Foods served do not have to be complicated in fact mid
week simplicity is often the best.
Often a slow cooked pot in the oven or simmered on the top
of the stove can provide a warming and nutritious idea. In addition there are
the combination of convenience foods or using up left overs as written
before.
One thing I do like doing is what I call ‘one pot
cooking’. A dish complete in one container in which it is cooked and served
from. I thought of this recipe a combination of one pot and
left overs.
