Although I like to get the majority of our produce from our garden, there comes a point every year when we have to branch out from what we canned, pickled, and frozen. Luckily, one of our favorite local stores has a selection of organic produce that is just wonderful.
Lately, we've been captivated by making this stir-fry, full of veggies and nuts and very low on carbs. Feel free to substitute veggie broth if you are going vegan, and take the vegetables I list as a suggestion more than a mandate. This recipe is very flexible to accommodate whatever you can get your hands on that looks fresh and yummy!
Asian-Inspired Veggie Stir Fry on Wilted Greens
1 c. stock (I used homemade mixed stock, primarily chicken)
2-3 T. soy sauce to taste
2 t. corn starch
1 small package (about 12 oz) baby San Marzano tomatoes, cut in half
1 organic carrot, cut into rounds
3-4 heads of broccoli, cut so just the florets are left (That's the way I like it, but you can leave the stems intact if you prefer)
3/4 c. cashews
2 big handfuls organic greens (we like a spinach-kale-arugula mix)
In a sautee pan, heat stock and cook carrots until soft. Add soy sauce, tomatoes, broccoli, and cashews and cook until heated, about 5 additional minutes. Add corn starch to thicken the broth and let sit to "set up" a bit.
Meanwhile, wash one large handful of greens per person. Top with stir fry mix and let the greens wilt. Enjoy.
Serves 2
Fast, Cheap, and Good is a philosophy of homemaking. I believe that we can care for ourselves and our families by adopting simple lifestyle habits and techniques that will improve our health, our connection to and stewardship of our world, and our finances, all without depending on a larger organization to help us through.
