This week I have decided to put the Economy Gastronomy method to the test. The Economy Gastronomy method is to make one bedrock ingredient then make tumble down meals. I think this will work especially well with my slow cooker so I decided that my bedrock ingredient would be black beans.
Bedrock Recipe – Slow Cooker Black Beans
Monday – Chili and Honey Chicken Legs served with black bean and yellow rice.
Tuesday – Brie and mushroom omelette with salad
Wednesday – Chicken and black bean burrittos – I will use the meat from Monday’s leftover chicken
Thursday – Going to the Big Swish so will take a sandwich to work.
Friday – Huevos Rancheros with some chorizo to make it more dinnery.
By Friday night I will probably have used all the black beans and will probably want something different like kidney beans.
Saturday – Brazilian beef stew with coffee made in the slow cooker. I am going to serve this with mashed sweet potatoes and something green. I could not find a link on line but if you want the recipe drop me a line and I can send it to you.
Happy eating.
Hi, I followed you here from Org Junkie. Great menu plan. I always strive to use as much of the same ingredients as possible. I love cooking with beans. I’d love to have a pressure cooker so that I could cook them in large batches very quickly.
B the way, I would love the recipe for the Brazilian Beef Stew!
Would love the recipe for the Brazilian Beef Stew, pls xx
For all my lovley readers that would like the Brazilian Beef Stew receipe – I am going to test it out this weekend then I will sent it out. I don’t want to give out a bad recipe. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
