My mom has been out of town for the last week and a half. I watched the house. She comes home today, and I realized that I have way too much stuff in the fridge. Crap! What to do?
Objective one: Dispose of produce in the drawer.
Solution: roasted root vegetable hash and roasted broccoli.
Roasted root vegetable hash: Take half of a large peeled carrot, two giant beets (peel them, and four red potatoes. Dice them. Toss in olive oil (2 to 4 T), soy sauce (2 T), vinegar (I used about 1/2 t. chive vinegar), and salt and freshly ground pepper. If, like me, you have fresh herbs hanging around in your garden, throw some in. I'm going to use 1/2 t. rosemary and 2 t. thyme. Toss it all together, dump onto a cookie sheet that you've lined with aluminum foil, and roast for about 30 minutes. Give the pan a shake every ten minutes or so. Stab a piece with a fork. You might need to cook longer if you used a large dice, or for a shorter period of time if you used large dice.
Roasted broccoli: Cut up two crowns of broccoli. Peel the stems and cut it up as well. Toss with the juice of half a lemon and an equal volume of olive oil. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper, and toss onto another lined cookie sheet. Shake it when you shake the hash. Give it the stab test after twenty minutes.
