odd things with food #8754

[lagilman]

Wanted veggies for dinner tonight, but not a salad, so I heated a pan w/ black sesame, caraway and 2 cloves sliced garlic, chopped some sweet peppers and shredded some red cabbage, quick-cooked them in pan until they were softened, then finished with a sprinkling of Vegeta, and served warm with crumbled feta. Colorful and tasty, quite filling, and except for the bit of Vegeta, all-healthy.

Next time might try adding bits of shredded pork. hrm. Or maybe duck....

Made Indian food tonight. Used one packaged entree (boil in a bag, but surprisingly good), my own (brown) rice, and threw together my own curry with all sorts of lovely but leftover fresh veggies. MBW's comment: "Please make this again." Now to figure out what I did exactly....

What, praytell, is Vegeta?

I'm actually not quite sure. It's a spice mix my folks brought me back from one of their trips, and since the packaging is all in Croatian...

I suspect that MSG is a significant ingredient. Used in small doses, it really does wonderful things to cooked vegetables, especially root veggies.

I suspect this doesn't help much, but it did at least save me asking the same question...

Thanks.

Duck and red cabbage is always good.

*thinks: I have red cabbage in the veggie basket...*
