AMY'S CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE



Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce image

I just love the sound of the blend of garlic, cumin and lime with the cilantro in this Cilantro Cream Sauce recipe. When I came across it on the Allrecipes website and read some of the hundred or so rave reviews that had been written, I checked the Zaar recipes, which all sounded quite different again from this one and, I thought, well there are probably some other Zaar members who would also like to try this recipe. Being timid around spicy flavours, I'll be leaving those out - whereas some chefs will I know be increasing their heat - but the rest of the flavour combinations sound really tempting. I was also struck by the versatility offered by this recipe, something that is also true of the other Zaar recipes for Cilantro Sauce, some of which I've saved and will also be trying. I particularly liked the sound of Merlot's Hazelnut & Cilantro Pasta Sauce #31361. Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce can be used as a dip, as a sauce for grilled fish, chicken or steamed vegetables, as a salad dressing, folded through mashed potatoes or as a pasta sauce. Since I haven't yet made this, I've posted it exactly as I found it on the Allrecipes website. Thank you, Amy. Some reviewers had made it with low fat cheese and cream with excellent results, some added chopped green onions and some used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I'll be looking for an alternative to the tomatillo salsa. Any suggestions are most welcome. I've estimated the preparation time to be 5-10 minutes.

CREAMY TOMATILLO SAUCE



Creamy Tomatillo Sauce image

This is from Fine Cooking and I would give it a 5 star rating. The aromas are amazing while the tomatillos and other veggies are roasting. I used heavy cream instead of creme fraiche as I did not have any. The addition of heavy cream or crème fraîche qualifies enchiladas made with this sauce as enchiladas suizas (Swiss-style enchiladas).

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 45m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb tomatillo, husks and stems removed, rinsed
2 -3 serrano chilies, cored and seeded or 1 canned chipotle pepper, seeded
1/2 white onion, sliced each 1/4 inch thick
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream or 3/4 cup creme fraiche
3/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste

Steps:

  • Position a rack as close to the broiler as possible and heat the broiler. Arrange the tomatillos, fresh chiles (if using), onion slices, and garlic in a small, shallow baking pan. Broil, turning to ensure even cooking, until the tomatillos are soft and slightly blackened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the broiled ingredients to a blender and add the cilantro (if you're using a canned chipotle, add it now, too). Blend until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillo mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the broth and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Taste the sauce. It should be a little tart, but it shouldn't make your mouth pucker. If it's too tart, add more broth and simmer until the sauce thickens again. Remove from the heat and whisk in the crème fraîche or heavy cream and the salt. Let cool slightly before making the enchiladas.
  • Make Ahead Tips.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY TOMATILLO SAUCE



Chicken Enchiladas With Creamy Tomatillo Sauce image

This is from Fine Cooking. A very flavorful traditional Mexican dish. I served it with guacamole, Recipe #350647 and pico de gallo. I had leftover chicken from my freezer that I used and for the cheese, I used mozzarella and queso panela and I added a little mozzarella inside each enchilada. This is a great destination for leftover chicken or turkey. If you have some on hand, use it instead of the chicken thighs. If you can find Mexican cheese, try queso panela or queso añejo instead of the mozzarella and provolone.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb tomatillo, husks and stems removed, rinsed
2 -3 serrano chilies, cored and seeded or 1 canned chipotle pepper, seeded
1/2 white onion, sliced each 1/4 inch thick
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream or 3/4 cup creme fraiche
3/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste
1 lb chicken thigh, boneless, skinless (to yield about 2 cups shredded cooked meat)
salt
vegetable oil, as needed
12 corn tortillas, 6 inches in diameter
4 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
1 1/3 ounces grated provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Position a rack as close to the broiler as possible and heat the broiler. Arrange the tomatillos, fresh chiles (if using), onion slices, and garlic in a small, shallow baking pan. Broil, turning to ensure even cooking, until the tomatillos are soft and slightly blackened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the broiled ingredients to a blender and add the cilantro (if you're using a canned chipotle, add it now, too). Blend until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillo mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the broth and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Taste the sauce. It should be a little tart, but it shouldn't make your mouth pucker. If it's too tart, add more broth and simmer until the sauce thickens again. Remove from the heat and whisk in the crème fraîche or heavy cream and the salt. Let cool slightly before making the enchiladas.
  • Make Ahead Tips.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
  • Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the chicken thighs and a bit of salt; simmer until cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes. Cool the meat; shred (discarding any fat or gristle), season with salt, and set aside.
  • Fill a large skillet with enough oil to submerge a tortilla (between 1/4 and 1/2 inch). Warm the oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles immediately. Fry each tortilla briefly in the oil, about 10 seconds per side. Use a spatula rather than tongs to flip the tortillas, as they'll tear easily. The tortilla should stay soft; if it starts to harden, it has been in the oil too long. Drain on paper towels.
  • Heat the oven to 400°F With a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of sauce on both sides of each tortilla. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of shredded chicken just off center of each tortilla and roll into loose cylinders. Set the enchiladas side by side in a 9x13 inch baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over them, top with the cheeses, and bake until bublling and browned in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.

Chuy's Deluxe Tomatillo Sauce image

I love Chuy's restaurant, and everything I order, burritos, enchiladas, or chili rellenos, I order with this sauce! I've even covered cheap, frozen burritos with it, and made them (almost) good! This is a copycat recipe, that's really close! Enjoy!
