Garbage Disposal Stir Fry


This is super easy. I am the kind of cook that will make anything that isn't hard and me being the creative genius that I am came up with this! You can substitute in other veggies or take out the potato if you don't want it to fill you up as much. This is a very low maintenance recipe that can be added to or subtracted from that can make you the perfect side dish or main course to last you for quite a few meals. Just throw in whatever you want and it will be delicious.

Ingredients:
-One squash
-One zucchini
-One baking potato
-One onion
-Four cloves of garlic
-One head of broccoli (the size pre-packaged at the grocery store)
-Two tablespoons of olive oil
-One and one half teaspoons of balsamic vinegar
-One half of a cup of italian cheese

What to Do:

  1. Chop up the whole onion and mince the garlic (I confess, I just use the already minced garlic from the store because I am horrible at mincing garlic).
  2. You can either do this step while the onions and garlic are cooking in the pan or now, depending on how great your chopping skills are. Just in case, chop the squash, zucchini, and potato into thin slices. Then cut the potato slices into halves. Cut the bottom of the broccoli off where none of the tree-looking parts are connected. (don't you love my amazing cooking vocabulary?)
  3. Put the tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and spread it around.
  4. Turn the stove onto medium to high heat and put the pan on the burner. Then place the garlic and onions in the pan and stir them occasionally to not let them burn. Once the onions are translucent, you should start adding everything else in.
  5. Once the veggies have been in there for around two minutes you can add the balsamic vinegar. After this, just stir the veggies around for about seven minutes. You will know the dish is about done when the potatoes become translucent. You may want to taste one to make sure that they are fully cooked or just the way you like them.
  6. Add the italian cheese. I sprinkled it on top to my heart's content and voila! you are finished! enjoy! This will make a ton of food so store it in tupperware or just eat like five servings worth of vegetables.
