I always have a hard time with getting in enough vegetables. Especially with an "E" meal! I just prefer the buttery veggies. This Harves Veggies dish, however, is a perfect solution for me to include with ANY meal, as it's a perfect blend of mixed, soft veggies, that are so aromatic and rich in flavor that they require no butter, since the cooked okra gives it a silky, smooth texture. If you have this vegetable side dish with a THM S meal, butter is certainly an option, but really, it's yummy on it's own. These veggies freeze nicely, so go ahead and mix up a big bath and keep them on hand!

I like them with any meal, including with eggs for breakfast!

Another way to enjoy them, would be to add chicken broth to the mix, along with shredded chicken and enjoy it as a hearty soup dish!

INGREDIENTS:

2  diced yellow squash

3 diced zucchini

1 chopped, green bell pepper

1/2 chopped red onion

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 16 oz. bag of chopped, frozen okra

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp ground thyme

1/2 tsp ground cardamom 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place all veggies, except stewed tomatoes, into a large pot, with enough water to cover them, and simmer until veggies are soft, but not mushy. Then drain the water out. Add the can of stewed tomatoes, just after chopping them with a knife, while still in the can. Finally, add the seasoning and cook on low for about 10 more minutes.
