I have a surplus of beyond-
One cooked beyond burger, cooked Saturday
One package raw beyond beef thawed Sunday
I’d like to curry the big package which is easy because it’s raw. Hopefully it can wait till tomorrow. The cooked patty is an issue. What can I throw it in?
Would it pick up enough flavour in tacos? Is there an option beyond (hee) pasta sauce? Do I have to just eat it as a burger?
I only eat beyond burgers as burgers out usually, because they are often my only option. I’m not even sure of technique here, but the thing was like $4
Just noticed Isabel Eats (whose recipes I find delicious, authentic, and EASY) has a cooking challenge each month! I think we’re gonna enter. Possible $100 Amazon Gift Card and no social media aspect? Sign me up lol

finishing off the last bit of split chickpeas in bean stock by blitzing it into a butter chicken tomato sauce, and I’ll simmer some paneer in it for dinner tonight (no actual chicken used). Perhaps put it on top of sweet potato home fries.
the blitzed chana butter chicken sauce with paneer was good with fattoush chips from Farm Boy because we got home later than ideal for sweet potato. To be honest, I can’t imagine anything not being good with those chips, and it’s probably a bad idea that we discovered them.
I microwaved my sweet potato (and threw out the other, rotting one) and made up a quick bread. It seemed like it was never going to be cooked otherwise. Chips are always a good carb
fresh tonnarelli (an egg pasta slightly thicker than spaghetti, and squared, not circular)
baby red potatoes
fine herb dressing (dill, chives, egg, oil, lemon juice, salt, green tabasco)
For the baby red potatoes I think I’ll roast them up with some bell pepper, mix it with some feta, have with an egg, mint dressing.
I guess for the herb dressing it could go over green salad, or blistered green beans with soft boiled eggs - any other ideas? (I guess I could use it with the potatoes instead)
I made a lentil & rice dish today, which I have made successfully several times in the past, and it is mushy, and I’m not sure what I did wrong. I haven’t made it in months, so maybe I’d been doing some unwritten step that I’ve forgotten about (overcooked the lentils for sure, but the rice has too much liquid after steaming).
This is my lunch for the next week, so I’m trying to figure out how to salvage it with toppings and adulterations (I have some cooked onions for tradition). I have fresh mint and preserved lemon, so I could do a yogurt sauce. I could try to find a tamarind sauce recipe since I have a block and chutney has worked well in the past. I could do blistered green beans with feta.
I can’t do that kind of mushy often, but one good time included a yogurt adjacent but more pungent sauce, crispy onions and a fried egg with runny yolk. So kind of playing up the creaminess.
Otherwise I’d put it in a pastry or deep fry it or something.
Oh! Maybe this is why a lot of lentil rice recipes have noodles? I will look that up. Adding them at this point seems unwise
I am leading a volunteer event at Ronald McDonald house where we are cooking breakfast for 40-50 people that need to come through quickly. We have an hour to cook and prepare and an hour to serve.
I was thinking breakfast burritos. 3 types: bacon, sausage, and vegan. Maybe something sweet for the side.
I’ll have 5-10 people to help cook.
Ingredients needed: sausage, bacon, beans, tofu, potatoes, eggs, green chili, tortillas, cheese, sour cream, ketchup, premade sweets? Sliced fruit? Juice and milk?
Do you have any ideas for sweets that are breakfast that could come together quickly? I could do cinnamon rolls from a can or get some boxes of donuts or other premade stuff.
No prep is allowed before, it either has to be commercially made food or raw ingredients. I don’t really have a budget since my company is paying for it, probably $500 but I don’t think we will get anywhere close to that.
Does this sound like a good plan? Would you make changes? Ideas for something sweet? I was hoping to accommodate most food allergies. I was thinking if someone needed gluten free we could get them a plate without a tortilla since we serve the whole meal that would be easy. Burritos smothered in green chili is a super common CO breakfast.
