MANtastic Meals - Part 2

My husband, whether he realises it or not, is a fabulous cook.  I can remember the very first thing we cooked together when we first started ‘dating’.  It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and we were sitting in his backyard enjoying the sunshine, when he noticed a pumpkin that had somehow come over the fence from the neighbor’s veggie patch.  It was still attached and we queried with each other if it was stealing or not it we were to pick it – as technically it was on his property!  After very little debate we decided to acquire the pumpkin and turn it into soup.  We were both excited to have decided on dinner for that evening.  I’m not sure if it was the quality of the pumpkin or the lack of other key ingredients, such as stock, that made it the most offensive pumpkin soup we had ever tasted!  But it was fun and an enjoyable experience, and I had realised that despite this kitchen disaster he did have great cooking potential.

He moved on from the pumpkin soup debacle very quickly and really does enjoy cooking and can cook anything he wants with a marvellous result.   Even though he is the king of the BBQ at our house, he excels in cooking in the kitchen with the mouth-watering steaks, picture perfect stir-fries and his beloved slow cooker meals.

His passion of cooking came through when I sent the shout out for the MANtastic Meals series. I was pleasantly surprised that he was one of the first to respond.  His choice wasn’t what I had expected him to submit but it is a great old faithful from his University years when he was forced to create substantial meals on a shoestring budget with little fuss.  Now it’s something he throws together for our kids when they want a fun and tasty meal or for the adults when we just want something quick and easy and the cupboards are looking a little empty.
