[quote=Anonymous]This is a wonderful thread!  My contributions:

1. Chickpeas in couscous: make one box of pearl couscous according to the direction, add one can on chickpeas and half a bag of frozen peas.  Stir until the peas are cooked at which point it will conveniently be the exact temperature my kids want their dinner at.  (I made this so many times I now buy the couscous in big tubs and cook it with broth instead of relying on a spice pack for flavouring and prep dried chickpeas but the above is the quickest and easiest of recipes.)

2. Shrimp peanut bowls: Put on plain rice.  While it’s cooking, pan fry shrimp and julienne vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, peppers are good as are bean spirits if you have them).  Make peanut sauce of up rice bowls with 4:3:2:1:1 Tbps of oil:peanut butter:citrus juice (lime/lemon/Yuzu all good):sugar:soy sauce plus a minced clove of garlic and some grated ginger.  Construct rice bowls according to taste with shrimp, peanuts, veg, and sauce.

3. Sprinkle fish on both sides with salt, let sit for 10 minutes.  Pan fry.  Serve over rice with sesame seaweed sheets and/or edamame.

4. Avocado pasta: Cook pasta.  While cooking, slice tomatoes and avocado.  Dump in parts as soon as it’s drained, add a drizzle of olive oil, mix well so the avocado smushed a bit, and serve with a generous helping of Parmesan.

5. Almost any breakfast-as-dinner (tonight we had scrambled eggs, toast, and cherry tomatoes).[/quote]
