Beets. A delicious vegetable, but they turn EVERYTHING red. Including whatever other ingredients are mixed in with them. Unless, the other ingredient is green.
I used my go to stir fry recipe for this; with chicken, broccoli, beets, and carrots. Looks pretty festive, doesn’t it?
Merry Christmas!
In the midst of (unintentionally) installing a virus on my laptop this past weekend, I was looking for recipes for broccoli. I had seen broccoli on the list of options for our box this week, and realized I hadn’t cooked any in a while. Since we are still in grilling season, I decided to try this recipe from allrecipes.com for grilled broccoli.
I’m not posting the recipe, since I really didn’t change it. I did use a roasted red pepper vinaigrette dressing instead of balsamic. I also used my grill wok instead of putting the broccoli directly on the grill-easier to work with. Feel free to pop on over to allrecipes.com to check out this recipe.
Last week, I had to take my car in for service. There is a Kohl’s right next to the service place-too dangerous! Since I had a 15% off coupon, I decided to do some shopping while my tires were being rotated. They had their grill accessories on sale, so with my coupon I got a smoking deal on a grill wok.
The recipe that came with the wok recommended brushing the sauce on the vegetables. Instead, I just put it on the vegetables a teaspoon at a time. It did not end up really saucy, but was delicious. I’m not posting times for this recipe, because my grill was running out of gas and not as hot as usual. It would probably take 10-15 minutes on a normal day.
One of our new favorite restaurants is a local chain called Mario’s Pizza. They serve a lot more than pizza! I love their Southwest Chicken Pasta, so I decided to use it as a basis for today’s recipe.
Don’t skimp on the cayenne pepper. I gives the sauce a little more kick.
I had a taste for a broccoli stir fry this week. I am always on the look out for a new stir fry sauce. The one I used for this recipe is a combination of several recipes I saw while doing research.
The great thing about a stir fry is that you can use a lot of different combinations of meat and vegetables with the same sauce, and it tastes different every time!
