My thoughts:

One the most requested type of recipe I have is i skillet dinners. This is hard for me because spell I produce brand a fair total of all-in-one meals in the like shooting fish in a barrel cooker, if I am making a repast on the stove-top, it pretty much isn't a i skillet creation. Often I am making a master copy dish for this spider web log together with a side for a customer or vice versa. Or trying to brand a bunch of recipes for the spider web log all inward i shot.

But, the readers accept spoken together with I similar to listen. I made a i skillet dinner. However, spell I was typing upward the recipe, I realized this isn't quite a i skillet repast because yous accept to brand the rice inward seperate pot. Hmmm. I only pose it inward the rice cooker together with thus that's non cooking, right? Loophole. You could brand the rice ahead of fourth dimension or move leftover rice together with oestrus it upward slightly; warm rice seems to absorb the stock better. The stock actually brings the flavors of the dish together together with thus yous don't desire to skip that step.

I had dirty rice inward heed when I was making it. I've been craving muddied rice but I didn't accept liver on manus together with I've been trying to avoid huge shops at the supermarket the final yoke of weeks (just picking upward odds together with ends similar bread, fruit) because I accept together with thus much nutrient inward the freezer together with fridge already. I had defrosted closed to boneless turkey cutlets together with thus I cubed them, used the residuum of the Hatch Republic of Chile peppers nosotros hadn't frozen together with closed to okra that miraculously was nevertheless fresh despite beingness inward my fridge for over two weeks. I give cheers shopping at farm stores together with very, rattling mutual coldness fridge for that trick. Luckily, it all came together together with was tasty to boot. Call it "clean rice". The peppers produce plough the rice slightly greenish though.

I intend it is the perfect repast to line together on a weeknight. It is homey without beingness bland or wearisome together with actually satisfying. The okra stays dainty together with crisp which provides swell texture variety, something I ever discovery lacking inward a lot of i skillet meals.
