I'm mainly sticking with one pot, minimal prep dishes. as I have little energy after my recent sojourn with the nurses and doctors. So, it's slow cooker land here, not something I usually use much, especially in summer.
Tonight I diced a chicken breast I "discovered" in the freezer and braised it with fresh shiitake mushrooms, shallots, whole garlic cloves, black olives, and capers. Served with rice and my new favourite bottled hot, ginger flavoured sauce from Thailand.
Although it was OK, it lacked something - probably something I don't have anyway.
Also, I would normally have done something green as a side, but didn't have anything and didn't feel up to venturing out. Tomorrow my dearest friend is coming to take me to the city's best supermarket in her brand new car.
