The Jenny Special

I've been making the Jenny Special for as long as I can remember. It is different every time but always the same thing: a stir fry-type dish of whatever is left in the house. It usually looks a lot like stir fry with salad-ish vegetables and some shrimp or chicken. But tonight's was different! And it was so good I have to share! It was so basic but the flavors were amazing. Also, the majority of the vegetables were from our CSA which means local and organic! Here is what it looked like:


Ingredients:

cooking oil
1/4 - 1/2 white onion
1 small butternut squash
1 sweet potato
1 small eggplant
1 small purple bell pepper
cabbage
dried thyme (also from CSA)
mild curry powder
salt & pepper to taste
whole wheat couscous

My process:

Cook couscous according to directions on the box 

Heat skillet and add cooking oil

Add onion and saute until soft. Just a few minutes.

Add squash and sweet potato, thyme, salt & pepper and saute until squash begins to become tender. (This took a good 10 minutes for me, I think. I kept a lid on the pot and stirred frequently.)

Add eggplant, bell pepper and cabbage. Mix together well. Add curry powder (as much as you want!) and mix mix mix.

Continue to cook until it is how you like it!

Serve on top of couscous

YUM!!
