And in the middle of winter and the nearest grocery store a half-hour walk away - I've learned to cook out of my pantry in January and February. I browned a little chopped dehydrated onion in some butter in a saucepan then added some chopped fresh thyme, fresh rosmary and dried celery leaves I crushed-up with my fingers. I also chopped up some frozen red and green pepper strips I keep in my freezer, but some carrots would be a nice substitue. I then added a can of drained mushrooms and stirred it around a little, letting the water rehydrate the onions a little bit. Then dumped the canned soup (in my case, I used cream of chicken but cream of mushroom will work) followed by two undrained cans of tuna and a drained can of peas. If it was too thin, I thickened with a little dried milk mixed with flour in water. Then gave it a bit of soy sauce and several grinds of black pepper. I served if over toast and the leftover tuna sauce over rice. It was good. And it was filling. But I could also have tossed it with buttered egg noodles. If you want to make it 'more fancy', I've crushed up saltine crackers into crumbs. Then browned them in a saute pan with butter until they get brown and crunchy. Then just give them a shake of garlic or onion powder and maybe some black pepper or even parmesan cheese right at the end. And sprinkle the crumb topping over the served tuna and noodles. <shrug> Good luck. -- MJB Mr. Tin's Miniature Painting Workshop: http://web.newsguy.com/Mrtinsworkshop/ |
