You do SO have food in the fridge!!

overbite

So it seemed like we had nada to eat, but from the recesses of fridge and cupboard I scaped together this delightful meal:
check this: simplicity at it's tastiest.

-last of the rice-short grain brown, aproximately 1 1/2 cup
-half a big onion....or like a cup almost-chop it..
-coconut oil-always on hand, a *STAPLE if you will-1 tbsp
-sesame oil-last week's purchase-cheap from chinatown-1/2 tsp
-a substantial carrot-chopped big diagnonally
-1/2 inch of hot green chili- diced up fine
-Tahini-1 tbsp
-tamari-3 shakes, or 1 tsp
-pumpkin seeds-2 handfuls
-i cubic 1/2 inch of fresh ginger

instruction:
cook the rice
melt the coconut oil; saute the onions and carrot; add sesame oil; stir; add ginger and green chili; stir....
drop tahini into middle of pan; shake the tamari into the puddle; stir it together and then combine with the rest of the indredients in the pan.
get em all nice and saucy.
now rain pumpkin seeds(pepitas) all over it and stir again.

time:
25 minutes...

feeds two people good fats, vitamin A, protein, zinc, fiber, calcium, and trace minerals.

tips: keep heat medium or slightly lower. Also, if tahini is too thick to pour, stir it with enough water to thin it slightly.

*In my kitchen the following items are STAPLES:
coconut oil
tahini
onion
carrot
ginger
rice
pumpkin seeds
and others

when you run out of staples, then your cupboard truely is bare, until then, put something together!
