the peppers meet their maker :-)

edenfallingToday I picked my remaining two bell peppers and made stir fry for dinner. This involved both peppers (as you can see, they were pretty small. very cute! but small), half an onion, half the squash, one third of the chicken (aka, two boneless thighs -- dark meat all the way, baby!), and a handful of spinach leaves. I think on Friday I will buy a red bell pepper at the grocery store and do it all over again, since I will be eating the rest of the current stir fry Wednesday and Thursday... and maybe Friday lunch, too, depending. Stir fry makes a lot of leftovers.
I think next time I should add some black pepper to the mix, or maybe cook with soy sauce instead of the salad dressing -- the end product is just a little sweeter than I prefer. Possibly this is because of the onion; a red onion might produce a sharper flavor. *ponders options*
I have no recipe as such, but my method is to add the ingredients in the following order: first onions, then peppers, then squash, then chicken, and finally spinach at the very end so it cooks just enough to wilt. The mushiness of the vegetables is intentional. I like my onions and peppers very thoroughly cooked, thanks ever so.
For those who may be curious, the bread is sourdough bought from Collegetown Bagels, because why the hell not. :-)

Date: 2013-09-25 04:51 pm (UTC)I imagine the squash plus the onions gave it the sweet; both of those tend to sweeten on cooking. Soy, or maybe chipotle powder if you want to go a spicy route, could definitely cut that some. Or just garlic salt!
