I love cooking…most of the time. What I love more than cooking is good food. But at the end of the day when you’re tired, cooking is quite a hustle. So having a meal that can be ready in 15 minutes with very little to do is quite a relief. Plus I’m not an excellent cook so complicated procedures don’t appeal to me.

Last weekend I was working from home and the last thing I needed was to spend a whole hour in the kitchen. But it being a few days before payday, the fridge and pantry were quite empty and I could not find any ready-to-eat snacks or food. There was very little food available to work with and I didn’t want to go out and buy takeout. I checked through the kitchen and discovered that I had a potato, some carrots and a solitary pork chop just lying around. That was enough for me. I prepared a meal from the available ingredients and ended up better than I thought. I was quite surprised to be honest.

  • Olive oil

Some speculate that it is caused by a viral infection and this order cheap cialis needs to be handled before it becomes serious.
What I Did

  • I sliced up the potato : It really depends on you what shape you want. Most times I do wedges but this time I felt like doing thin slices.
  • I cut up the carrots, green pepper and garlic.
  • I sprinkled the pork chop with a combination of barbecue spice/black pepper/salt/ginger powder
  • I put the potato and vegetables in a roast pan, sprinkled them with black pepper and a dash of olive oil. Then I put the pork chop on top of the mixture. I got this idea of cooking everything together from Kenyan food blogger Jasmine’s Instagram page “Cooking with Jaz” .
  • I put everything in the oven and set it on grill.
  • I left it in there for 12 minutes. I went in a few times to turn over the food so that both sides should be cooked.

Tips

  • Don’t leave it cooking and move away. Keep checking on it. Pork cooks quite fast and might vary due to varied thickness.
  • If you want the carrots to still be crunchy then remove them earlier than the other stuff. It’s easy when they are few.
  • I cover the roast pan with foil because I’m lazy i don’t want to wash a very dirty pan. You might want to do that too.
  • Use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge.
  • Use whatever you have in your fridge as a dip. I used a mustard sauce that I don’t even remember buying.

This all took a short time and I was out of the kitchen and back to my work in no time. It’s so easy to prepare.
