We did a bit of tag-team in the kitchen, today… I had planned burgers with a mushroom sauce because I had mushrooms that needed using up. Victor decided to make an orzo salad because orzo salads are really good. I had also harvested another huge bowl of tomatoes.
You can see how logic plays right into our meal decisions.
The salad consisted of:
- orzo
- fresh tomatoes
- tomato paste
- leeks
- celery
- kalamata olives
- olive oil
- garlic powder
- salt and pepper
Fresh and refreshing!
The burgers were pretty basic and the mushroom gravy was:
- crimini mushrooms
- shiitake mushrooms
- brandy
- red wine
- beef stock
- pepper, garlic powder
- cornstarch to thicken
Neither were anything fancy, but they really hit the spot.
Tomorrow night, we’re thinking of reworking the salad into a pasta dish with shrimp!
Stay tuned.
