Right
now, I’m not lucky enough to have the space for a vegetable garden,
though it is a top priority for the future. I am however lucky enough
to be able to go to the farmer’s market and get really wonderful
produce there. This time of year I don’t really cook from recipes, I
generally just kind of throw the veggies I have together with my
favorite herbs and spices and it always turns out good. Last night I
really wanted some pasta primavera, but I wondered if I could pull off
the effect without having any actual pasta. It was a great success! So
here’s just one example of an easy way to enjoy Summer’s bounty!
You can use most any veggies you have on hand. In this instance I used:
Garlic Chop up your veggies in nice chunks, add to a non stick skillet and stir fry with a dash of olive oil until tender-crisp. When the vegetables are nearly cooked add your herbs, don’t add them before as that will blacken them and they will lose flavor as well. Use your favorite herbs. My favorite mix is Herbs de Provence or I will sometimes just go with some rosemary, thyme, oregano, and a bit of pepper and salt. Dill is also great. Dish up and sprinkle with some of your favorite cheese. I prefer feta, parmesan, or a good strong cheddar. If you like you can serve with pasta or rice. Also good with naan bread on the side. Enjoy!            |
