Mediterranean Vegetables


If you love stir-fried vegetables, you'll enjoy Mediterranean Vegetables even more! This recipe is made on your stove top and is delicious as a side-dish, or stirred into cooked pasta for a great, low-calorie vegetarian meal. This will make about 6 servings.

With spring in the air, people are starting to plant their gardens. Just harvest your fresh veggies and herbs, then stir this up. So easy, fresh and delicious.

Ingredients:

2 c. sliced zucchini
2 c. sliced sweet peppers (green, yellow and/or red)
2 c. chopped broccoli
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 T. chopped fresh basil and/or fresh oregano
1/4 t. fresh ground pepper
1/4 c. chicken broth
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
salt to taste

Directions:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine zucchini, peppers, broccoli, garlic, herbs, pepper and broth. Bring to boiling, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in tomatoes at the end. Salt to taste.

For a main dish, add to 2 c. cooked pasta (I prefer whole wheat), add 1-2 T. olive oil and 1/4 c. fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. Hot, for a main dish; cold for a great tasting pasta salad.

Don't you just love fresh veggies?
