But I'm not a great by-the-seat-of-my-pants cook.
My Best Femme is, she can turn 5 random and seemingly unmatchable ingredients into a gourmet 3-course meal using a microwave and a hot plate. ( I've seen her do this exact thing, its quite impressive.)
I thought it would be fun to have a thread where you can come in and share a list 5 or 6 random ingredients you have, and crowd source possible meals to be made of them.
For example...
I currently have:
- 1 bag of uncooked edamame,
- 2 large yams,
- 1 frozen naan,
- a small block of havarti and
- a bag of arugula.
that may or may not be the sum total of the contents of my fridge/freezer at the moment.
Any ideas? |
You could also --
bake the yams til almost done. peel.
add to saute pan with olive oil, season with salt/pepper
add edamame and arugula til wilted/cooked
place on top of (un)frozen naan
add some grated cheese
place back into oven til melted
MMM.
(maybe some crushed/sliced garlic would be good too)
