Everybody should know that it is rather hard to cook for one. Most of the time you have more ingredients to cook with or you make too much for one. That’s why at times you make a lot and have to eat it two days in a row. At other times you still have some leftover products, these leftovers can be used with creativity to create tasty and waste-less food. It is a way of trying new things out. Experimenting on new dishes that can be improved at a second attempt.
As for this recipe an easy-peasy ‘Filled bell pepper and potatoes for one.’
Ingrediënts:
1 red bell pepper
1 small onion
150grams of minced meat
4 small/medium sized potatoes
pepper and salt for seasoning
Wash the potatoes first, peel it with a knife or peeler and cut them afterwards into small cubes. Peel the onion and cut it into rings or half rings. (whatever the way you like it.) Rinse the bell pepper and roast it on an open flame. (the gas pit can be used as a source) Roast the bell pepper until it is firm and soft. Often the skin of the pepper will turn char black and hot to pick up. Then cut the top off and remove the seeds and other unedible parts of the pepper.
Heat up two frying-pans, one for the meat and one for the potatoes. In both pans add a tiny bit of oil. The first pan add the onion first to glaze them well and afterwards add the minced meat. Season the meat with some pepper and salt to your tasting and let it heat up in the pan while occasionally stirring. When done fill the sliced open Bell pepper with meat. In the second pan just fry the potatoes until they are golden brown and well done. (If you want it to be less fried just cover the pan with a lid and it will steam-fry/boil the potatoes. When everything is done plate it and serve.
I hope you like it. Like, share and keep Experimenting!
