FiXatoYuck... this #FirstPrice canned #tuna smells horrible... not spoiled, but very unlike the variety I usually get... quite pungent taste too.
Not chunky either, so it basically dissolves into this pasta dish too.
#BeardGrabber seems to enjoy the dish though, so I guess I'll just have to eat through my disappointment...
Experimental #babiKetjap (pork in sweet soy sauce) inspired dish simmering in the #CrockPot Express.
#Hachee, a #Dutch beef and onion stew, is in the #CrockPot Express on slow cooker setting.
It's probably not going to be done in time for dinner, since I stayed up way too late and mistakenly thought I could drag myself out of bed in time, so I might end up switching it to #pressureCooker setting later on.
Today's food was very simple, but quite filling and tasty:
- peeled a rutabaga and cut it into fairly large chunks
- washed and peeled a couple of rather large carrots, and also cut those into similarly sized chunks
- washed potatoes, and cut them in half, skin-on
- Put all these in my #CrockPot Express #MultiCooker on top of the grate that came with it, and filled it with water just below the top of the grate. Added salt to the veggies, but I think I added too little.
- Closed the lid, set the valve to 'sealed' and turned the Crock-Pot to Steam function for 8-10 minutes (can't quite remember what I set it to).
- Cut a large onion in strips and added it to a small frying pan with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper, and put a lid on top, on medium to low heat while the Crock-Pot was heating up.
- crushed and sliced some garlic and added it to the onions when it was time to turn the heat up.
- once the Crock-Pot was done heating up and switched to steam mode, I cranked up the heat on the onions and removed the lid from the small frying pan. Stirred it every now and then, and added the garlic when they started to brown.
- once the rutabaga, carrots and taters were finished, I drained them, put them in a separate bowl (to not damage the anti-stick coating), and mashed them all together
- mixed in a knob of butter, salt, pepper, thyme. Would've added rosemary too, but I seem to be out of it.
Obviously you don't need a Crock-Pot Express for this. You can just prepare it in a regular steamer, or even just a pan with boiling water.
If I'd remembered in time, I'd probably have first sautéed the onions and garlic in the Crockpot too, and then set them aside for later, or even just had let them melt into the veggies by leaving them in the pot. Next time I'd probably also not drain the liquid, or at least keep it aside so I can add it back into the mash after pounding the veggies together.

Didn't follow a recipe, and yet this might've been one of the best chicken dinners I've made to date...
Chicken breast filets cooked for a long time in an oven bag with roughly chopped onions, a tomato, crushed garlic and paprika, seasoned with salt, white & black pepper, dried crushed onion, curry Masala powder, smoked paprika powder, and coated in sunflower oil.
Then, once it's all been cooked through, I put it in an oven dish with a packet of ginger coconut milk, and more curry powder, and added two plums and two pears, and put it for a while longer back into the oven while I boiled rice and diced sweet potato in salty water.
Not quite sure if this counts as a #OnePanDish... I probably could've put the fruits and coconut milk in the oven bag at the same time as the chicken and veggies? Or you could skip the rice and boiled sweet potato. 😅
Been naked cheffing in my kitchen early morning with some discounted lamb meat.
"Oh, like Jamie Oliver?" I hear you think.
Nah, just got out of bed and was about to head into the shower before I thought to myself I should set the meat to cook in time. 😅 Else I'd likely forget again, and it needs a while to roast (and I plan on making a soup with part of it).
Saw a kilo of discounted smoked #svinekam (pork loin?) in the local supermarket, and decided to spoil myself and #BeardGrabber :)
First heated it through for a while in near-boiling water in its sealed packaging, before transferring the meat to an oven tray and dumping what was left in a jar of apricot jam which was near its expiration date anyway, on top of it.
Spread it out over the hunk of meat and let it roast for a while, turning and basting it with jam that was getting stickier and stickier (to the point I had to add some water to prevent it from burning).
Kiddo and I are munching on half of it now; the rest is still in the oven.
Would've been better with the orange marmalade I had originally planned, before finding out I never replaced the jar I used up or tossed out a while ago... but still worthwhile!
