Dinner 2025

[liamsaunt]

Stir fried chicken, broccoli and peppers  in a sweet and spicy sauce with rice

 

[rotuts]

Ive been working w ground turkey, which I enjoy .

 

l thought id also add broccoli and carrots , veg Ive enjoyed in the past .

 

pressure steaming in the iPot is easy , and gives me veg to work with cooked.

 

so , I tried carrots , PS  4 minutes , quick release .  times mentioned several places in the WWW

 

I used pre-pealed , not really baby.  the cooled in cold water .  the surface 1/2 seemed over cooked , the rest not so much.

 

I mashed the results to even things out.  I added a bit of Tj's sweet chili sauce.  

 

broccoli was 4 minutes , micro .  three turned out better :

 

Mise

 

 

the broccoli is raw , upper L  the carrots , cooked , refrigerated , R

 

red table wine , w demi , L bottom

 

cooked the ' slice ' of ground turkey , in the usual fashion , deglazed w the wine ( warmed up ) and butter

 

day one :

 

 

broccoli over cooked , 4 min micro steamed  carrots decent , but wet

 

day 2 

 

 

B  3 min, much better .  carrots , still a little wet , but not so much.  dry roasted pecans on the carrots.  forgot to put the butter in

 

the deglaze , off the heat of course , so it went on the turkey.

 

decent meal , but broccoli and carrots need a little work

Roasted with a light char is perfect in this house.

i usually blanch the broc first...then 375 for 10 or 15 min.  i'll split the florettes and roast cut side down in a little oil

I haven't tried blanching the broccoli, but I agree that a bit of olive oil and then roasting is good. I do that with cauliflower and slices of ripe bell pepper too. I'll try blanching the broccoli first next time around. Thanks for the pointer.
