Breakfast Scrap

Yesterday, we had scrap for breakfast.


There was nothing left in our freezer (a good sign, we don't have any excess at home) yesterday morning so I had to open a can of Vienna sausage. These cans are normally our 'emergency food': we don't touch them unless we have to (I usually hide them from Pogiji though because he likes to eat them canned goodies despite strict instructions from me not to touch them for they are, like I said, emergency food. Ergo, for EMERGENCY ONLY. Sigh, boys talaga).

Anyway, since I had no choice but to serve the canned sausages, I had to do something to them to make them matino. Something had to offset the nitrite. So I poked my head inside our refrigerator and went through the remaining vegetables: we still had one bell pepper, some carrots and button mushrooms. Nice. Substantial enough.

So I sliced one red onion and sauteed it in olive oil. Then I added the sausages and the mushrooms. A minute later I added the cubed carrots. Then I seasoned the mixture with paprika. Mixed them in the pan. I added the bell pepper last and seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.

Voila! Breakfast Scrap :)

pareho laman ng ref natin!
every week on my shopping list are mushrooms, bell peppers (red, yellow and green in a pack) and brocolli, walang absent, on top of the usual onions and garlic. ^-^

ang aming emergency food ay canned tuna in sunflower oil. ito naman, dapat itago ni kj sa akin, because i can finish a can before i can cook it decently.

I had vienna sausages last week. Garandee served me some steamed rice and an apple for breakfast kase. Yes, ulamin ko na lang daw yung apple.
A can of vienna sausages saved the day.

I don't like canned food too, except Spam, Bacon please. But like you, we do have some in stock for emergency, and I would only eat them if they'd at least been "warmed" or transformed into something like this.
Good job, as always!
