Well Fed, Flat Broke: One Pot Sausage And Brown Rice Pilaf
Fast forward three years and a bit, and family dinners are a thing we’re still trying to get right. We sit at the table! But I’ve let go of some of the idyll I’d once hoped for. I didn’t expect there to be so much bargaining, or such devastation. And oh my god, so much fart-related discourse. But we are making progress. After serving the dish that follows, I presented Toddler with his plate and he offered his usual objections: “I like Honeycombs! Honeycombs cereal please, mum.†But then he looked closer. “I like hot dogs, mum! Thank you!â€
This is not hot dogs. And I know we’re not supposed to lie to them (for reasons I still don’t really understand), but it’s hardly lying to call a sausage a hot dog, is it? Whatever. Maybe I’ll get my money’s worth with that book when he and his father are older.
Recipe perks: gluten- and soy-free (check the label on your sausages and chicken stock to be sure), whole grain, high fibre. This is best with a Dutch oven or other heavy, oven-safe pot with a tight-fitting lid.
