VeganInTraining

now that farmers market is back, I am LOVING eating fresh veggies. How do you like to cook or prepare your market fresh veggies? Here's one of my fav super easy recipes

1/4 an eggplant cut in small cubes
1 zuccini sliced
minced garlic
Olive oil
1 or 2 tomatoes chopped
fresh basil
crushed red pepper
choice of pasta or rice

Sautte eggplant and zuccini in garlic and olive oil untill crisp.
Add chopped tomatoe, basil, and red peppers cover and cook on low heat until tomatoe is is soft.
Thow it on top of pasta or rice and it is delicious.

I have eaten it both hot and chilled. I would also add fresh uncooked mushrooms but they don't have them at my farmers market so I never think to buy them at the grocery store. I pretty much to a million variations of this depending on what veggies I end up buying but for me, the key is the tomatoe

I like just chopping my fresh veggies, putting a little olive oil, S&P, and roasting them in the oven at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. And sometimes when they're done roasting I will sprinkle on some freshly grate parm. Quick and easy is what I like.

Grilled Zucchini! Quick, easy & delicious. Not sure if it's ok to link to your own site but I have pics posted here: http://www.oneburntpixel.com/2011/04/grilled-zucchini/

Basically just wash whole zucchini and slice thinly lengthwise. Place on foil and drizzle with olive oil and spices of your choice (I use fresh ground pepper, lemon pepper and minced garlic). Flip zucchini after a few minutes to brown up each side… And done!

Chop up red onion and mushroom (lots of them) fry in a tiny bit of olive oil. Add minced fresh garlic and a splash of white wine. Then add low fat creme fraiche (tbsp), a pinch of salt and lots of black pepper. Leave to simmer for a while until the flavours are at your taste. It's yummy as a side for grilled chicken breast or steak etc. Or even on top of your pasta!

Slice eggplant, peppers or other favorites, spray or brush with olive oil and throw on the grill for a couple minutes - Yummy! Sometimes we experiment with spices and seasonings.

I think the best way to describe eggplant is that it's like a purple squash. Google it, for some images, they are super yummy!.....mmmmm banger and mash!

This one is easy to do and super-easy for later... you make little mini-quiches that you can stick in the freezer. Then when you need a snack or meal, take one or two, nuke 'em for 30 seconds, and eat. I often make a batch on the weekends & then have them at work all week.
This recipe is for frozen spinach, but I don't see why you couldn't use chopped fresh spinach or kale. Just probably don't cook it as long.
Spinach mini-quiche:
Grease a couple of muffin tins (recipe fills 12 cups).
Mix up six large eggs and a little black pepper to taste.
Slightly defrost a 10-oz package of frozen spinach. Divide it into the muffin tins.
Add a small spoonful of salsa on top.
Pour some of the egg mixture into each cup (I use an ice cream scoop).
Top with cheese (I like to just sprinkle some Parmesan).
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. If you're using fresh veggies, I'd start with 20 minutes, then check whether a toothpick comes out clean. If it does, it's done. If not, 5 more minutes then repeat the test.
Remove from oven, let sit for 15 minutes, and they pop right out.
