Did you ever go vegetable shopping? Shops discourage you not to buy vegetables in small amounts.

Sometimes you don’t find a small portion of a vegetable, sometimes the price of a portion of a vegetable is almost the same as buying the whole vegetable.

So you end up like us with a fridge full of vegetables left-overs : a carrot, some stems of celery, some tomatoes, a paprika…

This simple mixed vegetable recipe is one way to getting a delicious meal out of all the vegetables you find in your fridge.

When you serve 4 persons, make sure the total amount of vegetables is around 10oz (300gr). Mix any vegetables you can find in your fridge, the vegetables mentioned below is what I found in my fridge.
