It’s going to be another busy work day, and another scorcher.
I don’t want to cook later when it gets hot, so I’m going to prep now.
It takes 20 to 30 minutes to cook the potatoes. Stay near by, you’ll need to stir frequently
California Potato Salad
Grilled Potato with vegetables
4 to 6 potatoes, washed and diced
1 onion, chopped and precooked in microwave to soften
1/2 zucchini
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 red and/or yellow bell pepper
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic (or more, to taste)
Optional:
1 carrot, chopped and precooked in microwave to soften
1/2 cup broccoli
Almost any other vegetables on hand
Coat pan with olive oil or non-stick spray
Spread potatoes in a single layer
Cook on medium-high heat to brown
Turn and brown second side
Add remaining vegetables and garlic; brown on both sides
Turn heat to low, cover
Turn often to avoid sticking or burning
Cook until very tender
NOTE: Make lots. This dish transformers into potato salad, hash with poached eggs, and more.
California Potato Salad
2 Tablespoons mayo (you don’t need much, don’t over do it or you’ll turn this from a light healthy dish to, well, a dish that’s got too much fat and calories)
1 teaspoon brown mustard
salt & pepper
dash sugar (optional to taste)
Mix together in a small bowl
NOTE: If you are tempted to add more may, instead add a splash of oil & vinegar.
Add to dressing to potato & vegetables.
Chill & enjoy
This is a very interesting potato salad.
Gazpacho
Green bell pepper
Cucumber
Zucchini
Tomatoes from canned
Garlic
Onion
Olive oil
Vinegar
Herbed Grilled Flat Bread
I’ve got dough in the freezer, so this is easy. I’ll put up the recipe another day. It’s pizza dough that can be used for lots more than pizza, as if pizza alone wouldn’t be enough.
Dust a wooden cutting board with corn flour
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin
Sprinkle with assorted spices and garlic
Brush with olive oil
Grill on one side
Brush other side with olive oil
Grill second side
NOTE; When you make dough in advance you are always 5 minutes away from fresh bread or pizza. Where’s the sacrifice in that! People are always shocked at the idea of eating on $2 a day. Are you starting to get the picture? When you do some prep and planning, when you have great ingredients on hand, you can eat like royalty every day.
