With so many of these cards, I do a little internet search as to whether or not the dish exists somewhere outside of the culinary world that is Dinner Is Served.
A quick google of “Florentine Meat Foldovers” returns with Steak Florentine, Florentine Spaghetti Bake, and Beef Wellington (!?!?)
Aside from the Wellington, I assume that what makes this Florentine is the spinach.
At least that’s what made the pork chops in card no. 15 “Florentine.”
See: spinach.
BTW, that post contains a doozy of a dating tale. Funny to think that I haven’t written a dating post for over 5 years. I sometimes miss those posts, because I think it was some of my best writing.
But just thinking about the horrifying, land-mine ridden hellscape of online dating is enough to make me want to jump off of a bridge.
But back to the meat.
I think I made this back in March. I took notes!
Let’s see if I can do this in an hour!
6:30 Cook frozen spinach as I chop garlic and onion
6:34 Meat is browning
6:35 combining the spaghetti mix and the tomato
6:40 Shred the mozz while the meat is cooking
6:45 add spinach, salt and pepper to meat
6:47 microwave the tortillas to soften them
6:50 assembly of foldovers
6:57 foldovers into oven for 30 minutes
INTERMISSION!
7:28 foldovers resting while I microwave the fiesta corn and saute some padron peppers.
7:38 photo is done. Dinner is Served!
AND! I did it in 1 hour 10! I think that if I didn’t have to go about taking pictures that I would have definitely hit the one hour mark.
With the Italian sausage and the tortillas, they were kind of an enchilada/spinach lasagna hybrid.
So, that means they weren’t bad.
wonder if some latina mom made this to get the ninos to eat more spinach lol
I refuse to date. It is awful and I don’t wanna.
I’d eat this though.
Italian enchiladas! Who knew that DiS was on the cutting edge of “fusion cuisine!”
My thoughts exactly! This menu (as vibrant, modern version) would have seemed tex-mex-exotic to me as an east coast kid, circa 73’.
I accidentally read this as “tex-mex-erotic”. I think we can all safely assume, it would be… both!!
HA!
Did you use flour tortillas? I’m wondering if the overall taste would be affected if instead you used corn tortillas that had been “fried” in oil for a minute or two. Overall, this actually looks kind of tempting, and your photos are excellent, as always!
