Monty Python Time

 

See!

 

I do make things that aren't sweet. 

 

Banh Mi Panzanella

 

I've been trying to be more...eh, I hate the word 'mindful'. More aware of what's existing in our kitchen - the cupboards, fridge and freezers. What's sitting there, not being used?

A can of this, a packet of that. What can I do with it?

 

A small thing, but there was a container of tofu, from a dish I ended up not making due to a time crunch. 

Matt loves Southeast Asian flavors.

Leading to this simple Banh Mi Panzanella. 

Let a baguette go stale (instead of oops...forgetting about it!). Cut up & marinate some tofu (since I already had a pot of oil from a previous dinner, I deep-fried rather than doing it in a shallow pan). 

There's a dressing, a bit of veg & herb, and a spicy mayo. 

It's pleasant & low effort, perfect for this time of year when it feels like you've walked into a sauna as you step outside.
