Back Home with Asparagus and Mushrooms


Ah, how lovely to come home after a week of perfect travel: hiking, biking, and eating chocolate. And Chief the cat could not have looked happier. He has never been so cuddly.

Tonight I diced half a yellow onion, browning it, and a clove of garlic, in some olive oil. I then washed asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper, celery, mushrooms and carrots. I cut the veggies into slices and let everything stew together for a while with low-sodium soy sauce, vinegar, sesame seeds, a dash of lime and lemon juice and a box of yellow raisins for a while before serving it on brown rice. A good detox after so much chocolate!

  2. What a colorful, healthy dish. I really like the nutty flavor of brown rice. It adds a richness to everything.
    Glad you had such a glorious trip.
