/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Alright. I'll bite.

Our routine at home has been fucked. We have neglected and mismanaged the fridge, but we have a real fucking boner for not wasting food. We even sometimes cook food with food, frequently with great albeit unreproduceable results.

Today I raided the fridge for the veggies that were about to go bad, and bought just the couscous and chicken. Everything else was in the fridge or pantry.

The meal was miso eggplant garnished with scallion greens and roasted carrot.

Stewed king oyster mushrooms with almost expired tomatoes, onions, thyme from the garden, olive oil, capers and a bit of miso to tie it together.

Couscous with lemon zest, lemon juice, pan fried onions, pan fried asparagus, walnuts, cranberries and roasted onions.

I also grilled a piece of chicken thigh just for the protein, but might have as well done without.

Best improvised meal I've done.
