Dungeness Crab Enchiladas

November 30, 2021 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Rich, buttery and totally indulgent Dungeness Crab Enchiladas with creamy Monterrey Jack cheese and tangy salsa verde.

Rich, creamy Dungeness Crab Enchiladas

Dungeness crab is my favorite Pacific Northwest food. It’s rich, buttery and a little bit sweet. I grew up crabbing and fishing in the Puget Sound off the coast of Western Washington. It was a way of life for my dad who would take us out for week long boating adventures. Many are the days that I spent cracking crab.

This recipe comes together quickly and highlights fresh Dungeness crab. I like making individual servings, but you can make a large batch in a casserole dish. It’s as easy as filling a tortilla with crab meat and cheese, rolling it up and placing in the cooking dish with sauce.

Homemade or Store Bought

When there’s no time for homemade, I reach for store bought green enchilada sauce to prepare my enchiladas. But…if you do have time, you will love how easy my green enchilada sauce is. Just roast a few tomatillos, onion, jalapeno and garlic on a sheet pan, blend with cream and a pinch of sugar, then thin with chicken broth or water. That’s it. Freeze your leftovers in a Ziplock for later. This sauce can double as a salsa, just don’t add chicken broth or water.

Ingredients in Dungeness Crab Enchiladas

  • Dungeness Crab – You want the real deal for these enchiladas. Costco has fresh cracked Dungeness crab.
  • Corn Tortillas – Medium size corn tortillas.
  • Monterey Jack Cheese -Monterey Jack cheese is a good choice or use Farm Style Mexican Blend shredded cheese.
  • Green Enchilada Sauce – Homemade, see recipe, or store bought is fine.
  • Cilantro – Fresh cilantro lightens up these rich enchiladas.
  • Lime – Fresh limes to squeeze on before eating.

Chorizo-Corn Empanadas

September 14, 2021 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Chorizo-Corn Empanadas are savory hand pies made with a masa harina flour blend and filled with cheese, spicy ground chorizo and sweet corn.

The melty Monterrey Jack cheese pull makes these flavorful empanadas fun to eat. You get the earthy spice of the chorizo, the sweet burst of fresh corn and creamy cheese all packed into a fluffy corn crust. These festive hand held pies are the perfect size for dipping into a creamy cilantro lime sauce.

Let’s talk about chorizo. There are many different kinds of chorizo. This recipe calls for chorizo that has the appearance of the ground beef you would find in the meat department of your grocery store. It’s flavored with a variety of Mexican spices like chilies, oregano, cumin and garlic. My favorite is made by a local company called Hempler’s and can be found at most local grocery stores.

Before I knew much about chorizo, I tried using the kind that comes in a tube. It’s what I thought chorizo was, boy was I wrong. It’s very different from the fresh ground chorizo. After placing the tube contents in my sauté pan, there was not much substance left at all, just a lot of grease. This kind of chorizo will not work in this recipe.

Ingredients in Chorizo-Corn Empanadas

  • Chorizo – Hempler’s Chorizo is my favorite, please don’t buy the greasy chorizo in a tube.
  • Corn – Fresh corn cut off the cob.
  • Cheese – Creamy, Monterrey Jack cheese is perfect for that must have cheese pull.
  • Masa Harina – Masa Harina is similar to corn meal, but finer in texture, providing a fluffy corn crust.
  • Onion – Sweet, yellow onion, like Walla Walla or Vidalia.
  • Lard – I save my bacon grease and use that or you can buy lard at the grocery in the Mexican aisle.
  • Eggs – Always use farm fresh if you can.
  • Pantry Items – Flour, I prefer unbleached, sugar and salt.

Cilantro Lime Crema

These savory empanadas taste delicious when dipped in Cilantro Lime Crema. It’s an easy 3 ingredient sauce that pairs perfectly with the spicy chorizo filling. Mexican crema can be found in most grocery stores and is a little sweeter than sour cream. If you can’t find Mexican crema, just use sour cream.

