To get M to eat vegetables is an extremely difficult chore. You can't just have boiled or stired fried vegetables. It has to look pretty. My creamed spinach was rejected as it looked disgusting according to her. One way I discovered is to fry some rice with a mixture of carrots, peas, sweetcorn and long beans. It looks quite colourful and so thankfully, she has no problems with that. For dinner today, its country chicken saute, comfort food in a way. I love casseroles as they feel so homly and earthy. To me this is what home cooking is all about. For this dish, fry some diced bacon till its browned. Remove from the pan. Dredge chicken portions in flour, salt and pepper and pan fry till they are all brown on both sides. Remove from the pan. Pan fry some mushrooms with butter. Return the chicken and the bacon to the pan, and add white wine and chicken stock. Simmer till cooked.
As I am also in charge of the washing up, I have this habit of limiting the number of bowls I used. So for today, I decided to pour the saute over the rice to reduce the amount of washing. It actually tasted really good, wonderful mixture of flavours; the sweetness of the vegetables and the rich taste of the white wine sauce. Yums.
