Simmered Vegetables

Friday, February 26, 2010


I opened the fridge and all I had was a cauliflower and a few carrots. What do I do with these? Answer: Make a chunky soupy concoction!

Ingredients:
Carrots – 4 (diced)
Cauliflower – 1 small (cut into florets)
Scallions – 2-3 (chopped)
Tomato – 1 (chopped)
Thyme – 1 sprig
Garlic – 2 cloves (minced)
Grated ginger – ½ tsp
Frozen sweet corn – ½ cup
Frozen peas – ½ cup
Chicken curry masala – 1 tbsp (curry masala will work just as well. I had the chicken masala lying around so i used it.)
Sugar – 1 tsp
Salt – to taste
Pepper – ½ tsp
Olive oil – 1 tbsp
Eggs (optional) – 2
Water – 1 ½ cups

Procedure:
In a pan heat olive oil. Throw in the sprig of thyme in the oil to flavor it.

Next add the garlic, ginger, tomato and the chicken curry masala and stir until tomatoes start to soften.

Now add the carrots, cauliflower and scallions. Mix together.

Season with salt, sugar and pepper.

Now add water and simmer on low flame until vegetables become tender.

Remove from heat and add frozen corn and peas. Mix well.

Transfer veggies into individual serving bowls.

Now crack an egg on top and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until egg is set.

Serve with crusty bread.
