PT, and a recipe

[Guest guest]

I'm again a bit late in responding to this. In part that is due to

pc and then internet access problems but also because I am aware

that I too can be pretty frivolous and sometimes completely

inappropriate, so it seemed a bit hypocritical to have said

something. But actually on reflection, I do agree with Sue and I

think that sometimes the recipes do get a bit lost in amongst all of

this. So I challenge you - linda, shawn, cuppa - to each post a

recipe (one that we might consider cooking, LOL)

Here is mine:

 

Vegetables Provençal

 

Serves 4

 

1 onion, sliced

2 leeks, sliced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 green pepper, seeded and sliced

1 red pepper, seeded and sliced

1 yellow pepper, seeded and sliced

350g/12 oz courgettes, sliced

225G/8 oz mushrooms, sliced

400g/14 oz can chopped tomatoes

2 Tbsp ruby port

2 Tbsp tomato paste

1 Tbsp tomato ketchup

400g/14 oz can chickpeas

115g/4 oz/1 cup pitted black olives

3 Tbsp chopped mixed herbs

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

 

Put onions, leeks, garlic, peppers, courgettes and mushrooms into a

large pan. Add tomatoes, port (if using), tomato paste, tomato

ketchup and mix well. Rinse and drain chickpeas and add to the pan.

Cover, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes,

stirring occasionally. Stir in olives and herbs and season if

required.

 

Substitutions:

I misread the recipe – I missed out the port and substituted water

instead. In doing so I completely overlooked the tin of tomatoes.

This made it a very fresh dish, the tomatoes would have added more

sauce to it. I used a mixture of fresh cilantro and chives. It was

really yummy – I made half the recipe and ate it all with some

basmati rice (I had missed out on lunch yesterday and was ravenous).

I would think that it would be a good amount for 4 as a main course

with rice or grain or pasta (or even polenta!)

I have posted plenty of recipes in the vegan way. Whether or not it has made

it to the file section I don't know. I eat simply for the most part, steamed

veggies make up my diet. I only post what I actually cook and eat and enjoy.

One of my recent ones was the vegan enchiladas and my recipe for a denser,

meatier tofu. But I have posted plenty of ideas and recipes. Sorry you

missed that. I know that Shawn is always posting on food issues, note his

pictures, and cuppa too.

I'm sorry that you seem to have missed the point of the challenge,

linda, which was to encourage a few more recipes. I'm also sorry

that I seem to have missed your vegan enchiladas recipe but I will

search the message archives for it now.
