omnomnomNo peppers and no eggplant. And no rats either.
I had zuccini, tomatoes and baby portobella mushrooms in the fridge. And some chicken breast. I wanted a quick and easy one-pot dinner.
2 shallots
1 tbl spoon minced garlic (yea, I know, cheating but it's convenient)
1 large zucchini
1/2 dozen baby portobella mushrooms
1/2 dozen small tomatoes
chicken breast
Chop up all the above. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil. Add diced chicken and mushrooms. Add zucchini. Add tomato. Run out to the garden and pick a small handful of sage, chop that and throw it in. Kinda sorts stir fry it all.
Decide it's getting too dry. Add a slug of red wine. And a generous grind of black pepper.
Just before serving decide it needs black olives, so toss in a dozen or so roughly chopped up.
A little salt, a little more black pepper, and a final garnish of fresh sage, et voila!
Delicious and low-carb -- which was what I needed. You could serve it with garlic bread, pasta or rice if you wanted the carbs.
