We are currently redoing our kitchen, so I have been without a kitchen since Monday, June 20. I am sick of going out to McDonald's, or KFC for supper, so I decided to get creative. What I have to cook with is a grill, an electric frypan, a George Foreman grill, and a microwave oven. First creation:
Incredible Noodle Saute:
Ingredients: fresh sugar snap peas (with pods) that came from my garden
No Yolks broad egg noodles
fresh grated parmesan cheese
Smart Balance original buttery spread - 3 tablespoons
salt and pepper to taste
First, fill a 4 quart microwave safe container with water. Heat on high in a microwave oven for 14 minutes. Pour in egg noodles. Cook for an additional 12 minutes. Drain
Remove ends of sugar snap peas. Place Smart Balance in electric fry pan. Set pan at 200 degrees. Saute peas for about 6 minutes.
Mix in egg noodles, grate about 3 ozs of parmesan cheese and add to noodle mixture, and heat through until cheese is melted. If noodles seem dry, add a bit more Smart Balance
Best Boneless Barbequed ribs
Ingredients: boneless pork ribs
2 - 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 - 2 cups water
1/2 red onion
Kraft original barbeque sauce (or what you like)
salt and pepper to taste
Pour water into a microwave safe baking pan. (I used an 8 inch square glazed ceramic pan)
Add vinegar. Dice red onion. Add 2/3's to water. Place ribs in water, and top with remaining onion. Place in microwave and heat at around a 6 (out of 10 settings) for about 9 minutes. Turn over and cook at a 6 for another 6-8 minutes, so no longer pink.
Take out red onion with slotted spoon and add some to the barbeque sauce. Place ribs on grill and brush on sauce, then barbecue over hot charcoal for about 15 minutes, turning often and brushing with barbeque sauce. What I ended up with were extremely moist, very tasty ribs. They were so tender they just melted in my mouth.
Last item I used for my dinner was a garden salad, made from lettuce from my garden, some peas without pods, full sugar snap pea pods, red pepper, cucumber, vine ripened tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and just a little swiss chard. So you can cook a very tasty meal without a stove or conventional oven, it just takes a little forethought as to what to microwave first.
