Super Simple Supper

Last evening I got home after suppertime but was able to have food on the table for the family in about fifteen minutes. Before I left for some errands I put rice in the rice cooker, and that made all the difference.

SUPER SIMPLE SUPPER
For Nutritarians and Those They Love

Rice prepared in rice cooker ahead of time

Three cans black beans
Big dollop of salsa
Sliced lite kielbasa
Diced onion
Diced tomato
Mixture of 2/3 plain nonfat yogurt and 1/3 sour cream

Brown kielbasa slices in a skillet. Combine the cans of beans in a saucepan and add salsa, heating on medium. Meanwhile, dice up onion and tomato (green pepper would be nice, too) and mix yogurt/sour cream topping.

Have diners create their own plates with rice as a base, beans and sausage on the base, and toppings as desired. I used a token amount of rice and mostly beans, with three small sausage slices and lots of tomato and onion, with a squiggle of yogurt/cream on top, and I had a big navel orange on the side.

Verdict: Excellent. Everybody enjoyed it completely, especially as each was able to assemble his or her own plate as desired.
