one dish dish

I’ve become a big fan of “one dish” dishes for our weekday dinners. During my lunch break I spend 20-30 mins and put all the ingredients into a baking pan, the crock pot or a dutch oven. Just before I leave to pick up Pia, I put it in the oven and an hour later everything is ready. If it is something that requires the crock pot, I start slow-cooking it around noon. There’s only one dish to clean, which means we have more time for each other.

Pictured above is tonight’s dinner: those are six chicken drumsticks, some potatoes, red onion, garlic and lemon pieces. It is seasoned with some ground pepper, coarse salt and oregano twigs. I also threw in some bacon (two slices), because bacon makes everything better – right? There’s just a little bit of olive oil sprinkled over everything and the brown “sauce” is balsamic vinegar. It really smells delicious and I hope it tastes the same way. We’ll just have a small salad on the side. All in all, this costs around 6 dollars for the two of us (and there will be left-overs).

If I don’t forget about it, I’ll take an after-photo later on …
