We are working to thin out the contents of the frig and freezer so our creativity is being put to the test. Janelle thawed out a Kielbasa sausage for dinner and left me to come up with something edible. (Strangely, this seems to happen quite often on her off days??)
So, I went exploring the refrigerator to see what was there and I decided to try a stir-fry. Here's what I found:
- 1/4 of a bell pepper (slice thin)
- a couple of some kind of onion (very mild; slice thin)
- one medium onion (sliced)
- 6-8 cloves of garlic (chopped very fine)
- one fennel (sliced)
- some of the fennel fronds (chopped fine)
- a few pieces of chives (chopped very fine)
- 1 can Rotel
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 2 c rice, cook
- olive oil
Prepare the vegetables as described above. Stir fry in a few tablespoons of olive oil until slightly crisp. Set aside in a bowl.
Slice the sausage very thinly and stir fry. Add back the vegetables and add Rotel and diced tomatoes. Stir until well warmed and let simmer about 15 minutes.
Serve over rice.
