Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I made this standard enchilada casserole today. I think that I got the recipe from here. It is just a can of tomato sauce, can of corn, can of kidney beans, a couple of cups of salsa (I use homemade fresh salsa), some cumin, and you layer that with corn tortillas. Well, I had just bought fresh cumin and it has made the casserole so strong in cumin flavor and I don't like that. Can anyone think of anything that could counteract the strong flavor of the cumin. I was thinking that maybe I could duplicate the recipe without the cumin and try layering that in. Any other ideas? help! Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Fresh chopped cilantro would give it a fresh taste. Instead of cumin try some chili powder next time.steffdav46 <steffdav46 Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 6:21:45 PM Question about cumin I made this standard enchilada casserole today.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 i would make my enchilada casserole this way: in a square white ceramic casserole dish i place one tablespoon good extra virgin olive oil (I can hear the vegan complaints already) and layer a small pans' worth of sauteed yellow spanish onions and fresh sauteed spinach with 4 or 5 superthin slices of fresh garlic. roast three tomatoes in your oven on a tray (forget the canned tomato) (forget the acidic corn and forego the beans for now. ) add chili pepper, a 1/2 tsp of cumin, and i/2 tblsp celtic or french gray sea sat plus 3 grinds of fresh ground peppercorns and layer your whole wheat or spelt tortillas with flour but not corn if you can help it. (i know, they taste better but are more acidic)) layer and coat with sauce plus vege/cheese shreds and a can of small diced green chiles.(Ortega) cover all with a small can of enchilada sauce because it is seasoned just right, and add more " cheddar vegan shreds " .. Layers all and bake ummmm...good! cumin is subtle and healthy and will stain your hands or even your counter unless you treat it accordingly. too healthy to leave out. , " steffdav46 " <steffdav46 wrote: > > I made this standard enchilada casserole today.
