Sometimes I get desperate and throw things together in order not to waste veg that I got when I thought I'd be cooking more often during the week than I end up doing.
Tonight was one of those nights. About a third of a white onion, sauteed in olive oil. Added a pound of stew beef cut very fine (local beef from Whole Foods). Browned the beef, then added (gradually) a sliced summer squash, a sliced zucchini, about a third of a chopped red pepper, and about a half a bunch of asparagus. (The harry grass was very wilted and thin, so I chopped off just the bits that were still green and tender.) Simmered the whole thing about half an hour. I considered making some rice to put it on, but I'm not really looking to stretch it or fill up, so I'm just eating it on its own. I opened a bottle of saison that I got a while back, and a glass of that and a plate of the... meleange...is making a very tasty meal. Some herbs would probably have made it even better, but with freshly ground black pepper and salt, it tastes good. I figure it's about 500-600 calories and 40g of fat, and it makes 2-3 portions, more if you put it over rice.
