- Preheat oven to 375°F. With machine running, add garlic and jalapeño through feed tube of processor and process until finely chopped. Add cilantro, green onions, and drained green chiles. Using on/off turns, process until coarse puree forms. Add salsa; process to blend. Transfer salsa mixture to large deep skillet. Add 1/4 cup crema and stir over medium-low heat just until warm (do not allow to boil). Remove from heat. Season salsa mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Measure 1 cup roasted vegetables; set aside. Transfer remaining vegetables to processor. Using on/off turns, process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to large bowl. Add shrimp and toss to incorporate evenly. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.

Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and filling. Scatter reserved 1 cup roasted vegetables over enchiladas. Spoon remaining salsa mixture over.

BURNISHED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES, PARSNIPS & SHALLOTS
Steps:
- Stir together the oil, mustard, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for atleast 1 hr and up to 8 hrs. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the chicken skin side up on one end of a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with any remaining marinade. At the other end of the baking sheet, toss together the sweet potato, parsnips, shallots, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables lightly with a little more salt and roast for 20 minutes. Baste the chicken with the pan juices using a brush and stir the vegetables. Continue to roast, basting and stirring every 10 minutes, until the chicken is burnished-deeply browned-and the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Meanwhile, cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until crisp, 5-8 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels. When the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it and toss with the parsley. When the chicken is done, stir the vegetables and transfer them to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Toss with half of the bacon mixture. Baste the chicken and transfer with tongs to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon mixture, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose firm and brightly colored parsnips and sweet potatoes. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Peel the vegetables before roasting. This will help them cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform-sized pieces. This will help them roast evenly.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
