Dinner, alas
Dec. 15th, 2008 10:46 pmI was not in the mood to pander to my family's tender sensibilities about what foods they will or will not eat.
So: dinner. An experiment. A winter stew made with onions (yes, gasp! onions! although I cut the amount in half) brussel sprouts, fennel, butternut squash, tenderly simmered in a mixture of broth and hard cider. Add in kidney beans and apples, balsamic vinegar and honey near the end, and when they are heated through, serve. Did my family eat it? Ha! I laugh you to scorn. Of course they did not. It was fearfully healthy, and quite delicious so why on earth should they eat it? It will doubtless be my lunch for the rest of the week.
Edited to add: Recipe is here, for the people who asked.
