STUFFED QUESADILLAS

STUFFED  QUESADILLAS:

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup mincd onion
450 g cooking greens, such as mustard and collards, rinsed
Salt, to taste
Crushed red chillies, to taste
2 tsp minced garlic
1 cup feta cheese, diced
150 g mozzarella, diced
12 corn tortillas
Oil, for cooking

How to prepare the filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add onion and saute for 3-5 minutes. Add the  greens along with any water that clings to the leaves. Season with salt, red pepper and garlic and let it cool. Stir frequently. Cook until the greens are tender,  for 15 minutes. Add diced feta and set aside.

METHOD:
  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a griddle, greasing the griddle evenly. Add tortillas and cook on one side until they have softened.
  • Flip them to the other side and spoon 2-3 tbsp filling in the centre. Add mozzarella and use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half  around the filling. 
  • Cook until the tortilla begins to brown on one side, 2-3 minutes, and then flip onto the other side and cook until the tortilla browns on that side and the mozzarella is melted, about 2-3 minutes more.
  • Repeat if necessary to use up all of the tortillas and filling. Keep warm in a 250c oven until all the quesadillas have been made. Serve immediately.
NOTES  -- ( serves 4-6 )
