Peacock Vegetables, Recipe, Easy, Light Eating, Recipes Begged, Borrowed, or Stolen, Southern Delaware Cooks, Delaware Beaches

The easy entertaining time of the year is about to arrive. Barbecuing, outdoor dinners, backyard entertaining. Something easy is what calls for summer.

I love the name of this recipe. Peacock Vegetables. It is a recipe from 2002 and I have made it a lot. It is so simple. Vegetables and the rest you have in your pantry already.

Pre heat oven to 425 degrees

2 purple onions, cut into eighths

2 small yellow squash, cut in 1/2″ strips

2 small zucchini, cut in 1/2″ strips

1 each red, yellow and green bell pepper, cut in 1/2″ strips

4 cloves of garlic, sliced thin

2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley ( I like Italian)

1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp dried oregano or 3 tbsp. fresh oregano

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Place onion, squash, bell peppers and garlic in a bowl and toss well.

Combine remaining ingredients in a lidded jar and shake well. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss.

Spoon into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.

The photo above is before going into the oven.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

I served these veggies with my Cornish Game Hens, whose post was right here on March 28th.

Goes well with everything. Great tasting too.

Have a great day. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook. Leave a comment there.

Tomato Sunshine, Garden Center, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Fresh Produce, And so much more

 

 

“The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and some old clothes, and with a hoe in one hand a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig.”

Once again I am one of the few in my neighborhood who has not planted one single flower.  I just have not been in the mood and the weather has not cooperated either. 

I decided to stop by Tomato Sunshine and see if I could get some ideas.  This Garden Center is located at 4312 Highway 1, Rehoboth Beach.  Tel. 302-226-9533.  Website is www.tomatosunshine.com.  You cannot miss it because the beautiful flowers will certainly catch your attention as you are driving on Rt. 1.

I wrote a post about this garden heaven last year and it seems that they have done so much updating.  It looks bigger and so well organized. 

The staff is great.   I always get there with not a clue and they always direct me to the right plants.  I don’t do this just in one trip; I will be finished by mid June. 

Tomato Sunshine will deliver, but please give them a call for more information.

Now take a peak at the Garden Center.

It is a beautiful day in the Delmarva Peninsula…talk to you later….
