Pot Cupboard
What should I take to a pot luck dinner?
I’m not a great chef, I’m on a tight budget and we can only be there for an hour and a half – don’t want to turn up empty-handed but also don’t want to spend an hour or two making something!
Was thinking of making couscous but don’t know how to make it interesting. Any other ideas? Preferably from the kind of things I might already have in the cupboard!
Sounds like you need a good salad recipe (couscous salad takes a long time to make, because it needs to be chilled). If you’ve got fruit lying around, cut those up and mix them up. All fruit tastes good together. If you’ve got lettuce, tomato, carrot, avocado, cucumber, or bell peppers (walnuts might be nice), it’s the same principle. Chop it up and mix. Add a little vinegar and olive oil and you’re good to go. (I make my own kind of dressing which is good quality dijon mustard and olive oil mixed together, it’s got a bit more of a kick.) With salads you can be creative, add whatever you like. Just be sure to taste before adding an ingredient.
Finally, what I enjoy making, eating, and sharing the most is my apple pie. Very easy, and it requires practically nothing to make. 2 cups of flour, 1 stick of butter, pinch of salt. Mix this, and add water as needed to make the dough elastic. Flatten the dough and place in pie pan. Slice apples (preferably golden) and place on top. Finally, sprinkle on some Cinnamon. Bake on 375 degree oven for a little under an hour, so that the crust is golden but still soft. It will continue to self cook once it’s left the oven, so don’t wait till its just right.
