This means I'd better give you all a few new recipes.

 

(We have a snow day, so I'm home with extra time on my hands and can do

this!)

These are all really easy, vegan, and they use mostly unprocessed

ingredients except for a few cans of vegetables, which can be exchanged

for fresh ones if you like.

 

Cheers,

Alex

3 T. olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

Parmesan cheese (optional)

 

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add garlic, onion, and celery, and

Pepper - Potato Stew (Peperonata)

In a saute pan, heat 1 T. olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally. When peppers start to release

water, in about 5 minutes, add salt, pepper, and cayenne. Continue to

cook until peppers are soft. Meanwhile, heat 2 T. olive oil over medium

heat in a wide saucepan. When oil is hot enough to make a drop of water

sizzle, add potatoes. Cook , turning occasionally, until potatoes are

partially browned. Add pepper mixture, tomatoes, basil, and oregano.

Stir to combine, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Correct seasoning. Serve

hot or at room temperature.
