When you have multiple mouths to feed, there will be no one mix of ingredients that’ll satisfy everything. So when you’re making a summertime meal and have access to decently large grill, it’s easy to just prep ingredients and let everyone choose their own mix. It’s also really easy way to cook.
While I kind of like Sushi, I can’t really be called a sushi-lover since I don’t like almost any traditional sushi fillings. However I was thinking about making sushi with my choosing of ingredients. It had to be tested beforehand though, so I though I’d make a decent meal out of the test.
I mentioned earlier that I like using one ingredient, but many variants? Did I also mention that I adore onions. I’ve always loved them. Fried, boiled, baked, raw. Doesn’t matter, I’ll eat it if it’s onion. So naturally I had to make a separate dish out of them.
This is a two, or three-part recipe, but trust me, it’s easy and was definitely worth it!

I enjoy using one type of ingredient in multiple varieties in one dish. I’ve used onions for this for a really long time. When I was shopping one time looking at different potatoes I remembered that what we here call ‘Bataatti’ is in fact called a ‘sweet potato’ in English. So I decided to make a soup where the main ingredients would be different potatoes.
Okay that title might be going a bit too far, but that essentially is what these are, or at least look alike. So. There are like bazillion sweet snacks out there, candies, chocolate, cookies, etc, etc. But the amount of salty snacks are really limited. I was trying to figure out what to do when I want something salty to snack on.
So one day I was planning our meals and I found out that not only did I have one packet of pre-marinated chicken strips that should be made that day, I had three. Cue frantic “oh crap what do I do with this much chicken I can’t just fry them all I should make something easier with it heck why didn’t I notice earlier..” Well, you get the point. Thankfully I love soup and I’m even not the only one. So I grabbed a bunch of veggies and a pot…
So. I’ve done meatloaf like a thousand times in my life. I think it was my father who taught me this “recipe”. I’ll say this with stretching it a bit since three ready-to-made ingredients and stick into an oven is not that much of a recipe 🙂 But with the basic recipe so simple, I’ve experimented with it a dozen time over. I’ll give you a couple of the better modifications.
So, I was craving something hot and brought some fresh chilies from the grocery store. These were store-brand long-ish red chilies so I thought they’d be close to Red Thai, Fresno or Jalapeño. (spoiler: they weren’t). So I thought I’d cook up a small patch of delicious onions with garlic and chili.
So. I was making veggie broth and I was going to throw away the vegetable mash that had been squished for all the liquids. But, I don’t want to throw anything up and I was suggested to try to use it with buns.
