The Tasteful Kitchen Recipe
Summertime Catch-All Recipe!
Summer squashes 1-2 mixed colors, diced
1/2 large sweet onion, diced
1-2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
1 sweet bell pepper, diced
3-4 tomatoes, diced (peeled and seeded if preferred) heirlooms with mixed colors are best!
2-3 tbsp. good Olive oil
about 3-4 tbsp. of fresh herbs minced such as Sweet Basil, Chives, Italian Parsley, Oregano, and Marjoram (any mixture will do)
1/4 tsp. hot red pepper flakes (optional)
Additional items to add:
2 fresh chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces.
or 2 cups large shrimp, peeled
Couscous, cooked with chicken broth
or cooked penne or spaghetti Pasta (regular or whole wheat).
Begin by sautéing the onion and peppers in the olive oil, add garlic when onion is translucent. Add chicken or shrimp, herbs, tomatoes, and squash and cook over med high heat for about 5-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through and vegetables are just tender. Toss in a large bowl with Couscous or Pasta and serve immediately.
This really is a catch all recipe, just about any vegetable can be added and any type of meat or substitute garbanzo or other beans to add protein. Leave out the pasta or couscous for a low carb version. Fill tortillas for a tasty hot sandwich or serve it cold at a picnic or cookout.
