chicken and veggie stir fry with sesame tahini

I threw this together on a whim late last night because Vicky and Shannon were over and yap yap yapping about how hungry they were. FIRST of all I need to say that everyone should have a jar of sesame tahini on a shelf in their kitchen- nothing else could have pulled this together better. WELL, in a large pan coated with olive oil I threw in half a chopped red onion, one chili, a fistfull of frozen corn and a fistful of frozen soy beans. While that was sitting over medium heat I cut a large chicken breast into tini bite-sized pieces then added that to the mix with about 2 large handfuls of raw snow peas. Now on high heat, stirring almost constantly, I added two tablespoons of sesame tahini, a few splashes of worcestershire sauce and a sprinkle of salt. Let that cook for only a few minutes until the chicken is done, plate and serve. It was SO SO SO good (and healthy!) , it took only a few minutes to make and was a great spicy late night dinner for 3 with enough for lunch the next day.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
