Lazy cooking 101
The biggest, most universal challenge in daily adult life besides maintaining a healthy mental state is deciding what to eat 3 times a day. What are your best recipes that you can follow on autopilot whenever you can't decide?
I'll start.
Americans can't cook so i'm using the metric system.
Autumn stew with chanterelle and lingonberries (30-40 minutes)
ingredients:- Calf broth (~20-30 ml)
- Soy (~15ml)
- Chicken thigh or pork neck (honestly whatever works here so go wild with whatever's in the fridge)
- Cooking cream (5DL)
- Around 200 grams of Chanterelles (fresh if the season's right, but canned works perfectly fine too)
- 1 Onion
- Lingonberry jam (1DL)
- PASTA
Cooking the stew:- Chop up an onion, the finer the better.
- Cut the protein into small pieces, around 4x4cm
- fry the protein of your choice in a pan. it should be pretty much ready to eat before it goes in the stew. Cook the onion with the protein until it's golden.
- fry the chanterelles in the pan for a short amount of time. Keep the stock if you bought them canned. it's going in the stew!
- Put the protein and onion in a saucepan, pour a good amount of cooking cream over it. I usually go for about 5DL if i'm cooking for 5 meals.
- Add soy and calf broth. Not sure how much here, but feel free to give it a taste test until it's right. Pour in the chanterelle stock.
- Add the chanterelles
- Let that sucker cook on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the lingonberry jam last
- If you're picky with the balance of the flavour you can add a little vinegar.
Serve with your pasta of choice. I hear it goes well over rice too.
