Quick & Easy Veggie Stirfry (Gluten-Free)

By Kelly · Leave a Comment


This one-skillet meal is wonderful on it’s own, and is equally delicious topped with leftover grilled chicken or steak. We enjoy cooked soaked brown rice for this particular dish, but if you’re a white rice fan, you may find the article “White Rice Better Than Brown?” by Sarah of The Healthy Home Economist very liberating. It discusses the health benefits of white vs. brown rice.

Time-Saving Tip: Have you heard the term “mise en place?” It’s a French culinary term for having all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before starting you start cooking. By learning to embrace “mise en place,” you will not only save time, but also greatly reduce your stress level in the kitchen, as well as improve your cooking skills.

Quick & Easy Veggie Stirfry (Gluten-Free)

Yield: 4 servings

Quick & Easy Veggie Stirfry (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • 5 green onions, diced (include whites and some green parts)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 medium organic carrots, cut into matchsticks
  • 6 oz. organic snap peas
  • 1 medium head of bok choy (chop and divide stem from leaves)
  • 1 large organic zucchini, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 cup organic broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger
  • Coconut Secret soy-free sauce (I use this in place of soy sauce)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Cooked soaked brown rice (or white basmati rice)
  • Optional: Leftover grilled chicken or steak, cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add oil, green onion and garlic. Cook until garlic becomes fragrant, about one minute.
  3. Then, add carrots, snap peas and bok choy stems. Sauté about 2 minutes (stirring constantly) and then cover for about 2 minutes until veggies begin to slightly soften.
  4. Next, add zucchini and broccoli. Sauté uncovered until broccoli begins to slightly soften.
  5. If using leftover grilled chicken or steak, add to the wok, along with the bok choy leaves and mushrooms. Cover pan to allow veggies to finish cooking to desired consistency. (We prefer ours al dente.)
  6. Then season with ground ginger, 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or soy-free sauce) and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Toss well to combine. Serve over cooked or steamed rice.

Notes

Please note, you can easily customize this recipe using your favorite veggies.

Zucchini-Feta Pasta (Gluten-Free Option)

By Kelly · 4 Comments


Zucchini is a mild-tasting versatile veggie that is high in vitamins C and A, as well as magnesium and fiber. This quick and easy recipe makes great use of this summer-squash favorite and is perfect for nights when you’re pressed for time to whip-up a healthy, delicious meal.


Time-Saving Tip: Have you heard the term “mise en place?” It’s a French culinary term for having all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before starting you start cooking. By learning to embrace “mise en place,” you will not only save time, but also greatly reduce your stress level in the kitchen. For this particular recipe, prepping all of your ingredients ahead of time before you start cooking the pasta, will enable you to complete the sauce right about the time the pasta is finished cooking.

Zucchini-Feta Pasta (Gluten-Free Option)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of your favorite fusilli pasta (we like Tinkyada brown rice fusilli)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium organic zucchini, diced
  • 14 oz diced organic tomatoes with Italian herbs (we like Muir Glen or Eden Organics brand)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh organic Italian parsley, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to directions. (If using brown rice pasta, be sure to thoroughly rinse in cold water once cooking time is complete and return to stockpot, set aside.)
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook about one minute, then add the diced zucchini. Saute for about 5-6 minutes, until zucchini begins to soften.
  3. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir and cover. Allow to simmer over low heat, until zucchini reaches desired tenderness.
  4. Turn off heat. Mix in feta and parsley. If using brown rice pasta, pour zucchini-feta mixture over the pasta and rewarm over low heat.
  5. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Veggie Penne Sauté (Gluten-Free Option)

By Kelly · 12 Comments


This delicious veggie pasta dish is so rich and flavorful – the combination of sundried tomatoes with kalamata olives and artichoke hearts is a real show stopper! And it’s even more delicious as leftovers, as the flavors become even more intense after they’ve had a chance to meld! If you’d like, you can toss in some diced grilled chicken for an even heartier dish.

P.S. This veggie-licious pasta dish made it on the “Top 10 Reader Favorites of 2012!”
