I started off the day with breakfast fried rice.
Yummy in my tummy. I dumped my left over jasmine rice in a pan with a little olive oil and let it heat up and then moved it to the side and put in a couple of egg whites and one whole egg. Once the egg was mostly cooked I tossed it all together. A little sea salt and done!
In the late afternoon I put some Stuffed Bell Pepper stew on to simmer.
Happy cold day eating, this new recipe was a winner! I used this recipe from Taste of Home to get me started. If you know me, I use recipes as a suggestion and I tend to mix it up a bit. Here is what I did:
Ingredients:
1.5 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped in small bite size pieces
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, diced
6 cups beef stock
3 bell peppers, cut in small bite size pieces
2 cans (14.5 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomato
1 cup jasmine rice, raw
1/8 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons beef bouillon
1 teaspoon pepper
sea salt, to taste
Lawry's Season Salt, to taste
In a saute pan I cooked the ground beef with a sprinkling of the Lawry's salt. While the beef was cooking I sauteed my onion and garlic in my stew pot in the olive oil. When the beef was done cooking and the onions were beginning to be translucent I drained the beef and added it and the rest of the ingredients. I let the stew simmer on the lowest setting until dinner time.
My biggest changes were subbing in stock for the water which I think makes the flavor a lot richer. Since I had the time, I also let the rice cook in the stew. I think it really added flavor to the rice. I also added garlic (because I didn't see a reason not to) and onion.
It was great! I will be happily eating stew leftovers for the rest of the week.
I hope you have a tasty Wednesday as well!
