A Vegetable Ragout.

On 21/02/2011, in Cookin', Ramble, by T.

I could have just called this a vegetable stew, instead of a ragout.But, this name makes it sound more like I know what I am doing, more like I am an actual chef.Vegetable Ragout just sounds more fancy.I like fancy, you like fancy, we all like fancy.Well, I hope you like fancy, or perhaps you like simplicity.Maybe you just are boring.Be boring, see if I care.Though, I might.
Honestly, I will not care, or will try my best not to.
Ragout is a thicker type stew, or so I think.So, it does fit, as this is something you can eat off a plate, not a bowl.That makes sense to me.Whatever, just try the fucking recipe.

Ingredients.

- Two tablespoons of olive oil.
- Onion, slices, chopped into thin half-moons.
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic.
- A cup of vegetable stock.
- One carrot, grated.
- One zucchini, chopped into little strips.
- One cup of frozen corn.
- One cup of edamame beans.
- One tomato, chopped, diced.
- One tablespoon of tarragon.
- One tablespoon of basil.
- Half a tablespoon of oregano.
- 1 teaspoon of thyme.

Heat the oil in a large pan, on medium heat.Cook the onion and garlic till the onions start to become soft.Now, and this could really be hard,I mean really hard, add the vegetables other then the tomato, and the vegetable stock.Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat and cook till the zucchini becomes somewhat soft.
Toss and mix in your seasonings and tomato, and cook another 5 minutes.
Serve with some polenta, whatever, I do not care.I enjoyed mine with a baked potato.
So, there.
