Contents of the Fridge Dinner

I was trying to get dinner together this evening before Amanda got home from work (and we still have two house guests to feed as well). So I emptied the contents of our fridge and freezer into a pot and this is what I came up with:

Tempeh and Veggie Stir Fry

1 package of multi grain tempeh
2 tablespoons red curry powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 large spring onion
1 broccoli crown
1/2 diced zucchini
2/3 cup frozen snow peas
3 cups Trader Joes Frozen Biryani Mix (yellow rice, red peppers, peas, raisins, apples, onions)
Salt and pepper to taste

To Do:

Cube the tempeh and place it in a plastic Ziploc bag. Add the red curry powder into the Ziploc bag, seal the bag, and shake it so that the curry marinates the tempeh.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil. Chop the garlic and spring onion, add them to the pot. Cook until soft. Add the broccoli, snow peas, and zucchini and cook until tender.

Dump the contents of the Ziploc bag (the tempeh and any loose curry powder) into the pot and heat. Add the Biryani Mix last, since it only needs to cook for a few minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste and serve (to your very hungry roommate and friends!)

Yeah I made Amanda eat all of this.

Up close of my plate- delicious.

Happy Eating!
