It's ELECTION DAY! I hope everyone gets the chance to Vote! Its almost surreal to think that in 1918, women were holding signs on election day that read.."We want the right to vote!" and today women are holding signs that read the name of their favorite candidate whom they are voting for!
To help Brad and I get over our Monday blues...I decided to attempt a dish for dinner last night that I have never tried to cook before! I called it..."Put Your Blues Away Puttanesca!"
To start, fill a pot up with water, salted and heat on medium to begin the boiling process. In another pan, drizzle in OO and place in
4 or 5 chicken tenders seasoned with a little salt and pepper only. Begin to cook the chicken so that the outside begins to brown. In a Wok pan (featured in the picture...the big silver one)...drizzle down some OO and place chopped onions, green bell peppers, frozen corn bits, garlic, red pepper flakes, pepper, salt, and oregano. Keep the heat on medium and begin to saute all your veggies. Once your chicken is 95% cooked, place tenders in the Wok pan with your veggies (the chicken will fully finish cooking in the wok). Now add your penne pasta to your boiling salted water for about 10 minutes or until al dente.
Meanwhile, in a mini chop, take a piece of multigrain bread, a little Parmesan cheese and oregano.....and chop together until fine formed bread crumbs are made. Remove crumbs from mini chop and place in a pan with some OO, heat on medium..constantly stirring the crumbs until they look crispy...then re
move from heat.
Continue stirring the chicken around with the veggies in the wok pan. Then add in sun dried tomatoes to the wok pan. Ive found that sun dried tomatoes cook up fast, which is why I add them now. Put the heat on low. Once your pasta is done, drain and add to the wok pan as well. Stir the chicken, penne and all your veggies together....adding a hint of OO to the mixture. Lastly, add in a few spinach leafs...stir again, and your done!
Place chicken, pasta and veggie mixture on a plate. Top with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. The picture, shows the finished product, which looks so yummy, and it was!! Now traditionally Puttanesca dishes are really spicy, or contain plump tomatoes. I decide
d to use sun dried tomatoes and an Olive Oil, Parmesan flavoring. Brad really loved this dish, and so did I. And if your wondering...it did take away our monday night blues!!!
This dinner was so good, that it gave us a little extra energy to finally put the second coat of paint on our spare bedroom....something that we have been putting off for weeks now!! Well......Election night for me...is like the Oscars!! I will be glued all night! Happy Tuesday!
