Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, and paprika and stir until well-coated.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
  4. Place the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo or wooden skewers, then set them over the prepared baking pan, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
  5. Make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, chili powder, and garam masala and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Pour in the cream.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skewers and add to the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or alongside naan bread.
  7. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Original Recipes:  https://tasty.co/recipe/homemade-chicken-tikka-masala

The comments for the original recipe were that the wooden skewers should be soaked to prevent burning, and that there should be more spice.  Since nothing is really spicy that I know of, I increased the seasonings by 50%.

Also, these can be air fried at 350F for 20 minutes, very tender and juicy, but didn't have the charred corners.  And we think maybe our oven runs a bit hot, so do please beginning checking after the first 15 minutes and adjust as needed.

Instructions
  1. In a medium size mixing bowl, add shredded beef and diced onions, mix well and set aside.
  2. In a medium size sauce pan, add the oil, flour, and chili powder. Turn to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.
  3. Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to boil for one minute, then whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmering boil it will begin to thicken slightly after about 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Add salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, mix to combine and then add about 1/4 cup of sauce to the shredded beef mixture and stir to combine. Set aside remaining sauce for enchiladas.
  5. In a small size skillet, add oil to medium-high heat. Gently add one tortilla at a time and fry to a semi soft stage. Dab each tortilla with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. As each tortilla is fried and dabbed with paper towels, stack them to keep them soft for rolling.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
  8. Lay (one at a time) fried tortilla on a flat surface, add about 2 tablespoons shredded beef mixture to the middle of the fried tortilla and top with about 1 teaspoon shredded cheese.
  9. Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking dish (seam side down). Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. (For best results, line the enchiladas into two rows of 6).
  10. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas, and then add remaining shredded cheese evenly to the top of the sauce and top with the sliced olives.
  11. Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. Serve with sour cream, optional.
Recipe Notes

Original Recipes:  https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/authentic-beef-enchiladas-523462

This was oddly bland.  Tasted a lot like onion, but that was actually about it.  I'm thinking less onion and need to infuse more chili flavor into the meat.  The shredded beef itself turned out pretty good (see Mexican Shredded Beef recipe), but all together it was just lacking.  That being said, it was fairly easy, and I think it's a good place to start, or if you aren't into or can't eat heavily spiced food it's good as is.  I'll be working on this again, I think.  (3.25.19)

Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the filling.
  2. To make the pastry, put the flour in a large bowl, then put the lard and water into a small pan and heat gently until the lard melts. Bring just to the boil and then stir into the flour using a wooden spoon. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, (it should still feel very warm) knead well until smooth.
  3. Cut off 1/4 of the dough, wrap in cling film and reserve for the lid. Roll out the remaining dough to a circle and then place in the base of a non-stick 20cm springform cake tin. Working quickly while the dough is warm and pliable, press the dough evenly over the base and up the sides of the tin. Make sure there are no holes. Fill with the meat mixture and pack down well. Roll out the dough for the lid. Place on top of the pie. Pinch all around the edge to seal the pie. Make a hole for steam in the centre, using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  4. Cook in the oven for 30 mins then reduce the heat to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and cook for 90 minutes. Brush the top with beaten egg and return to the oven for a further 20 mins. Leave until cold.
  5. Heat the stock until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Leave to cool to room temperature.
  6. Use a small funnel to pour the stock into the pie through the hole in the top. Pour in a little at a time allowing a few seconds before each addition. Place in the fridge to set overnight.

  2. Frosting: Put all ingredients saucepan and bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Pour over cake in pan; leave in pan until completely cool, then turn upside down on cake plate.
Recipe Notes

This can also be made as a chocolate rum cake simply by swapping the yellow cake mix with chocolate cake mix, and the vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding. Get the driest possible cake mix, again, so that the syrup will soak in. (I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to for birthdays! (6.25.20))

If you can't find a super dry generic cake mix, try changing the syrup ingredients to 1/4 C each of water and rum.  (I haven't tried this yet - I found a great dry mix, for the yellow cake at least. (6.25.20))

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Coat the bottom of a 13" x 9" baking dish with non-stick spray, then spread ~1/c of one can of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  3. Brown turkey, drain. Drain beans. Add beans, taco seasoning, and water to turkey. Bring to boil, simmer 20 minutes or until most of the water has boiled out.
  4. Heat tortillas until soft - I steamed mine (thank you, baby!). Spread ~30g cheese in a line through the middle of the tortilla, leaving ~1/4" on each end of the tortilla free of cheese. Spread 1/5 of the meat & bean mixture over the line of cheese. Fold the ends in, then fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold that end up so that the seam of the tortilla is down. Place burrito seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Repeat for all 4 burritos. Spread the other 1/2 can of enchilada sauce over the burritos, then spread the remaining meat & bean mixture over the top. Spread the remaining cheese over the top, then pour the other can of enchilada sauce over the top.
  6. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted and possibly browning, depending on your personal taste.

Instructions
  1. Put the pork tenderloin in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  2. Pour in water, bouillon, and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Sprinkle mixture over pork.
  4. Cover slow cooker and cook on Low for 3 1/2 hours. {If possible, flip pork over after 2 1/2 hours.}
  5. Place pork in separate container, cover tightly to keep warm.
  6. Place a small amount of the liquid in a small container with a lid, pour the rest in a saucepan.
  7. Mix the flour with the liquid in the small container and shake until well mixed. Add to saucepan and stir while heating, being sure to mix well and breaking up any lumps. Heat until thickened to your liking, stirring constantly.
  8. Or, if you're brave, you can add all of the liquid to the pan, and add the flour gradually and directly to it, whisking vigorously and constantly while heating to ensure flour is evenly distributed.
  9. Add the roast back to the gravy.
  10. Serve pork with the gravy - especially good over smashed potatoes.
Recipe Notes

Should be 140-165F internal temperature.
