Default Basic vegetable stirfy

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1 cup cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces
½ cup snow peas
1 large carrot, cut into bit size pieces
1 cube vegetable boullion
2-3 garlic cloves (finely diced)
6 tbs water

Directions:

Lightly spray a large wok or deep frying pan with cooking spray. Add garlic to pan and saute the garlic until softened.

Add the 6 tablespoons of water to softened garlic along with the boullion cube . Once the boullion is dissolved start adding the vegetables in the order of time needed to cook each - cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, snow peas, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are “tender crisp” or to your
own taste.

If the vegetables need more cooking time you can add a few tablespoons of water to the pan/wok and left to cook a little longer if desired. If there is any water leftover then it may be discarded and a little low-sodium soya sauce or teriaki sauce (to taste) can be stirred into the vegetables.

Serve over hot rice or soba noodles.

(Okay so it serves 2 - so invite a friend over for dinner or have the leftovers for lunch the next day )

Default Basque Salad

1 red pepper
1 small tomato
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 or 3 slices of wholewheat toast

Remove the seeds and pith (white part) of the red pepper and slice into 4 pieces.

Place the slices of pepper in the oven under the broiler and grill until the skin blisters and turns black, moving around once or twice for even blackening effect.

Remove the pepper slices from the oven and let cool slightly. Then run the peppers under cool water and remove the skins. Once the skins have been removed slice the peppers into thin strips and chill in the refridgerator for 30 minutes.

While the peppers are cooling, scald the tomato in hot water and then remove the skin and then cut the tomato into thin slices.

In a small bowl mix together the oil, cider vinegar, tomato paste, garlic salt and fresh ground pepper.

Toast the wholeweat bread to your own liking.

Place the pepper strips and then the tomato slices on top of the pieces of toast then spoon the dressing over it all.

Default Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers

(originally posted by TobeyToe)

makes 2 servings

2 large firm red peppers
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 large clove of garlic, chopped
1/3 cup long-grain rice
1 tsp ground cumin
2/3 cup water
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/3 cup FF or LF Feta cheese (optional)

Preheat broiler. Place peppers on a sheet pan and broil about 8 inches from the heat source, turning as they blister to roast on all sides. This should take 20 - 25 minutes. Remove and cool.

While peppers are roasting, cook onions with some cooking spray in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until wilted. Add the garlic and stir for a minute. Add the rice and cumin and toss to combine in skillet. Pour in water and season with salt. Cover the skillet, lower heat, and cook rice until tender (if you are not sure of the timing - refer to the instructions on the box/bag
of rice). All of the liquid should be absorbed. Remove from heat, mix in dill, parsley, and Feta (if using) and season to taste with salt and pepper (Note: if you are using Feta you may want to pass on the salt).

When peppers have cooled slightly, cut off their stems. Peel way their papper skins carefully so as not to tear the underlying flesh (this can be messy - so I normally get hubby to help here ) and reserve all their juices. Slit them once vertically and scrape out their seed with a spoon.

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray an ovenproof glass baking dish with cooking spray. Divide the rice mixture between the the peppers and fold close (if you can - I normally find they are so full that I just leave them lying flat - this is okay). Place side by side in the baking dish, seam side up (if you get them to close!) and pour the reserved juice over them. Cover dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 - 30 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.

mauvaisroux, you are awsome!!! I live alone and it's a pain to have to try and guess all the time the measurements for cutting down a recipe to 1 serving.

I'll try to post some that I've collected and are vegan.
