Dear flist,

As part of my 101 Things in 1001 Days project, I am trying to broaden my cooking horizons. So for the next three months, the plan is to cook a "new" and "exotic" dish every week.

I could always go hunt down recipes on the internet, but I find that my experience is always best when I get recommendations from my friends.

So, dear flist, do you have any fun/new/exciting recipes that I could try? My regular culinary experience is North American/French Canadian, with occasional forays into cooking with curry and various stir-fries. What can you suggest that will make me break out of my culinary rut? (Dish names are good, and bonus points if you can provide the actual recipe)

Remind me, are you vegetarian? (Note how I am IGNORING [livejournal.com profile] fearsclave...

If not, you definitely need some chicken enchiladas in your repertoire! (Can you get tortillas there?)

I am not vegetarian and I can indeed get tortillas! Sounds very exciting! :D

Hooray!

Here's a recipe:

If you cannot buy prepared green salsa there, let me know, I'll find a different recipe -- it gets harder if you cannot use prepped sauce :) Or, I could send you a jar.

Hee! Reminds me of going to see my friend Anne in Toronto many years ago, she wanted some file gumbo, which is basically ground up sassafras leaves, and looks like a green leafy powder. I was pretty nervous bringing that thru customs :)

You know, I don't even know if I can. I will take a look around and let you know.

What's the alternative if I can't find any?

Making it yourself, which is WAY too much trouble :)
See? http://giverslog.com/?p=1265

Let me know, I'll send you some. Customs be damned!
