I had a hard time coming up with a name for this recipe I threw together. It was inspired by a Quick Hungarian Goulash Recipe I found in "The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy" by Bette Hagman, along with the memory of the "pigs-in-a-blanket" my German grandmother used to make. (I was quite surprised when I first heard someone refer to sausage rolled up in pancakes as pigs in a blanket. I grew up with "pigs-in-a-blanket" referring to a mixture of ground pork/beef and rice cooked inside rolled cabbage leaves in tomato sauce.) Hmm, with those influences and a bent for stir-frying everything in a skillet, along with a nearly bare fridge, this experimental dish was quite a hit at our house- I'm SO glad I've learned to start writing down what I dump in when I cook! | *To start off with, I cubed 5 lbs. of beef roast and cooked it in my crock pot with 1 medium onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (chopped) and 1 (46 oz) can V8 100% vegetable juice until the meat was done. My plan is to freeze portions of the cooked meat & juice in different batches to use for future meals. In a large skillet, saute: 1 T. oil 4 medium carrots, julienne-d 1 red bell pepper, julienne-d 1/4 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp paprika (I used sweet Hungarian paprika, but regular works) Then: Scoop 2 cups of cooked, cubed beef into a measuring cup. Ladle in V8 broth it was cooked in to fill up to the 2 cup line. Add: 2 cups uncooked Uncle' Ben's rice 1 cup V8 broth 2 cups water Finally: Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until rice is cooked to desired consistency. Stir in 1 1/2 - 2 T. Gluten-Free soy sauce (at the time of this post, La Choy is gluten-free, but always check labels since ingredients change from time to time) |

Blog Hopping?I am not much of a blog reader. There's only a couple I check on occasion:
HisPoetry.blogspot.com Love this girl's writing... feels like she's a long distance friend. Well, her sister is my long-distance friend, so that probably helps. Either way, what an inspiration and encouragement- you just need to check out some of the places life has taken Leah and be strengthened and inspired by the love that oozes (yes, oooozes) from her heart for Jesus, His people and His creation! chocolatecoveredkatie.com If you like nummy recipes, or have special dietary needs (or both!) check it out. ALL of her recipes are Vegan, and many can be made gluten-free. I stumbled upon it when searching for dairy/egg free treats to make for my kiddo and have gotten hooked on several recipes. Okay, "hooked on" doesn't portray it well enough. How about "addicted to"? That's more fitting. Will definitely be going back for more! |
