STEWED FRESH VEGGIES W/ GINGER TAMARI SAUCE

I've been serving this one in a bowl as a side dish, nice and simple BUT it would be excellent served over a brown rice or quinoa.

throw the chopped fresh veggies + garlic into a sauce pan

INGREDIENTS:

fresh garden veggies, I use sweet Italian peppers, cut into chunks

green peppers, cut in chunks

okra, trim ends and slice

4-5 tomatoes, cut into chunks

2 cloves garlic, sliced

dried ginger slices (Penzeys OR use fresh or powder)

tamari,  several generous shakes

sesame oil, several generous shakes

salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Place all of the cut veggies into a saucepan. 

Add salt, pepper, garlic, ginger (cook with this and then discard - very very woody), tamari, sesame oil, salt and pepper. 

Cover and steam on low till fork tender.  The liquid will mostly come from the tomatoes.  NO need to add any water.

steamed veggies with a delightfully flavored broth
