The ladies fellowship from our church in Hometown did the Apples of Gold bible study, which I attended several years ago. The whole study is based on Titus 2 where Paul encourages the older generations teaching the younger generations to lead godly lives. Part of the study was a cooking portion and the older women taught the younger women of the group about cooking and opening your home to others. Our study did not follow all of the recipes of the book, as our church paid for the ministry for all of those who attended, so a conscientious effort was made to keep costs down. This was one of the recipes that was prepared for us--and I have made it again and again. It's that good.
But really, do I share any recipes that are just plain terrible?
No--but that's just my opinion. Of course, this does take a little extra time, but it is well worth it, and probably much more cost effective--and I can pronounce all the ingredients too. And that's always nice. :)
Homemade Enchilada Sauce
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, minced (about 1 cup)
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar (I never include it and it still tastes great!)
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes (drained)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 8 oz can Mexican style tomato sauce (a lot of times I don't have this, so I use a 14 1/2 oz. can of tomato sauce and add some canned chilies)
Heat oil in sauce pan over medium high heat until hot (not smoking), about 2 minutes. Add onion and cook stirring occassionally until softened and beginning to brown (about 5 minutes). Add garlic, chili powder, coriander, cumin, salt, and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir to mix and then put in a food processor to puree.
Pour a little of the sauce on the bottom of your baking dish before adding enchiladas. Place enchiladas in dish and pour the rest of the sauce on top. Top with cheese and heat through in oven.
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing @ TMTT!
Thanks for this! We are trying to stay away from soy at our house, and I was discouraged this morning at the grocery when I discovered that canned sauce has soy in it. I am so glad for an alternative.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog header. I am not techno clever enough yet to figure out how to do that, but it is on my summer to-do list.
I think my stomach just growled!! Thanks for sharing.