Ingredients
  

Empanada Dough

  • 4 cups flour unbleached
  • 1 1/2 cup masa corn flour – masa harina
  • 4 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp. lard or leftover bacon grease

Empanada Filling

  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 16 oz. chorizo ground
  • 4 ears corn cut off the cob
  • 8 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese grated

Cilantro Lime Crema

  • 1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1 lime juiced and zested
  • 1/4 cup cilantro minced

Other

  • avocado oil for frying

Instructions
 

Empanada Dough

  • Combine flour, masa harina, sugar and salt in your stand mixing bowl, add eggs and lard, mix on medium until soft dough forms.
  • Remove dough to a floured surface and form into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate while you make the filling.

Empanada Filling

  • Sauté onion in a pan over medium high heat until just softened. Push onion out to side of pan and add ground chorizo. Cook chorizo until browned.
  • Add corn to chorizo mixture and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Forming the Empanadas

  • Remove empanada dough from the refrigerator. Roll out on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a small bowl or plate that's about 5 inches in diameter, press down on dough to create small circles. You should get about 10 circles. It's a soft, sticky dough, make sure you have flour on hand.
  • Place a small mound of filling, about a heaping tbsp. plus more if needed and about one tbsp. of cheese in the middle of one half of the circle, leaving room around the edges.
  • Fold dough circle in half, pressing around the edges to seal. Use fork tines on edges to crimp it sealed. Repeat with remaining ingredients. You may have some filling mixture left over, which you can use to serve along side or save for another use.
  • Fill a deep, wide edged frying pan with avocado oil or other high heat oil about 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep and heat at medium high. Test oil temperature by dropping a small piece of leftover dough in and seeing if it sizzles. Fry empanadas, two at a time, flipping once until golden brown on each side. Remove to a wire rack and season with salt.
  • Empanadas can be eaten right away or let cool and place in freezer bags for re-heating later. They re-heat very well in an air fryer.

Cilantro Lime Crema

  • Combine all ingredients together. Serve along side empanadas.

Mexican Crab Cakes with Serrano Cream

September 7, 2021 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Mexican Crab Cakes with Serrano Cream use rich, buttery, Dungeness crab and just enough Panko with a creamy serrano cilantro lime sauce.

Crab cakes are so versatile. Pairing crab with end of summer vegetables like corn and zucchini makes for a seasonal favorite. I tend to pick up on the Mexican inspired flavor with almost every dish I make. I like the bright, colorful ingredients and love the spice.

This recipe calls for Dungeness crab, local to the Pacific Northwest. It’s a rich, buttery, dense meat. I have been known to eat an entire bowl of shelled Dungeness crab all to myself. It’s memories for me. We would spend the weekends crabbing and fishing in the San Juan Islands. Bringing home our catch, there were crab to shell and fish to fillet. My love for seafood started young and continues into my passion for cooking and sharing recipes with you.

Ingredients in Mexican Crab Cakes with Serrano Cream

  • Dungeness Crab – Rich, buttery crab shelled and all juices gently squeezed out.
  • Corn on the Cob – Yellow for color, cut off the cob.
  • Zucchini – Small fresh zucchini.
  • Panko Bread Crumbs – Plain Panko bread crumbs are light and crispy.
  • Red Bell Pepper – Adds that little bit of texture and color.
  • Celery – Fine diced celery adds a fresh flavor.
  • Green Onion – a.k.a. scallions
  • Garlic – I keep a bottle of minced garlic in my refrigerator.
  • Serrano Pepper – Serrano has a similar heat to jalapeno, but more flavor.
  • Sour Cream – Either sour cream or Mexican Crema would work.
  • Cilantro – Fresh cilantro.
  • Lime – Fresh squeezable lime.
  • Avocado – Just ripe and ready to slice.
  • Spices – Chipotle powder, salt and pepper
  • Pantry Items – Agave nectar, mayonnaise, avocado oil

  • 1/2 lb. Dungeness lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp green onion minced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1/8 cup celery minced

Instructions
 

Crab Cakes

  • Gather lump crab meat in a paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Place lump crab meat in a mixing bowl with mayonnaise, Panko bread crumbs and green onion.

