Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Someone asked about what 10 ingredients other than bread, milk, apples, etc do you buy and how do you use it. Mine are very basic but show how versatile they are. If you don’t eat eggs, ignore the ones that refer to eggs. Anyone else have 10 ingredients for a list? Jacqueline’s 10 Ingredients Stewed tomatoes – Chili – East Indian Chick Peas – Spaghetti Sauce Kidney beans – Chili - Salads Chick Peas (Garbanzo beans) - East Indian Chick Peas – Hummus – Salads Brown Rice - East Indian Chick Peas (on the side) – Stir Fry (on the side) – Breakfast Rice Pudding Celery – chili - East Indian Chick Peas - Stir Fry – Spaghetti Sauce – Fried Rice Onions – Chili - East Indian Chick Peas – Omelet - Stir Fry – Spaghetti Sauce – Fried Rice Garlic – Chili - East Indian Chick Peas - Stir Fry – Spaghetti Sauce – Fried Rice Mushrooms – Chili – Omelet - Stir Fry – Spaghetti Sauce – Fried Rice Broccoli/Cauliflower – Side Dish – Omelet – Stir Fry – Salad – Snack – Fried Rice Carrots – Snack – Side Dish – Stir Fry – Fried Rice Baby Spinach – Side Dish – chopped in Omelet – Spaghetti Sauce - Salad Hmmm, 10 isn’t a lot but here is why I chose these (and I have 11 because onions and garlic seem to be common to me). They are very versatile ingredients and can make a variety of dishes. They are quick to use. East Indian Chick Peas is a really simple recipe that sautés the veggies with curry paste (Patak’s Milk found in a jar in the international foods section). Curry paste also makes awesome “Curry in a Hurry” made with red lentils in a recipe with similar ingredients. Hummus is chick peas pureed with garlic and lemon juice with some tahini (sesame seed paste) and a little cumin. If you can’t get tahini you can use a little peanut butter. It is delicious as a dip or I like to eat it on a bagel for breakfast. Chili is great because you can throw all the ingredients in a crock pot and it is delicious when you get home. If you forget to put it in the crock pot you can make it quickly in a pot on the stove, it just doesn’t have quite the same rich taste. I also then make veggie chili dogs for lunch the next day. Yummy!! Brown rice is much more nutritious than white rice. If you want brown rice to cook faster you can put it in the pot with the water in the morning and let it soak in the fridge until just before suppertime. When you put it on before supper it will only take as long as regular rice to cook. Leftover brown rice is good in the morning as breakfast with a little soy milk (or regular cow’s milk) brown sugar, raisins or other dried fruit, walnuts (if you like them) and then just microwave it hot. You can also make a main dish fried rice by using the ingredients I listed (sauté veggies first) and adding egg or a meat analogue. I chop celery up small so the kids don’t notice it and likewise for the spinach. If I add it into spaghetti sauce and that sort of thing you can’t taste it and it adds nutrition. If you have oatmeal (a common ingredient I think) you can also make something called Oriental Oats with the veggies and some eggs and some vegetable or veggie chicken stock. It is more like a stir fry than anything you would think of with oats in it. It is very good and very different. I love garlic and onions and they are supposed to be anti-cancer and have properties that fight illness in general. I just like mushrooms. :-) Broccoli or cauliflower are good as snacks or in a stir fry or omelet as well as added to a salad. I’ll have to keep a copy of this list! LOL It is amazing what you can come up with when you think about it. I have 11 different uses for the ingredients we listed. :-) Jacqueline http://adhdnme.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
