Veggie Stew with just Carrots & Peas in Tomato Sauce

Written by Published on Updated on May 28, 2019 in Main dishes

Hello everyone…hoping the weekend was a good one.  It’s Monday, the beginning of a new week and hopefully a good one for everybody.  This weekend was quite warm. sunny and just lovely to be outside.  When I mean outside I just sat in the garden and caught up on some reading material on food blogging of course, and some other things that I needed to catch up on.  I did a bit of gardening 🙂 and I just wanted to thank  Luda from Plants and Beyond, for her advise in regards to adding coffee grinds into my small garden it was spot on! 🙂  All my herbs and salads flourished these past weeks, and we were able to have home grown lettuce in our salads!! hooraayyyy 🙂  Just fantastic!!   I also planted Broccoli, this has become huge I am not sure if my little garden will be able to hold it. 🙂

This is a Greek dish…with ingredients that I am hoping would exist in everyones fridge.  I know that Carrots and Peas may not be the first choice for lunch or dinner, but if you add tomatoes and a bit of tomato paste well I am sure you will be going back for more. 🙂   It is truly a very simple recipe just a few steps and you’ve got a delicious and healthy meal for lunch or dinner or even a side dish.. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