  • When ready to cook, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove crab cakes from refrigerator and let rest while you heat your sauté pan to medium high. Add avocado oil to pan and let warm.

Remove from sauté pan, place on sheet pan and bake in oven for about 5 minutes while you make serrano cream and garnish.

Serrano Cream

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Garnish

  • Sauté zucchini and corn in avocado oil a small pan over medium high heat for about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, season with salt, pepper and chipotle powder. Toss in cilantro.
  • Plate crab cakes over a spoonful of Serrano Cream with garnish of zucchini and corn on top. Place sliced avocado on top of that.

Roasted Salsa Verde

August 27, 2021 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Roasted Salsa Verde takes charred tomatillos to create a smoky green sauce that’s the base to many Mexican dishes.

This versatile salsa can be eaten as is with your favorite tortilla chips or transformed into many other dishes. It’s the base for my favorite type of enchiladas, Enchiladas Suizas. Where it’s combined with cream to make a creamy delicious sauce perfect for coating stuffed corn tortillas. Adding chicken broth and a splash of cream, makes the base for my Pan Seared Cod in Tomatillo Broth. The possibilities are endless. All you need is a sheet pan, a few tomatillos, jalapenos, serranos, onion, cilantro and lime, all roasted, blended up and finished in the sauce pan.

Ingredients in Roasted Salsa Verde

  • Tomatillos – Mexican husk tomato, remove outer husk before roasting.
  • Onion – Sweet yellow onion, best you can find, like Walla Walla or Vidalia.
  • Jalapeno Pepper – Remove the seeds if you like it mild.
  • Serrano Pepper – Added for the depth of flavor, also remove seeds if you like mild.
  • Cilantro – Fresh cilantro.
  • Garlic – Either pre-minced or whole garlic smashed or rough chopped.
  • Lime Juice – If canning, use bottled lime juice otherwise fresh is best.
  • Pantry Items – Salt, pepper and mild cooking oil.

Canning Instructions

You can save this salsa and enjoy it all year long. This recipe is perfect for canning and only needs one small adjustment. If you plan on making a large batch of this Roasted Salsa Verde, just follow these easy steps:

  1. Make recipe according to direction EXCEPT you want to OMIT the lime from the blender process.
  2. Instead, place exactly 1 tablespoon of bottled lime juice in each 1 pint jar. This is the correct, safe ratio per pint to ensure canning safety. There must be the right amount of acid in each jar.
  3. Once you have roasted, blended and finished in the sauce pan, pour into pint jars. Add the lime juice as described above, to each pint jar and stir well. Seal and tighten each lid. Note: you always want to use new seals/lids each time you can to ensure the correct seal.
  4. Now it’s time to place in your water bath. I use a big metal canning pot with a rack at the bottom. Fill to about 3/4 way to the top with water and bring to a low boil, high simmer. When ready, place jars, using canning tongs, into water and simmer for 12 minutes. Water must completely cover the jars.
  5. After they have simmered for 12 minutes, remove from canning pot and set on counter until you hear the ‘pop’ of the seal, meaning it worked!
  6. Store in a dark pantry for up to a year.

Grilled Bavette Steak with Smoked Paprika Sauce

August 9, 2021 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Grilled Bavette Steak with Smoked Paprika Sauce has a spicy seasoned crust and a juicy tender inside with fresh tomato radish salad.

The smoked paprika sauce is very simple to make and can be finished in just a few minutes.  Making this an easy weeknight meal that doesn’t require much effort. It’s smooth, earthy spice pairs well with the grilled bavette steak and bright, fresh tomato radish salad. It’s a beautiful dish to serve on a platter, with the meat cut diagonal across the grain and the radish tomato salad cascading over the top.

If the term bavette steak doesn’t sound familiar, you may recognize it as a flap steak.  It’s similar to flank steak, but meatier in texture. It seems to have slightly more fat than flank steak.
