GARBAGE – A RECIPE
I’ve come to the conclusion it’s time to lighten up. Every blog does not have to be of the deep thinking variety. Accordingly, this week I’ll leave off from rattling on about the world’s problems or the nature of mankind and succumb to my love of cooking.
You won’t find this recipe in any cookbook – I dreamed it up. I own a patent on it! But I’m willing to share it with you.
GARBAGE – A RECIPE
Not the stuff you throw into the dumpster, the waste basket – this garbage you eat. If you’re anything at all like my family you eat gobs of it every chance you get. On a 1 – 10 rating scale it registers:
Easy 10
Tasty 8-10 depending on what you put into it – spice it up to your taste
Time 5-10 depending on whether you buy veggies already cut up from a salad bar or cut your own
Cost 10 – cheap
Appearance – 5-10 depends on color of veggies
Nutrition – 7-9 – depends on veggies, amount of salt, butter or margarine
You will need:
1 stick butter or margarine 1 package of fine noodles
about 1 C of prepared rice about 2 C of beef stock
about 3-4 C of finely diced assorted vegetables, including green onions with tops (do not make mush of them in a food processor)
salt and pepper
Melt the margarine/butter and saute the veggies about 5 minute. Remove from pan.
Dump in the noodles, stir often until noodles have browned slightly.
Add the rice and the veggies
Pour the beef stock over the whole mess – just enough to cover – season with salt and pepper, stir, cover and simmer about 10 minutes.
An excellent side dish to any chicken, beef, pork, veal entrée.
Try it – you’ll like it.
