Cooking during this shelter in place order brings unique circumstances. From when, where and how often you procur your food, to using it up, repurposing your leftovers and most of all wanting to eat your own cooking every day. Have you ever cleaned the kitchen so much in one day or cooked so much in your life? Even if you're not broke or sick, we're all spending more time in that kitchen. You want to use up all your fresh vegetables before they expire, especially since it takes more effort to get them now. I wonder if there will be new, fun recipes created during this time. This meal could qualify. We bought a giant purple cabbage and even though I pickled it, featured it raw in a salad, sauteed it, roasted chunks of it, and now added it in my stir fry, I couldn't use it all. But I gave it my best effort. A modern day stir fry of cauliflower rice, chicken chorizo, jalapeno, cabbage & cilantro. Surprisingly satisfying, and colorful too! Sometimes you have to break tradition in order to use up your goods.
