Sunday Night Eats

One of the many things I really enjoy is cooking. Not quite as much as eating, but I do enjoy the culinary arts. I am generally lazy so the meals I make are often very simple. I also tend to have a short attention span and not really what you'd call a detail oriented person so my dishes are mostly just a vague outline and change a bit every time.

Lisa is the baker in our house. Baking requires strictly following a recipe. One level tablespoon is apparently a precise measurement (who knew?). Cook at 350° for twenty minutes means cook at 350° for twenty minutes. Lisa can do this and she makes some truly wonderful cakes and pies.

That's not my thing though. I'm so much a bit of this, bit of that cook. And, if I say so myself, it works out pretty darn well. Of course if you're dining with us and I'm cooking something new, please tell me what isn't alright about it. Compliments are great and all but tell me how I can make it better okay?

So all of this is leading up to something. Once a week, or until I forget, Sunday night I'll be sharing one of our recipes with everyone. Sharing what's going on in the Schutte house is what we're here for and food is always a popular topic with us. So here we go.

Tom's Mediterraneanan Chili

1 can Goya Black Beans
1 can petite diced tomatoes
8 oz Feta cheese
2 oz shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup olive oil
½ cup diced Kalamata olives
1 lime

Drain and rinse the black beans, drain the excess liquid from the tomatoes and put them in a bowl, probably a big bowl.
Crumble in the feta cheese.
Add Parmesan cheese - don't be a cheapskate and get Kraft stuff. That's fine on popcorn but come on now this is a meal.
Add the oil and olives.
slice the lime squeeze the juice from one half into the stuff, save the other half.
mix it all together.
cover it up and put it in the fridge for the night (you weren't planning on eating it right away were you?)
Next day squeeze the other half of the lime on the mixture and give it a good stir.
Serve it up wrapped in a tortillas like a burrito or just on the side or on noodles whatever suits you. It goes well with a glass of Shiraz or Merlot but then again what doesn't?

So blog-kin and friends next Sunday share one of your recipes or if you like post one in the comments below.
Happy eating.
