Here is a very quick and easy way of preparing a healthy continental snack.
For the roasted vegetables you will need (quantity as per need):
- · Button Mushrooms
- · Bell Peppers – Yellow, Red, Green
- · Baby Corn
- · Haricot Vert Beans
- · Zucchini
- · Olive Oil
- · Seasoning: Salt, Pepper, Garlic/Any Italian seasoning
Chop the vegetables in large chunks in any shape you like
(use your creativity:-p)
Heat two table spoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying fan
on high flame. Wait till the pan is red hot, add the zucchini and shallow fry
it on high flame. Keep tossing it at intervals and let the Zucchini develop
slight brown patches. Repeat this for
all the vegetables one at a time.
High flame is necessary to avoid the vegetables from
releasing moisture and turning soggy.
You may also tilt the pan and let the veggies be in direct
contact with the flame from time to time to get that awesome burnt taste.
Just before serving sprinkle it with salt and pepper or any
other seasoning you’d like to add. Garlic goes well with it.
For the cutlet you will need (quantity as per need):
- · Potatoes
- · Beans
- · Onions
- · 1-2 slices of brown bread
- · Olive oil
Boil the potatoes, peel the skin and mash it up. Add finely
chopped onions, green chilies, salt and spices as per your liking. Slightly
dampen the bread and add it to the potatoes (this is to hold the cutlet
together). Mix it all up.
Finely chop the beans and stir fry them separately till they
are cooked. Add this to the mashed potatoes and mix it all well to make a
batter. Take a large spoonful of this batter and round it up into a cutlet by
hand. Finally shallow fry these on a non-stick tawa/pan in olive oil on medium
heat till they turn brown and slightly crisp in the middle.
Plate it up! Tada … you are done! :-)
Tastes best when served Hott!!!
Happy Cooking! Do share comments on how it turned out.
