Side Dishes - Vegetables
VEGGIES EXTRAORDINAIRE

"This recipe shows off the goodness of an easy to prepare vegetable medley, whose flavors blend through a unique juice mixture. It's an opportunity to enjoy the bounty of the summer season in a tasty and nutritionally sound dish."

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup small broccoli florets
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced thin
1 cup eggplant, peeled and diced*
2 green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, including the green stems
1 medium potato, cooked and sliced
2 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup white grape juice (dry white wine may be substituted)
1/4 cup tomato juice
1 tsp. dried oregano (or 1 Tbsp. chopped, fresh oregano)

Heat oil over medium-high heat in large skillet. Add all vegetables, except potatoes and tomatoes. Cook, stirring gently and frequently, until tender-crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Add potatoes and tomatoes. Continue to stir gently and frequently for an additional 3 minutes.

Combine lemon, grape and tomato juices, and oregano in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Add sauce to skillet and simmer until liquid begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

*Select smaller, younger eggplant and blot cubes with paper towels to remove moisture, don't rinse the pieces because they absorb too much water.
