What's better than sautéed squash, mushrooms & carrots coated in melted gruyere? Not much. This vegetable raclette is wholesome, filling, and a little spicy. In other words, it's perfection.
Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
2 large zuchini
2 summer squash
1 pack portobello mushrooms
1 serrano pepper
1 cup shredded carrots (or diced)
1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese
salt & pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Recipe:
Dice the zuchini & summer squash, roughly chop the mushrooms.
Slice the serrano pepper & set it aside.
Sauté the vegetables (including the carrots) in a bit of olive oil so they will cook through. I did mine one by one so that everything cooked evenly & didn't get too soggy. You want them crunchy.
Pour the cooked vegetables into an oven-safe Pyrex, add the serrano slices & season with salt & pepper.
Sprinkle the shredded gruyere on top of the vegetables & broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted & bubbly.
It's gettin cold outside! Have no fear, my creamy vegetable soup will warm you right up! Soups are amazing because they're one-pot dishes that you can sort-of forget about after you throw the ingredients together!
Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
2 cans unsalted tomato sauce
1.5 cups water
1 large potato, diced into bite sized chunks
1 can mixed vegetables (green beans, peas, carrots, corn, etc)
1/2 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup milk or lactaid
1 can beans of your choice
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Recipe:
Heat the vegetable oil for 30 seconds in a large pot. Add the onions & sauté until translucent.
Add the garlic & the potatoes, stir to combine.
Add the tomato sauce quickly after (so the garlic doesn't have a chance to burn).
Then, pour in the water and raise the heat to high so the soup can start to boil. Feel free to add your cans of veggies at this time also.
Once the soup is boiling, add the seasoning and the beans then cover the pot. Lower to a simmer.
Let the soup simmer about 30-40 minutes for the ingredients to fully marry in their flavors, turning every so often so it doesn't burn.
Turn off the heat.
Allow about 2 mins off the stove before you add in the milk. Slowly pour it in as you stir.
Feel free to garnish with Parmesan or your favorite cheese & enjoy!
