Do you ever wonder what to do with all of the extra vegetables in your fridge? I often need to clean out before my next CSA is delivered. This week I made a delicious concotion that was similar to a stuffed pepper and thought I would share!
First sautee the vegetables in olive oil. I used light green peppers, green peppers and an jalepeno (basically any peppers you have in the fridge), onion, garlic, and lots of diced tomatoes (I used everything I had, mostly cherry tomatoes)
In another pan I cooked 1 lb ground beef with 1 - 2 T worcestershire sauce and more garlic. This recipe would taste good with any protein, beans, chicken, you name it. But after eating chicken for 5 days I needed red meat :)
And in yet another pan I cooked 1/2 c quinoa with 1 1/4 c water. You cook quinoa like rice, bring the quinoa and water to a boil and then reduce heat and let cook for 10 - 15 minutes. i cook mine until the "eye" pops out but some people like theirs a little more crunchy.
Once everything is cooked add to one pan and let the flavors simmer for about 10 minutes or until you are ready to eat!
I just invested in a dishwasher which has greatly reduced my cleanup time :)
Sounds delish!
