YOUR NEXT MISSION:
Who doesn’t enjoy a warming one-pot meal, from Grandma’s trusty casserole recipe to ramen at a trendy izakaya? Your mission this week is to celebrate the simplicity and satisfaction of an alltime favourite single-pot meal. Whether you’re gaga for goulash, crazy for congee or go silly for chili, don’t just sit there stewing: Stir it up and share with your fellow Gastroposters.

Looking for a warming weekday meal you can prepare by the batch? You could try this quick tofu cauliflower korma, which first-time Gastroposter Allison Day shared to complete the mission. To see the recipe, check out her blog at yummybeet.com. There, she promises to make a believer of the tofu and cauliflower skeptics out there. Anyone up for the challenge? Or do you also have a one-pot recipe of your own to share?
