Recipe for the week of October 7, 2009:
Penne Grande (Fancy TacoTime)
by Erik of Fancy Fast Food, with support from Sean Keaner of BootsnAll.com
Ingredients:
- 1 dozen (or more) Original Crisp Burritos (with chicken)
- 1 Casita Burrito
- packets of various TacoTime hot sauces
- organic parsley (for garnish and a touch of irony)
So as long as this blog changes the perception of fast food, we might as well play with the perception of scale (at least this time around, since we’ve misjudged the actual size of TacoTime’s Original Crisp Burritos).
First, diagonally cut each of the Crisp Burritos on both ends, so it resembles the shape of piece of penne pasta. Then, using a chopstick, empty out the chicken filling, saving it for the sauce. Repeat for each of the burritos until all of your “penne grande” is hollowed out. Place the big faux pasta on a big fancy white platter.
Empty the packets of hot sauce — more red ones than green — into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Afterwards, add some of the chicken filling, tomatoes and sour cream from the Casita Burrito. Stir together under a low heat.
Finally, the assembly: spoon the sauce over the penne grande, and then garnish with a big piece of ironic parsley. (When you take a photo, it almost looks like normal-sized pasta, until you put a fork in the picture.) Presto! A dish that makes you wonder: with penne this big, how come they don’t have TacoTimes in Texas?
