December 14, 2011

Ingredients

This one is very useful when you need a vegetable in a hurry: you cut them into short pieces and toss them into a pan of hot olive oil, leave them to the tenderness fairy, then, when they are golden at the edges, season with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

A mound of brown rice at their side and you have supper, albeit one without protein.
