Good afternoon hungry people! I made the tastiest and easiest (though could be even easier) dinner last night that was pretty healthy!
Aidelle's Chicken and Mango Sausages with sweet peppers and onions, in TJ's Korma Sauce
Quinoa and Wax beans.

I started by frying up the peppers and onions in olive oil over medium high heat to brown them, but keep them crisp. Then I threw in the sausages that I had sliced up into rounds. Looking back, it may be advisable to empty the peppers/onions out of the pan before frying up the sausages to keep the peppers crisp, then adding them back in after the sausage is as done as you like it. Then pour some of the Korma Sauce in on it all and let it simmer for a few minutes.
That's it for that part.

The quinoa I always do from scratch and it is so easy and so much better than box mixes. I saute some onions, celery, stuff like that in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until they're softened, then add in the quinoa and fry up for a few minutes until it starts to pop a little bit (not quite like popcorn, but they jump around a little) then add in just a little more than 2:1 amount of chicken stock (just like doing rice, but I like my quinoa a little wetter so I make it just a little more than the rice ration). Last night I threw in a handful of dried currants which added tiny little pockets of sweetness. Some salt, pepper, and an herb mix, covered and simmered. It's done when the little germ comes unwrapped from the grain and there are little curly q's mixed in with the grain.

The wax beans just got blanched, drained and a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper.

It was all super tastey and super easy. I was able to keep all three things going and cook something separate for the kids. I work as a chef/nanny/housekeeper, so quick, easy, and healthy are priorities in this kitchen. You could make prep easier by buying already cut/diced onions, peppers, stuff like that.

If any of you like the sound of the quinoa, I have other things to flavor it with that you would normally discard from other foods, like butternut squash insides. Stuff like that. I'm happy to tell all!
Cheers and bon appetit!
