Tonight's dinner was decidedly unorganic. I had a grilled pork chop, topped with pineapple-jalepeno sauce, over sauteed greens with onion. Ok the greens were organic. But the pork chop? Just a generic grocery store cut, seasoned with adobo and grilled. The pineapple was out of a can. And the jalepeno? Goya jalepeno sauce, a chunky green concoction I picked up on a whim. I just simmered them together, with some adobo. And since I was going for shortcuts, I thickened the sauce with corn starch because although the pineapple juice reduced, it didn't thicken .
It wasn't organic, but it was good. And really I don't have too many organic choices left. Last week's haul wasn't very big and I've pretty much eaten it all. Whats left is a bunch of potatoes, an onion, a tomato, one clove of garlic and some beet greens. And of course my salad for tomorrow.
Tonight's greens were the last of my kale, from a few weeks ago, and beet greens, cooked in olive oil and butter with some white onion and a clove of garlic. A simple but classic preparation, suitable for all green leaves.
It was a simple quick meal - done in about 15 minutes, and well balanced, and made from what I had on hand, like the half can of pineapple chunks I had to use up.
