Ok lunch today, took 31 minutes, from preparation of ingredients, cooking time, to plate
Secret Ingredients:
chicken cutlets
chicken thighs, deboned & skin removed
Panko Japanese breadcrumbs (the one that's used for Tonkatsu)
2 eggs
Salad
kirbies & tomatoes (just picked up from farmer's market real cheap)
Kasha (buckwheat)
1 cup of buckwheat kernels (also called kasha)
1 small onion
2 mushrooms
1 carrot
some parsley chopped fine
ok let's get down to serious biz here
for the kasha Italian style, I chopped the onion, parsley, carrot, mushrooms
then I sauted the whole thing in olive oil
then I used a cup of buckwheat (1 part buckwheat & 2 parts water)
add salt to taste, or you can add a vegetable or chicken bouillon (which is tastier, but i was out of them)
when the water start to boil, lower heat to low (simmer), cover and cook for 20 minutes (just like rice)
for the chicken cutlets, i beat 2 eggs
got the Panko breadcrumbs ready in a plate
breaded them
and into the pan
turnning over a few times, cooking initially on high heat, than lowering it a bit, so it doesn't burn and cooks thru
Kasha is looking good
cut up tomatoes & kirbies, seasoned with olive oil & balsamic vinegar and a bit of salt
remove chicken and drain on paper towels
Kasha is done!
voila, lunch is served my friends
