The Lazy Cook

What's the best thing since sliced bread? Well for me, top of the list would be Easy Onions. If you've not already come across these, they are chopped and fried onions in a tin. You may have to search for them, but more and more supermarkets are now beginning to stock them, and they are a boon. For any recipe which calls upon you to chop and fry onions until they go soft and translucent, you can simply open the tin and there they are - just need warming up. Another little gem is ready-crushed frozen garlic - have a look in the freezer section of your supermarket. The sort I use is by Fullers Foods, but I think there are other producers. If a recipe calls for garlic, just chuck a handful in. I'm all for the easy life!
