Answers:
Hiya, I am a vegetarian & absolutely love to cook!.!.!. I usually have on hand fresh veggies such as portobella 'shrooms, onion, broccoli & tomatoes!. I heat a little olive oil while I prep the veggies (cutting, cubing, slicing, dicing, whatever) in various sizes!. Adding onions first to the hot oil, saute until onion just starts to become a bit translucent, then add the 'shrooms & broccoli!. Saute for a minute, add the tomatoes, singeing them lightly, cover & remove from heat!. You can add fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, etc!. at the end & let the flavors 'marry' in the covered pot!.
Sometimes I use canned tomatoes & make a sauce with the ensuing liquid by adding a touch of peanut butter & cayenne pepper (this, to me, is nirvana with rice & beans)!. You can also try experimenting with various curries!. A bit of honey drizzled over the whole dish just before serving is a surprising touch!. You can add sesame seeds, peanuts or other nuts during the final cooking stage, or raw!. I purposely left my recipe ideas open for you just to gather some insight!.!.!. now, go play with your food! Enjoy!Www@FoodAQ@Com
