I feel like I should get some kind of award. Some kind of "following through on the challenge you arbitrarily set for yourself" award. What kind of reward-award would that be? Self satisfaction in completing a goal? Not enough. The pride of a job well done? Nah. The mere ability to feed myself? Boring.
Alright, I'll keep thinking and get back to you.
I made stuffed peppers based on this picture and using some ingredients from around the house. They turned out... well, really well. Toot toot!
That was me, tooting my own horn.
Step One: Gather ingredients for filling. I already had couscous made from another night so I didn't have to prepare that this time. To make the filling a little meatier, I included pine nuts, garlic, onions, basil, and chopped heirloom tomato.
Step Two: Halve bell peppers and put them on baking sheet. Roast in 350 degree oven for about thirty minutes.
Step Three: Chop ingredients! I also sliced the mozzarella for the top and set that aside.
Step Five: Fill peppers, cover with mozzarella, and cook at 350 degrees for another ten minutes until the mozzarella has melted.
Optional Step Seven: Share with your roommate as the two of you split an entire bottle of red wine. This bonding step isn't necessary to enjoy the recipe but is highly recommended.
Looks amazing. AMAZING. With a bottle of wine to split? Even more amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty fab evening. Especially after a day of work? Chopping is kind of relaxing. Weird!
