Recipe: Zucchini Hash with Mushrooms & Potatoes

[Guest guest]

This dish came about in the nature of a using-up-the-veggies exercise too - I

had some

nice zucchini and a couple of very tiny white potatoes (what did I mean to do

with those, I

wonder). Lunch loomed. So I took a look at what was in the veg bin and came up

with the

following for two persons:

 

ZUCCHINI HASH WITH MUSHROOMS & POTATOES

 

1 stick celery, chopped in small rounds

1 yellow cooking onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 small potatoes, diced

1-1/2 zucchini, chopped in quarter-'moons' (amount depends on size - enough for

two

hungry people is what I used

5 or 6 or more mushrooms, roughly chopped

optional: a tsp minced ginger or to taste (I tend to put it in a lot of things)

pinch of crushed chilies or to taste

salt (if you use it) and pepper to taste

Squeeze of lemon juice and whatever herbs you have to garnish

 

I softened the onion and celery in a little water and threw the potato in with

them to cook

(the dice was small, so they didn't take long), added the zucchini, mushrooms,

ginger and

chilies when the potatoes were almost done, careful not to overcook the

zucchini. I served

garnished with celery leaves and added in a tomato, fennel and onion side salad.
