RUSS'S VEGETABLE MELANGE



Russ's Vegetable Melange image

My husband Russ has been making this lately when we have odd veg in the fridge. I think he's almost got it right as his one was great. We actually planned to make coleslaw, but the weather turned cold and we had to re-think dinner. This was great with roast chicken. The last time he made this, he used leek instead of onion. Feel free to vary the veg.

Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 or 2 small eggplant, about 1/2 pound
2 or 3 yellow squash, about 1/2 pound
2 or 3 zucchini, about 1/2 pound

1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped basil

Steps:

  • Unless the eggplant is very small, cut it in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/4-inch slices. There should be about 2 1/2 cups. (If it is very small, cut it into rounds.)
  • Repeat this procedure with the yellow squash and zucchini, cutting as indicated, depending on size. There should be about 2 cups of each.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy, deep skillet or casserole. When it is quite hot add the eggplant and onions. Cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
  • Add pepper flakes, zucchini and yellow squash, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover and continue cooking about five minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and basil and stir to blend.

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of vegetables: Use a mix of vegetables with different colors, textures, and flavors to create a visually appealing and flavorful dish. Some popular choices include bell peppers, zucchini, squash, carrots, broccoli, and tomatoes.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will have the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Wash and cut the vegetables evenly: Washing the vegetables will remove any dirt or debris. Cutting the vegetables evenly will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium heat: Cook the vegetables over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Stir the vegetables occasionally: Stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan and to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Serve the vegetables immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.
