I grabbed some pre-cooked Trader Joe's Carnitas and warmed them in big saucepan with some (lightly sauteed in olive oil) onion. Add yummy Trader's tomatillo salsa thinned with a bit of chicken stock and while it cooked with the lid on over a medium to low fire, slowly, I moved on to the veggies.
Chopped cauliflower, carrots, beautiful onions and red turnips tossed with olive oil, a bit of salt and lemon juice and were popped into a 400 degree oven for a bit. For a beautiful roasted cauliflower or broccoli, I love this recipe.
Add the tortilla, creme fraiche (ok, Crema would be good, but this was in the fridge) and salsa and you have a quick, delicious and by no means expected dinner.
The grain? It's quinoa. More on that later. High protein and tasty with a little salsa sauce.
This probably deserves a recipe, but for now: Bon Appetit & Que bueno!
