My favorite quick meal is an omelet with Canadian bacon, green onions,peppers, mushrooms and cheese. Serve with good bread. A baked potato in the microwave or beginning now corn on the cob. Fast and good!
A couple of nice seasoned filets on the grill, cherry tomatoes sprinkled lightly with sea salt and olive oil and popped in the oven to roast, and fresh greens/scallions from the garden. Fast and yummy!
exactly–a beautiful roast chicken takes little work, but you wait 60-75 min while it roasts. You looking for prep time or total start to eat time?
The real 15 minute meal comes from the leftover chicken which can easily be heated into a saute of onions and mushrooms and poured over pasta, farro, arugula, etc. Add a little vinaigrette, some blueberries, shaved asparagas, parmesean and viola a great meal appears. Or open a can of black/refried beans, green chiles, cilantro and put on a corn tortilla with a little bit of jalapeno jack cheese. The trick is having these things available.
