This pea stew can be made with pantry and freezer ingredients. Exactly what we are all looking for right now. Simple meals, full of flavor that the whole family will enjoy. Did I mention that you can use ingredients that you already have at home?
Hello my friends. It seems like a very long time since we last talked. So much has happened. So many things changed. It is really hard to wrap my head around it. Most of us are now staying home. Homeschooling our kids while working from home.
Some of us are under lockdown and are allowed to leave our houses only for the absolute necessities.
And what is more basic than groceries?
Most of us are now relying on what we already have in our food storage to feed our families. Time is a commodity most of us can not spare with all our new responsibilities. Also going to the store is not only not advisable due to the pandemic but more and more stores are out of staple products.
This stew is one of my first choices when my fridge is looking kind of bare and I have to cook, to pack “hot” lunches for the next day, at 11:00p.m. Yes, I do regularly cook at such an hour. That’s why, I thought it could be useful for some of you too. Especially if you are trying to space out your shopping.
I always use a pressure cooker if the recipe allows me to. It is just a personal preference, especially since I bought myself an electric multi cooker, i.e. an Instant Pot. If you don’t own one, I urge you to consider investing in one. It is one of my most used kitchen appliances.
If you choose the stove, this recipe is also a keeper. All you have to do is double the amount of water (or stock if you are using that) and increase the cooking time. In my experience you need to cook the food three times longer to achieve the same results as you would if you were cooking in a pressure cooker. Still all stoves and pots are not the same so use your judgment.
I really hope you like this recipe. If so consider sharing it and tag me @olivetreemeals so I can see it.
