Woodinville Patch Reader Gets Recipe Featured in National Cooking Post
PatchCooks is a new nationally crowd-sourced feature that gathers favorite recipes from Patch readers coast to coast each week on a particular theme.
We recently asked Patch readers for their best, simplest, most go-to weeknight recipes and John S. Snow of Woodinville shared a winner!
"We like to make a simple, fast dinner that my late Mexican mother-in-law used to make. It only takes one "esoteric" ingredient, but if you make authentic Mexican food, you already have some mole in your fridge."
Ingredients:
Mole to taste
We use 1-2 tablespoons for two servings
Oil for sauteing
Onion
Yellow is my favorite, we use one medium onion for two people
Squash
We usually use zucchini, but yellow, crook-neck, summer or even
broccoli work equally well. We use one medium zucchini
for two people.
Eggs
Figure one or two eggs per person
Tortillas
I usually make my own corn tortillas,
but it is much easier to buy some ahead of time
Preparation:
Put the mole in a pan along with the oil. Turn the pan up to medium heat. While the pan is heating, chop up the mole into the oil so it is well-mixed into the oil.
When the pan is hot add the vegetables and saute for a few minutes until the onions are getting translucent and the squash is softening a bit. Mix well during sauteing.
Add the eggs and mix them with the vegetables as they cook. Once the eggs are cooked, serve them with heated tortillas. Condiments such as hot sauce, cheese, and salsa are wonderful with this dish.
Next week's theme: Let's make cooking even easier by...letting someone else do the work. What are the local restaurants your family cannot live without?
