Craig Can Cook!
On this installment of "Cooking With Craigers", we cover the basic quick stirfry. Perfect for when in a hurry and still requiring a healthy meal...
1 Carrot
1 Red Pepper
1 Green Pepper
1/2 Red Onion
and a few snap peas for good measure!
With the above mentioned ingredients you can stick to the "veggy" in you , or add meat if you desire. For this recipe I of course being an Albertan at heart, added slices of beef.
Now with my usual technique I grab my favorite skillet, drop a little bit of oil in it, some finely chopped garlic, and a little bit of any other spice i have in my cupboard. Once the meat is browned on both sides I remove it from the skillet and place it in a bowl for later inclusion to the veggy medley!
Now of course during the time you are working on prepping the veggys and browning the meat , you are going to want to prepare some sort of rice dish on the side. Uncle Bens, Minute Rice, Basmati, or any other rice your little heart desires will do just fine!
Now using the same skillet, you know, your favorite one...add a little more oil, some thyme, oregano, salt , pepper, more garlic, and whatever else you want... Perhaps a dash of soy and worcester sauce. On a nice medium heat begin to add the veggies in and start stirring it up! Hold off a little while on the snap peas as I like to add them in near the end!
Dont be afraid to wing it and have fun kids! But remember dont get burned!
