Into the usual puddle of olive oil, I put chopped onion, red bell pepper, carrots, garlic, and the chicken, which I'd cut into chunks. I sweated the veggies, stirring them around, and then added some diced roosters (red potatoes). I put water into the pot to cover everything, brought it to a boil, turned the heat down a bit and let it cook until the potatoes were tender, adding some dried oregano and basil about halfway through the cooking time. When I added the potato and water I turned on the heat under another pot and cooked the pierogi. When the soup was done, I put a few pierogi in the bottom of the bowls, ladled on some soup, and added some cubed parmagianno reggiano cheese. Yum!
Here it is through the steam:
Since I used some stuff from the freezer I had some room and I grabbed another bag of pierogi at the store--gotta get it while it's here!
Today Bill said he wanted mac and cheese, so I made some cheese sauce. Puddle of olive oil again, into which went chopped onion, red bell pepper and garlic. I stirred the veggies around until they were soft, then added some flour, incorporating it in before turning down the heat and adding some milk. I whisked this around until thickened and then removed the pot from the heat and dumped in some cubed extra mature and mature cheddar and a liberal sprinkle of black pepper. A few twirls of the whisk and it was melted and incorporated. I cooked the rest of a bag of whole wheat fusilli and Bill had that with cheese sauce. For myself, I heated up the rest of a container of leftover cooked brown rice and put some cheese sauce and several grinds of the hot chilli mixture I like so well. Of course there are leftovers :-)
