I have (maybe had by this point) a pretty stock up freezer right now. I've been trying to consume everything in there because I will need the space soon and because I realized that I have so much food in there. Including some containers that I've been missing as well.
Yesterday I found some Chicken Curry Meatballs hidden on the bottom of the freezer and decided to use them for lunch today. Also I had some shiitake mushrooms and a bit of coconut milk. You can see where I am going, right? During the weekend I did some tabbouleh and had bulgur ready to be used. I know that I am mixing Asian with Middle Eastern here, but what's the fun of cooking if you can't experiment, right?
Yes, I am crazy for cilantro.
For the chicken meatballs: they were already done, I had to defrost it first. Then I did let them get golden in olive oil. After this I add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Then it came the coconut milk, red pepper (cayenne), splash of lime juice, fish sauce and salt to season. A bit (a lot actually) of cilantro. And that was it.
I decided to stir fry the bulgur a little. Never did this way. I have no regrets! In a pan I added olive oil, red onion and garlic. Then the bulgur, stir fry it a bit and it's read in less than 5 minutes.
The whole meal took me about 15 minutes to prepare - from chopping until finished.
Don't love when you get the most of your fridge and do some amazing creation? This was DELICIOUS! Also I feel so fitness eating healthy food that doesn't taste bland or bad.
