Circus In My Skillet
February 14, 2008
Tonight was the second time I prepared my squash, tomato & beef skillet, but I changed the vegetables a bit and it’s a riot of color. Hard to believe it’s the middle of February when you look at all those pretty veggies!
I subbed one zucchini for a yellow squash, and added chunks of yellow and orange peppers. I think I prefer the result tonight — it’s beautiful to look at, and tastes fresh but hearty at the same time. Plus, it’s a quick and easy recipe you can get on the table in 30 minutes. Cooking brown rice takes just a few minutes longer than that, and is a perfect accompaniment.
I wonder if adding a can of tomato sauce would be nice next time? It’s not a saucy dish as is, so adding some “gravy” to the mix might make it feel more unified. More like a ratatouille with meat.

Dara, this looks really delicious – you are right, the colors are very pretty! I would definitely try the tomato sauce the next time – I know my “J” and kids would prefer it that way!
