Always before when I’ve cooked with this gadget, it yells at me, “FOOD BURN” and I have to scramble over to scrape, swear, and potentially dump everything into a soup pot while I clear out the bottom of the pot. However, this recipe cooked without a hitch!
This is not to say there is no room for improvement. Especially with my habits.
Some day, I swear, I will prep all my ingredients before the oil in the pan starts smoking. The next lofty goal will be to have all the prep done before heating the pan itself. These are easy targets that I hope to someday achieve. This will avoid the hectic spectacle of me panicking while the oil is burning and the veggies need to be tossed in, but the turkey still isn’t cut up, and weren’t there spices involved in this?
Yeah, prep really ought to be done before hand. I’d like to have an cooking experience where all I need to do is calmly follow instructions. Instead of feverishly stirring and slicing simultaneously, while trying not to get meat juice on the counter.
- Notes to self:
- Those potatoes dissolved by the end of all my stirring. Either cut them bigger or pick a different potato.
- The carrots were good, could use more.
- Use the entire onion – it didn’t make that much of a difference.
- 1 cup of veggies each? Pfft. See above.
- DO NOT BOIL WITH COCONUT MILK.
