04-21 Yummy Fried Rice

Nooooo, not that stuff they put on your plate at the Chinese fast food places. This is actually worth eating! A very flexible recipe, you can use meat or skip it and make it with any combination of vegetables you are in the mood for or need to use up. 

 Saute 2 T sesame oil 
2 c chicken, tempeh or tofu, cubed ... or pork or beef or shrimp 
salt & pepper 

Set aside 

 Scramble 4 eggs, beaten
1 t soy sauce 
1 t agave or brown sugar 
pinch of salt 
Cut into slices 

 Saute 1 1/3 c in total of any combo of vegetables. Cook hard veg first, then add in softer veg: 
onion, chopped or thinly sliced 
cubed carrots, 
colored bell peppers, 
snow peas or petite peas, 
(Consider bamboo, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, etc.) 

Season with: 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 t ginger 
2-4 T soy sauce, to taste 

Add in: 4 c cooked rice brown and/or white 

And the eggs and meat if using 
Stir all together and serve immediately. 
At this point you can add more soy sauce to taste or add any Asian sauce you like if you want more or different flavors.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
