fast.food.at.home: veggie style (aka my new obsession)
I am always looking for a new recipe that can check off all my boxes; healthy, fast, delicious, cheap, simple...not always super easy to find, right?
(good rule of thumb: if I can make it, it's super simple)
Well, I found this one on allrecipes.com a while back and we can't stop using it as a "we have no time to make dinner tonight" fallback because it's so tasty and healthy.
We really changed almost everything you put in the recipe, this is how we've grown to love it;
*You can put in whatever veggies you have or are in season. (love it when you can do that)
Ingredients:
1/8 cup olive oil
1-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced (add more if you like a strong garlic taste like we do)
1 tsp salt
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 peppers, chopped (we like peppers with a little kick but Bell peppers would work just as well)
3-4 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
feta cheese, crumbled (we just sprinkle as much as we want in, it probably amounts to about 1/4 cup (unpacked))
Baguette, sliced and broiled
*Our grocery store has white, wheat, and mixed grain baguettes you can cook at home, so the bread is hot and fresh. If you use this kind, cook the bread while you're making the dish, butter or brush with oil and broil after it's cooked.
Instructions:
Saute the garlic in the olive oil in a large skillet. Add salt, chopped veggies and sliced mushrooms and cook until they are warm through and tender. Add Balsamic vinegar as the veggies cook. Add feta cheese directly after taking it off the heat and mix throughout.
Cut baguette in half horizontally and spread butter or brush olive oil on halves.
Broil under golden brown, cut pieces to your desired size.
We serve the veggies in bowls with the oil and vinegar sauce it cooked in so you can dip the baguette in it...SO good. Spoon onto your baguette slices and try not to devour it all at once, seriously... :)
