Pantry Quest Day 10

March 4th, 2012 at 10:47 pm

I skipped reporting in on a couple of days. We had tacos on one of them and take out on the other. Take out kind of defeats the purpose, but meals out don't come out of the same money as the grocery budget. Still, I was hoping to avoid it. Sometimes we give in though, and I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

Today I am making a pot roast from the freezer in the crockpot. We will have the last of the Florida corn and some leftover cole slaw and green beans. Maybe mashed potatoes and gravy, too, if I can convince someone else to peel them. My left hand hurts too much for that today (arthritis).

I am thinking about making chicken saltimbocca tomorrow. I saw the recipe on SBTV and it is very simple. I would substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs for the breast meat because that is what I have, but basically it's the chicken and you put a sage leaf on it and then wrap it in prosciutto, dredge it lightly in flour and fry it in a bit of e.v. olive oil. Then you take a bit of white wine (3/4 cup) and chicken broth (1/2 cup) to deglaze the pan and reduce it by 3/4 and pour it over the chicken. I would just use chicken broth as DS is allergic to grapes and thus wine.

I have some dried sage leaves and can take some prosciutto out of the freezer to thaw. The recipe calls for fresh sage, but now is not the time of year to harvest sage leaves from the plant. It could damage it in such cold weather. And if I don't have the prosciutto, but I think I do, I can use regular bacon or even turkey bacon instead without changing it too much.
