Cheese and Spinach Enchilada

2 oz Butter
2 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
4 C Spinach (chiffonade)
2 oz White Wine
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black Pepper
6 Soft Flour Tortillas Shells
20 oz Enchilada Sauce (previous recipe)
10 oz Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
10 oz Cheddar Cheese (shredded)

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized sauté pan, over medium-high heat, melt butter and add garlic. Sauté for 30 to 45 second then add spinach and sauté. Deglaze with white wine and add salt and pepper. Sauté for about 10 to 15 seconds, just enough to coat the spinach with the wine and garlic mixture. Strain immediately and set aside. Warm tortilla shells in the oven for about 1 minute. Remove shells and mix both cheeses together in a separate bowl. Spread about 1 oz of the mixed cheeses on each tortilla shell. Cover cheese with about 1½ oz of enchilada sauce. Spread spinach over sauce and roll the tortilla shells. Arrange enchiladas in a large baking dish and pour remaining sauce evenly over enchiladas. Top with cheese.
Bake enchiladas in preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted nicely over the enchiladas.
Remove from oven and serve.

Equipment Used in the Kitchen Peelers The peeler is a very indispensable kitchen tool with a slotted blade, designed for removing a thin layer from various fruits and vegetables. There are two main types of peelers, the Y-shaped peeler and the straight peeler. There is also the mechanical peeler, but it is not often used in the household nor the restaurant industry.

Cooking Tools for a Chef

The tools of a Chef and/or cook are very important. The tools you use will make or break the job you are given to do, which is feed people. Chefs and cooks use different types of tools, but I can just about guarantee one thing they all have in common, a hotpad (a thick towel for grabbing hot pots and pans), a knife of some sort and a pair of tongs. Those are the basic tools needed to create a great meal. The knives that you use in the kitchen is very important, kind of like your best friend. I believe that if you take very good care of your knife, he/she (whichever you should call your knife) will take good care of you. She won't hurt you or let you look bad unless you hurt or make her look bad, like a relationship. But you have to make sure you use the right knife for the right job.
