~~The January Garden~~

The garden thrives...in JANUARY!  

Last night I made the most healthful, satisfying meal... from the garden.


Here's how:

--Pick a peck of un-pickled peppers  (bell peppers)
--Snag a few jalapenos to chop finely (I like it hot)
--Yank a couple of tomatoes (big ones, little ones...red ones, yellow ones)
--Open and rinse a can of corn....(unless you grow your own)
--Open and rinse a can of beans...(your favorite...I like the little black ones)

If you like meat, fry up some super lean chuck; otherwise, don't.

In large pan put together everything except the bell peppers.  Slice the peppers lengthwise, seed them and put them in a baking bowl.  

Heat the other ingredients and season to taste.  I like rosemary (garden), thyme (garden) onions, Italian seasoning, coarse salt and pepper.



Pre-heat the oven at 350.  Pour all the ingredients over the peppers, throw the bowl in the oven and bake for 1 hour.



If you want to be decadent...(and who doesn't?)...put a couple of slices or shredded cheese over the top about 45 minutes into baking.

Serve this with some piping hot garlic bread.  (I didn't because I forgot.)


Enjoy!


P.s. A perfect wine pairing is Seven Deadly Zins~~now you can enjoy even more!
