Too bored to cook + A bile diet + Hunger.

So, here’s the story people:

  1. I’m done with rice! Really. One more mouthful of rice and I believe I’ll change race!
  2. Even though I am a gourmet kind of person, I just found out that I must have a bile-bladder-ectomy due to massive stone concentration there, which limits my food choices. Therefore, no fats, no butter, no fried yummy stuff, no dairy products, no onion, no garlic, no eggs, no nuts, no chocolate… and the no-list goes on and on…
  3. Have I mentioned that I ‘m usually too bored to cook? Ok. I do cook from times to times but it’s like a whole event where I cook for friends and usually my motive is to impress. In my everyday life I’m lucky enough to live with people that love to cook in a daily basis and are exceptional cooks! That’s good for me because I am extremely bored to cook only for myself.
  4. Before the diagnosis of the above mentioned malfunction I bought a dried mashed potato bag for these days that no one has cooked and I have to feed myself. In normal circumstances I would boil the potatoes, mash them with a little bit of garlic and nutmeg, plus huge amounts of milk and butter, and make my mashed potatoes from scratch, but we are talking about the days where boredom is my master and my feeding procedure mustn’t exceed 5 minutes.
  5. Yesterday, the time I returned home, famine was all over my body and brain screaming (ok I overreact here...) for food! From my quick research I came to the conclusion that I had to cook my meal and here’s what I made!

We shall need:

1 small package of dried potatoes for mashed potatoes.

700 ml of water (or as much water as it needs)

1 ts of nutmeg

1 knor cube

1 tuna can in olive oil

We boil the water and when ready we pour the dried potatoes, the knor cube and the nutmeg in a bowl and stir till its firm and ready. Then, we get rid of the extra oil of the tuna can and poor the tuna in the mashed potatoes. We stir again and ready we are!

It’s simple, healthy, tasty, without milk, butter and garlic and ready in 5 minutes!


Tip: You can add a tablespoon of ketchup in the mixture for the extra taste.
