One-"pot" (frying pan) meal

Quick, easy, efficient cooking means using a minimum of pots and pans. The classic "one-pot" meal is a stew with meat or poultry and various vegetables all stewed or roasted together. I don't make it much, since I don't like my vegetables overcooked and fatty. The closest thing I do to that is my "left-over special" when I cook up an already cooked piece of chicken with freshly sliced squash and onion.

One favorite in my house, especially loved by the trekker, is made in a frying pan, generally a nice big one, and you must have a cover for it.

• cut up some onion
• squash
• and potato
• garlic, too
• and other vegetables, if you want
• put it all in the frying pan
• with some oil
• cover and cook until it's ready
• stirring occasionally
• then top with
• an egg, or two per serving
• and optional cheese
• cover again for a couple of minutes
• turn off the heat
• and let it finish cooking
• serve with salad (optional--though I eat salad with everything) and
• freshly ground pepper, if you have
• and salt if you insist

The perfect food for any meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner!

ps I never use Teflon pans. I love the crispness of the food cooked in a good stainless steel frying pans, and I don't think all that Teflon is healthy.
