Thanksgiving 2014

My neighbours and I are all tired of Thanksgiving Turkey. We sort of got the idea (blame it on the Jack) of having what you come up with.

The rules are simple.
  1. Half must be "leftovers", or "whatever is in the cabinet / refrigerator".
  2. No going to the store.
  3. No burning each other out.
  4. 3/4 of the audience (people who did not cook it) have to be able to eat it.
So, we'll see what we get. We all love spicy stuff.
  • 3 clove garlic
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 pound tube steak, sliced 1/4" thick medallions
  • 1 can beans (2 would have been better)
  • 1 can tomatoes
  • 1 C leftover canned corn, in juice
  • 2 T sliced jalapenos
  • 1/4 C nopalitos
  • 2 T bouillon powder (or 2 cubes)
  • 1/4 t cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 t cumin
  • 1/2 t curry powder
  • 1 T ginger
  • 1/2 t mustard
  • 1 T sesame seeds
  • 1/4 t tumeric
  • 2 C rice
  • 3 C water (4 C total, for 2 C rice)
And cook.
  1. Saute the garlic and onion (I love the smell of sauteing garlic).
  2. Add everything else but rice and water, bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cook 1/2 hour or so.
  3. Add rice, and water, being to boil, reduce to simmer, cook until rice is tender.
  4. Drink more Jack.
  5. 3 of us added just a tiny bit of Tabasco - and we all ate it.
  6. See what else we got - but my neighbours don't publish recipe blogs. 8-(
