Lunchtime
I spent an hour on lunch today, which is about average for my main meal of the day. Most days I toss random ingredients together and hope the result is edible, today was no different. However, apparently the clouds parted and heavenly light rained down at just the right moment, and Yea, Verily, edible bliss ensued. Because something so delicious demands to be shared, here’s the recipe. Enjoy:
Easy Bread & Awesomeness in a Skillet
“So Easy A Caveman Could Do It”-bread:
2 cups flour
1T oil
1/2C Water
1L Nalgene Bottle
Explosions of Awesomeness in a Skillet:
Garden Eggs (or eggplant/aubergine)
Tomatoes
Onion
Garlic
Agushi (neutral, adds protein. Dried squash seeds.)
Lime
Dried Mint
Oil
Salt
Stupid-easy bread:
Mix 1.5C flour with oil, add water gradually until it looks like bread dough. Divide into 8 balls. Chase cat off table, flour rolling area, roll balls into flat rounds with Nalgene bottle (hint: fill bottle half-way with water for added oomph). Cook in pre-heated, ungreased skillet for a few minutes, flipping half way.
Skillet Block Party:
Chop onion & garlic, put in hot pan with oil & salt - the floury bits from previous enterprises add flavour. Add diced garden eggs & tomatoes, cover. Clean up mess from making bread. Stir skillet, add dried mint sparingly because it’s bloody expensive from Accra. Squeeze lime, pick out seeds because you’re a doofus. Add salt again because salt & lime adds to the awesome. Stir. Turn off gas. Eat with bread.
