Spoon onto plates and sprinkle generously with crumbled Mexican either queso añejo, cotija or Parmesan. Salsa de Chile Chipotle y Jitomate - Essential Quick - Cooked Tomato-Chipotle Sauce Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen Makes 2 cups 3-4 canned chiles chipotles en adobo 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled 1 1/2 pounds (3 medium-large round or 9 to 12 plum) ripe tomatoes 1 tblspn rich -tasting lard, olive or vegetable oil Salt, about 1/2 tsp Instructions:...

Cook the Cover- I'm a Finalist!! Well, color me black and tan! I'm one of three finalists for this month's Cook the Cover competition at Gourmet Magazine! I know can you believe it? I can't, really I can't. It's brilliant. Some of you will remember this as my entry into this year's IMBB/Cookie Swap. On a complete whim I decided to enter them into the publication's monthly reader event. I was certain that my entry would be one of hundreds if not thousands of possible entries. So here's what I'd like to ask--because although right now as of 7amPST I am in first place with 40% of the voting. However we all know one should never rest until the work is done. After all the Linzers are right on my tail. I need your support through a daily vote! Simply vote by going to here and click on the text next to the big photo that reads--"We've chosen our December finalists." Click the the first entry to activate your vote for my recipe entitled "Black and Tan." The winner's recipe will be published in a future issue. There's also an all expense paid trip to the Gourmet Institute in New York City. Do I get to meet Ruth? Do I?! Ohmigawd. Ohmigawd. Breathe. Breathe. Please vote daily! THANKS! Winner is announced on January 18--my parent's 42nd wedding anniversary.
