COOKING TIPS

I don’t like to waste food or time, so I love to cook big batches of foods ahead of time. Then I use them during the week for instant gourmet meals. For example, I’ll prepare pesto when basil is in season. My family makes a whole weekend of it, and everyone goes home with a few jars for themselves. During the week, I’ll come home, and simply cook some whole wheat pasta and toss it with pesto for an instant meal. Or I might stuff it under the skin of chicken breasts and bake them in the oven for twenty minutes. What could be easier? Or I might add a few flavorful spoonfuls to a vegetable soup.

When tomatoes are in season—ripe and delicious—Alan will buy a crate of them and I’ll spend a day making “Candied” Tomatoes (this page) and store them in olive oil in the refrigerator. They make a great Level Two lunch with cannellini beans, served atop a green salad, or a slice of grilled whole wheat bread with some fresh basil. A fast dinner is an omelet filled with “Candied” Tomatoes and caramelized onions. Grill a fresh fillet of sole and top it with “Candied” Tomatoes; it takes no more than ten minutes and is fit for company. Serve with lamb chops or chicken … I could go on and on.

I like to roast a chicken on Sundays for my family and serve it with vegetables and baked garlic. I’ll bake some extra garlic and store it in the refrigerator for a quick lunch with sautéed vegetables or pasta. I’ll remove all the leftover meat from the chicken and use it for a chicken salad or grilled with vegetables. Then I make from the carcass a rich, dark chicken stock that I use later on for vegetable soup, chicken soup, or as a flavoring in sauces.

So whenever you cook, constantly think ahead. In today’s busy world, it’s a wonderful treat to have in your freezer or refrigerator the fresh, delicious ingredients and components of an instant, healthy, and appetizing meal.
