Schlop = my general approach to cooking.
You make some kind of base food. Potatoes, noodles, rice. And then make some sort of stewy sauce to schlop on said base food.
At our house we usually eat rice.
If you've ever talked to Cori for 5 minutes you know he kind of has a thing for Japan. So while I do not by any means cook 'Japanese' food, I'd say about 70% of the food that we eat is Asian-ISH.
The greatest benefit I've found to this style of cooking is that besides the rice cooker, which can be wiped clean at the end, it usually only requires a cutting board, knife and one pot.
Limited dishes, I like.
I also like that because we're pouring 'it' on rice, we use less meat.
For example, my meatloaf schlop to feed 12 people only uses a 1.5 lbs of ground meat.
for 12 people!
That is so cheap!
And it only takes 1 hour to make enough for everyone.
That is so fast!
Do you see that I am cheap and lazy?

Recently (like in the last 5 days) I've experimented with new schlopish foods. Like our lunch today, which I am going to call 'Crazy Noodle Lasagna'
Just looks like regular lasagna being eaten by a child.
But it's not.
That look me 15 minutes to make, not county the noodle cooking time (so 25 minutes).
And I didn't have to cut it up or cook it in the oven.
I might never make regular lasagna again.
Go Schlop!
ps. Same meat rule applies... I only used 3 table spoons (yes I know that is a weird way to measure meat) of ground pork and served 5 people.

Quick and simple is the way I like to do it too. I also love using my crock pot as well. I love doing rice, as I do have a rice cooker too, and I prefer rice rather than potato's.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to give us your recipe???
ReplyDeleteI broke regular lasagna noodles into pieces, boiled them. pan fried the meat added a cup of Prego and when those were done I mixed them with a cup of cottage cheese and fed it to them.
