every thursday, andrew plays ultimate {i play wednesdays}. every thursday, i get to chill out and eat whatever i want for dinner, and do whatever i want in the evening.
there is a long list of foods that andrew won't eat {fish, olives, melon} for various reasons, so thursdays are a great day for me to make/eat foods that i don't otherwise get. tonight, that meant a little bit of olive and a bit of melon into a tasty stirfry.
stirfry of random no-recipe goodness
per person
- 1 head of broccoli, sliced {include the stalk}
- 1 spicy sausage
- 1 sixth of a honeydew melon, cubed
- 6 spicy olives of choice
- 2 tsp olive oil {a smallish drizzle}
- 1/4 cup basmati rice
- 1/2 cup water
- a pinch of cumin
- a drizzle each of soya sauce and rice vinegar {about a tablespoon each}
cook the sausage in the olive oil until juicy and cooked through {3 minutes). add the broccoli and about 1/8 cup of water and continue frying. boil the water for your rice at this point. once the water has come to a boil, add the rice, stir and cover. set the timer for about 12 minutes. meanwhile, add the honeydew melon and sliced olives, as well as the soya sauce, rice vinegar and cumin. once the rice is soft and creamy, add it to the sausage/broccoli mixture and stir to coat.
served with sapporo beer.
