Yesterday I went to Angela's cookie exchange and she was singing me praises. She was impressed how I can open my refrigerator, see what's inside and invent a meal. Tonight, I did just that.
A few days ago I gave pork another try, and although it wasn't horrible, it wasn't stellar. I decided to put the rest of the cooked pork chops through my food processor's shredding blade. Carrots and cabbage met the same faith.I then sauteed the pork, cabbage and carrots together in some olive oil, salt, sweet chili sauce, a bit of sesame oil (very little!), soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
The mixture tasted, but I needed a vessel for it. I did not have tortillas or wanton wraps, but I had 4 portobello mushrooms! I removed the stems and black gills from the mushrooms: vessels ready.
I then broiled the mushroom caps drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt for 5 minutes, and then filled them with cabbage, pork, and carrot combo, but still there was something missing: CHEESE! Luckily, I had a chunk of cheddar in the refrigerator!I really liked the combination of flavors! Tomorrow I might buy some pre-made wanton wrappers and make little wantons with the leftover filling.

Give her a roll of duct tape, some ricotta cheese and a shoe string, and she can whip up a nine course meals with wine pairings ;)
