« Part 4: Chicken burger on sprouted grain bun with spicy potato wedges Part 5 of Harvest Time...Recipes series Part 6: Brunch Layer »

7 min dinner

This is a staple in our house…One day me and a friend were chatting on the phone and she said she was starving and was going to head to McD’s for something to eat…I told her that I would talk her through a healthy cooked dinner in less time than it would take her to drive to McD’s and back so she was up for the challenge even though she had never really cooked anything before…So we timed it and aside from peeling the potatoes she had a steaming hot chicken dinner, creamy mashed potatoes and gravy with a side medely of veggies in just 7 minutes.

After that every time I called she was was making 7 minute dinner :)

So here is how it’s done:

(serves 2)

First peel and cut into quarters 6 medium potatoes

Put them on boil.

In a frying pan add
1tsp butter 1/4 minced onion and 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tsp sea salt and some cracked pepper. Saute onions and garlic until carmelized add a tbs of water so it don’t completely stick to pan the add your meat or mushrooms ( this works well with any thin cuts of meat or a large portabello mushroom cap) meat must be no thicker than an inch. put a lit on the pan and cook for 3 minutes.

During that 3 minutes steam 2 cups of your favorite frozen veggie medely and drain your potatoes.

Mash potatoes with a tbs of butter and 1/8C milk (or soy milk) wisk until creamy.

Turn your meat over… the pan should be well carmelized but not burned and add 3/4 cup of water wisking with a fork to remove all caramel from the pan. In a jam jar add 1 heaping Tbs of flour a pinch of savory and 1/8c water…shake shake shake until there are no lumps…swiftly add this to the pan stiring constantly until gravy has thickened.

Serve and enjoy.
