Now that's what I call a TV dinner...

Jalapeno-veggie cornbread with mushroom-chicken 'stroganoff'

mmm... i love me a tasty cornbread!

Cornbread:
finely dice 1 large onion, 1 medium carrot finely diced, a 1/2 c of corn
-sautee onions and carrot till soft and starting to carmelize (set aside to cool a tad)
-over a bit higher heat, sautee the corn to get slightly golden and more flavor

chop some jarred-pickled jalapeno slices (to spiciness desired)
In another bowl:
~1-1.5 c cornmeal
~ 3/4 c flour
~ 2 tsp baking powder
~ 1 tsp salt
~ some seasoning (pepper, garlic powder, paprika,
chopped chives
(mix)
Then whisk in :
2 eggs, 1/3 c olive oil, ~1.5 c milk
Pour into pan
( I topped mine with a sprnkling of grated Sbrinz :) )

I put some in muffin cups, some in a big cake-pan... bake at 180C/375F till starting to golden brown.

"Stroganoff" ingredients:
* 1/2-lb chicken
* 2 onions
* 1/2-lb mushrooms
* red wine
* boullion
* something to thicken (eith erflour, starch)
* more seasoning!
perfect accompaniament to the movie "Iron Man" on that night :)
