MEAL PAND 1 week + Batch Cooking

This menu goes from Monday to Friday, on Saturday usually we finish the rest of food from week to noon and usually go out in the evening. So no kitchen!

On Sundays, I used to cook a traditional meal. This Sunday I did the ndole , so don't be surprised when you go see this dish in the menu of the week 😉.

The Ndolè is a very popular Cameroonian dish . It is cooked with peanuts and Ndolè leaves. The recipe is not yet on the blog, but I planned to post the recipe in the coming weeks 🙈

While my ndole was simmering in fire, I took the opportunity to start my preparations of the week. I cut all my vegetables that I then kept in small freezing bags to use the next day . I no longer had to make my green seasoning, since I did it last week, which made me save time 😉.

Let's prepare the menus of the week together, we will do three dishes in 40 minutes!

In this menu of the week we will have: 

Batch menu: 3 dishes in 40 minutes

• Sautéed bean
• Nigerian Chicken Fried Rice | chicken fried rice
•  Curry sautéed vegetable 

Preparation to do the day before

1. Boil the beans : you have to soak beforehand in hot water for some time so that the seeds soften before cooking
2. Cook your rice with curcum A: It's very important to have cold rice to succeed in your Fried Rice
3. Cut all your vegetables : carrots, peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms. In short, cut all the vegetables that you plan to cook with
4. Make a green seasoning. For this week I didn't have to do it that in the last batch, I had done enough for 2 weeks. condiments can be kept well for 1 week in the fridge

The recipe is a little different, in Congo we jump the beans with its cooking water and add the oil and the nutmeg during the cooking beans, in short go checker! Or do the Cameroonian version! The 2 recipes are delicious 😊

3. Vegetables sautéed in curry

Ingredients:

• Broccoli
• green bean
• carrots
• zucchini
• mushrooms
• onions, pepper
• curry
• chicken juice
• green seasoning
• tomatoes 

The recipe I am still testing it, suddenly I cannot yet give you the exact recipe, but the principle is super simple: jump the vegetables together in the chicken juice flavored with curry!

I first started by cooking green beans and steam broccoli together, before starting cooking, but it was not a good idea because the broccoli had cooked too much and it was not visible in the sauce. So soon I have to do differently ... In short after the test phase, I will share this delicious little recipe for you 🙂

The 3 meals are cooked. All you have to do is clean the kitchen . As my vegetables were in freezing bags, I had less dishes to do 😂
