Sweet sweet summer time! My favorite time of the year because of the variety of vegetables and fruits in season. This recipe highlights these vegetables- making sure they retain their crunch and unique taste. The veggies are enveloped in a spicy vivacious broth which is flavored with Cajun spices. (This recipe is very much inspired by The Pioneer Woman)
Recipe: Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Oil
1 1/2 Cloves Garlic
1 Zucchini cut into chunks
1 Squash cut into chunks
1 Onion cut into chunks
1 1/2 Pepper cut into chunks
1 Jalapeno diced
1/3 Cup Roasted Corn
2 Tbsp Cajun Spice
1 1/2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
3 Cups Vegetable Broth/stock
1/4 juice of a Lemon
1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
Sriracha to taste
Method:
1- Warm up oil in a pot, once hot add in the zucchini, squash, onion, peppers and jalapeños and cook for a minute. In another smaller pot bring the broth/stock to a boil and then turn it off.
2. Add corn into the pot and season with the cajun spice. Stir and let the mixture cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute. Then mix in broth, the black pepper, lemon juice and sriracha. Cook the entire mixture for a couple more minutes, the veggies should not get soft!
4. Serve with crispy polenta, biscuits or orzo!
Enjoy!!
