okay, I'm tired of boring field meals, so I worked up these two recipes. The first one... Turnips and Mushrooms" is from PBS, recipe here. The second one "Peas and Rice" is a riff on dormfood. Basically, leftovers... 1/2 cup cooked brown rice 1/2 cup cooked lentils 1/2 cup fresh peas 1 small carrot grated 1 tsp coconut oil thyme salt and pepper to taste Heat oil in a pan, add salt and pepper and thyme. Toss in rice, lentils, peas, and carrots.
Eat. Or put it in a jar to eat later. So yes, everything else works, my favorites are collard chiffonade, turnip greens chiffonade... just barely wilt the greens at the very end.
Like curry? Add curry powder and some fresh ginger to the oil at the very beginning, mmmm....
Laura recommended this recipe in the Piece by Piece Farm blog, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. I'm out in the field for the next kajillion weeks, it's fun to have yummy packed lunches. You know, something different than gas station chicken*.
I think it turned out pretty yummy. We used gluten-free cornmeal noodles instead of the soba noodles out of pure laziness.
*I love gas station chicken. One day I'll do a Jack Kerouac and instead of enlightenment, I'll search for the best gas station chicken in America.
Basically, leftovers...
