fred_mouseNo photo, because I'm not that with it today.
Tonights meal came about because we had leftover boiled red kidney beans, I while I wanted to eat refried beans, I didn't want to make them. It is a real testament to my standard cooking style, which is 'what else will go in here?'
So, I threw cacao butter (the last of a packet I've been trying to use up for months, because the flavour is strong) and some oil in the wok, and after a short period of time, threw in all the drained red kidney beans. I'm guessing 3 cups? Then I threw in the rest of the bag of frozen peas and corn that were in the freezer. I'm going with 400g. I stirred and stirred until everything looked thawed, and then threw in a couple of handfuls of roasted peanuts. And then declared I was too tired, and turned the heat off.
Surprisingly pretty, particularly because it has been served to me on a bed of shredded lettuce with some 'Japanese seaweed salad'* on top, and some chopped mango and microwaved potato on the side. Decidedly simple, and about ten minutes of cooking/prep with three people in the kitchen (one at the wok, one doing potatoes, one doing lettuce and mango)
*I don't speak or read enough Japanese to know what the actual label says - this is what the English label sticker says
