About this ebook
Great home cooked American food for a dollar per serving
The ongoing recession affects most households where it really counts -- right in the pocket. Unemployment, falling wages and rising food prices have caused over ten percent of all American households to claim government food assistance benefits.
In fact, research has shown that it is hard for one in six Americans to put enough food on the family table each day. However, regardless of your financial situation, the chances are high you are looking for ways to cut costs in these uncertain times.
Fortunately, there are many cost-effective and delicious meals that families on a budget can enjoy for less than $1 per serving. And to start you off there are twenty-one new delicious, healthy options included in the first of a new series of easy recipes simply called;
Dollar Dinners
Examples;
Beef & Broccoli Curry
Cost $4 - Feeds Four
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds beef steak
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
three tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped chunky
1 1/2 teaspoons hot (madras) curry powder
Fresh chili to taste
Garlic
1 (14 oz.) can beef broth or one cube
1 (10 oz.) broccoli florets, thawed
1 Potato
1 can of chopped tomatoes
Rice
Prepare
Chop beef into 1 inch cubes and place into a large bowl; add 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp pepper on top. Add flour and stir to coat beef. (Flour also thickens the sauce later)
In a large nonstick pan, heat half of oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and cook, turning once or twice, until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate and repeat using remaining oil and beef cubes.
Add onion, curry powder and remaining salt and pepper to pan and cook, stirring until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add broth or cube (with three mg of water) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, three to four minutes. Return beef to pan and boil, stirring, for two minutes. Add broccoli and potato, both chopped into one-inch cubes, sliced garlic and cook, stirring, for four to five minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef, broccoli and potato and spoon over rice.Delicious
