Once upon time there was a conference that Peace Corps Volunteers had to attend. It was seven days long and there were so many new and interesting ideas presented. And there was scrumptious, well-cooked food and air conditioning in every room. However, before the conference there was a kitchen conundrum that needed to be cleared up: what to do with the perishables in the fridge? Here’s the solution.
Cooked Beans
Rice
¾ of an apple, diced
1½ onions, diced
4 cloves of garlic
1 sweet pepper (bell)
Basil
Oregano
Spike
Salt
Pepper
Sauté (with oil or butter) the prepped apples, onions, garlic, and sweet pepper in a Kaharee
Season with a little Spike (cheating, I know, but so good you should be able to get it at many supermarkets in the States)
Toss in some basil and oregano (maybe some broad leaf thyme if you had any)
Pinch in Salt and Black pepper.
Stir it all around, coating all the food with seasoning.
Stir in rice and beans coating the rice with the seasoning, spreading the peppers, apples, onions, and garlic throughout.
Taste. Is it good? You’re done. If not add more spices until it’s “how you like it.” (Didn’t Shakespeare write that one? “To eat or not to eat, never shalt one let food go to waste.”…)
IS that Apple and Onion...hmmm interesting...but soooo good.
