Title: Anyone have saute recipe for bell peppers, onion, summer squash & rice?
Post by: PrimeTimer on February 16, 2017, 09:13:39 PM
Looking to make skillet dinners using sauteed veggies and seasonings for flavor. Want to put the sauteed veggies with lean beef and rice or scrambled eggs. Have to watch our potassium, phosphorous and sodium intake.

I can't say I use many spices, my go to's are lemon, lemon pepper, garlic.  I use olive oil when I need it, sometimes a splash of peanut oil.

I half stir fry half steam veggies ,keeping a lid on to retain the moisture/steam until tender. No back teeth I have a problem if I leave the centers too crunchy.

Parsley and oregano I sometimes add a dash to be a little different and add a small bit of color.  Most often use the colored bell peppers, they add the colors and the sweetness of the cooked peppers.

The only one I know:

Sauté onion and peppers in a little olive oil
When peppers and onion are tender, add a can of well drained smashed whole tomatoes
Simmer a few minutes
Meanwhile make your rice using the spice saffron for flavoring
When rice is ready add the onion and pepper and tomato mixture
Now add the chicken, beef, shrimp etc.

Thanks, Charlie B and OldKritter!  All the ingredients you mentioned, even the saffron are on the list as a "GO" except for the tomatoes. Those are too high in potassium for him. And I don't know if peanut oil is allowed but I am going to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for it's flavor and the fact it can take high heat better than other oils. I'm not a gourmet, I tend to keep things very basic but I don't mind getting creative so long as my husband likes what I cook.
