meals over the weekend............

[Guest guest]

Hi all......I'm new here.......live in the northern Calif. mts........off-grid,

semi-homesteading lifestyle.........so here's a quick one.......was tired one

evening and wanted a quicky meal.......so I doctored up a jar of organic pasta

sauce like this:

 

jar of Tomato Basil sauce

olive oil

1/2 onion diced

some mushrooms sliced

2 zucchini, sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

about 1/3 cup dried TVP

some red wine

a frozen pesto patty I made from last summer's basil crop

 

saute onions, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini in olive oil........add red wine and

let it cook down some.......add TVP and sauce........serve over pasta of

choice........top with fresh grated parmesan cheese.......

 

........I just made this Curried Lentil Stew yesterday also....

 

olice oil

1 onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 carrots, chopped

3 celery stalks, chopped

2 small potatoes, diced

tomato sauce or fresh tomatoes

on jalapeno or serano pepper

1 cup lentils

1 1/2 TB curry powder

salt and pepper to taste

 

saute onions and garlic in olive oil.......add rest of veggies and saute for

another minute or so.......add tomatoes or sauce, lentils, seasoning, and 6-7

cups water.......bring to boil, then simmer until veggies and lentils are soft,

about an hour.............I left this on our wood heating stove while we went

out for a while and it was completely done when we came home, as the fire died

down and the stew did not need stirring as it got thicker cuz of the lowering

temps of the stove........

 

..........so great to meet you all..............and now I'm off for 3 days to

see my little 10 month old grand-daughter.............Vicky
