Things are settling down at FAR Manor, so with any luck I can join in the fun here a little more often. I’ll be posting this recipe to my blog with a picture later this evening.
It could use some mushrooms, but otherwise it turned out better than I expected! Chuck that sodium packet in the trash and see what’s possible. As with all my “CubeDweller” recipes, all of the ingredients can be stored in a file cabinet or other dry place (no refrigeration required).
CubeDweller Vegetable(plus) Ramen Soup
4 c. water
6 sun-dried tomatoes, broken
4 pearl onions, peeled and quartered
1 clove garlic, diced
Herbs (substitute as you please, this is what I used but would have added basil if I had some):
1 sage leaf
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3/4 tsp. chives, chopped
1 large parsley leaf
pinch of salt
1 tsp. olive oil
1 packet ramen
(optional) Protein source of choice, cooked if necessary (I used a tin of sardines packed in water)
Put tomatoes, onions, garlic, sage, marjoram, pepper, olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of water in a microwave pot. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Stir. Add ramen, protein source if desired, and remaining water; microwave on high for 2 more minutes. Garnish with chives and parsley.
Serves two with a side dish, or one if you’re hungry.
It is good to see you again FARfetched! Thank you so much for posting these cube dweller recipes. Although I am not a cube dweller, I know they are very helpful to all the people who are. Do not be deceived because I enjoy teasing you about your predeliction for canned seafood crime.
I am very aware of what a valuable resource you are building with these recipes.
And I myself made a tuna fish salad today. With apple, onion, salt, pepper, a bit of curry powder, African cayenne, and yes, mayonnaise.
