Mexican Vegetables on Cornbread

This is one of the vegetarian recipes that my husband and I enjoy.  I admit that my kids turned down the opportunity to eat it with us and chose frozen burritos instead.  Silly kids.  The recipe is adapted from New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant. 

Here’s what you’ll need:

The amounts and types of veggies can be changed depending on what you like and what you have in the fridge.  This is what I used.

2 zucchini

4 carrots

1 green pepper

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

2 cups frozen corn

2 cans diced tomatoes with juice (only 1 can made it into the photo)

1 tsp. cumin

1tsp. coriander

salt

Cornbread

Chop all the veggies.  Saute the onion and garlic in a large skillet.  Add in the carrots and saute for a few minutes, covering to cook for about 5 minutes.  Add in the other veggies and seasonings and let it cook until the veggies are tender.  Serve hot over cornbread with shredded cheese and sour cream. Serves 4-6 people, more if some of those people are picky kids.  Less if you’re serving very hungry veggie lovers.

Yum – been trying to eat more meatless meals. I used to have a copy of a Moosewood cookbook but loaned it to someone. This reminds me how many great ideas were in there!

I made this tonight and only changed a couple of (very) minor things – my kids loved it and so did I! We’ll see how the husband feels about it re-warmed when he gets home from work tonight :) Thanks for a meat free dinner, we don’t have enough of them at our house!
OH! I also made Mexican corn bread for this instead of plain and it was SO good!

Shanna, I’m glad you liked it. I’d love to know what you changed – I might have to try it with your ideas. The Mexican corn bread sounds yummy!~~Tiffany
