Sometimes people get stuck in a rut on the side dishes to make. Sometimes they are increasing their vegetable intake for health gains, or to cut weight, or if they are doing a however-many-day-paleo thing. This one got compliments. This one they said, "Blog this one." It is seen in the photo along with my http://feedinggersasser.blogspot.com/2014/03/paleo-salmon-croquettes.html.
I put the following ingredients into a large skillet:
1/4 cup chicken stock (read the ingredients - some stock has a lot of junk...)
1 tsp Garlic Gold oil (garlicgold.com) or 1 tsp coconut oil and 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp smoked sea salt (salttraders.com)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 of a white onion, diced
1 zucchini, cut into chunks
1 sweet green pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks (add a jalapeño if you want, too)
2 banana peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
1/2 of a bunch of asparagus, woody ends discarded, then cut into bite-sized pieces
I cooked this over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring now and then.
When the constantly varied vegetables (lol) were crisp-tender, I added sugar-free pasta sauce (again, read those labels....)
I cooked another 5 minutes, on low heat, to blend the flavors and thicken the sauce.
Good stuff!
The MOVEstories guys got some nice shots when they were here in February - I appreciate them so much!
