Like most of those memorable meals, this one was created out of dire necessity and a stubborn craving for a vegetarian dish. I barely think as I randomly select a vibrantly green brocoli. A few potatoes and their neighboring mushrooms make the cut too and it’s not long until deep, caramelized tones, start appearing. The potatoes blushing as if suddenly feeling shy from their roasted scent overpowering the kitchen!
They need not be, this simple sauté of summer vegetables is a feast of its own and as I sprinkle absentmindedly from whichever spice jar of chilli, pepper and paprika I can get my hands on, I can’t wait to discover the simple delight that awaits me!
For the potatoes:
- 4 medium-large potatoes cut to stripes
- 1dl Olive oil
- 3 fresh rosemary branches
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, crushed
Recipe of the dish:
- 6-7 spoons of olive oil
- 1 large onion
- Flowers of 250 gr broccoli piece
- 300 gr chopped champignons
- 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
- Black pepper, salt, red paprika & a bit of chilli powder
