Dishin' in Montclair: Jennifer Levine
whipping up a quick, healthy dinner, often from leftover vegetables, grains and protein
Today on Dishin' in Montclair, we have the lovely and talented artist, Jennifer Levine. See how she whips up a quick, healthy dinner, often from leftover vegetables, grains and protein, for herself and her daughter when she arrives home from work each night.
Also, make sure to comment answering her art quiz question. One additional hint that is not in the video is that the artist frequently shows her work on the cover of the New Yorker Magazine. Good luck!

1/2 cup corn, frozen or preferably cut off the cob, already cooked
1-2 diced carrots1/2 cup leftover cooked brown rice, bulgar, quinoa or barley
olive oil for cooking
4 or so oz. protein, leftover chicken, sliced or thawed, frozen salmon -or both!
salt and pepperhot sauce
In a medium sized skillet, heat up a tsp or two of olive oil. When hot, add minced garlic and stir for a minute or two but don't let it burn. Add the carrots and stir for a couple of minutes. Add the cabbage and corn and then the leftover protein-chicken or fish. Stir for a few minutes until hot.
If fish is uncooked, cook up separately in a bit of olive oil in a skillet. Cook for a few minutes on one side, flip and cook a few more minutes on the other side until opaque in the center.
Add fish to the cabbage mixture, add salt and pepper to taste and a little hot sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
