Ingredients

1 large red onion, quartered, for roasting

8oz whole frozen green bean

4oz crinkle cut carrots

1 whole red pepper, julienned

1 small white onion, diced

2 cloves garlic

1/2 lemon

2 tbsp 7 spice

2 stalks celery, sliced on bias

4tbsp olive oil

15oz can stewed tomatos

1 tbsp Vegeta dried broth

Directions

Unless you have a 20,000+ BTU stovetop, you're going to need a very heavy cast iron skillet as this is a stir-fry.

Part 1:

First, cut up a large red onion into quarters. Separate sections, toss in 2tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and spread in single layer on cookie sheet. Place in 425 degree oven for at least 30mins which should elapse why preparing the following. Next, put some rice (I did white basmati, will probably do brown next time) in the rice cooker. Now down to cooking.

Part 2;

Heat the skillet on high for 5 mins until water droplets explode in the pan.

Add olive oil until it smokes, add onion, green beans and carrots and peppers.

Stir fry until beans begin to get color, add garlic, keep cooking until the garlic really begins to brown.

Grab the roasted red onion from the oven and toss into the mix.

Add 7 spice, Vegeta, then the whole can of tomatoes.

After tomatoes are heated through, squeeze lemon over all, turn off fire and serve over rice - this is also good over hummous or by itself maybe with some pita.

1. Try adding more carrots, they could be julienned instead of crinkle cut.
2. Cut down 7 spices to perhaps 1-1/2 Tsp or even 1, especially if you are making this for the first time.
3. Careful - the ingredient list calls for julienned red onion, but the directions merely say quarter. Julienned is better. Be sure to coat with oil in a bowl prior to spreading on the cookie sheet.
4. I used dice tomatoes and the result was good.
5. You may substitute other ingredients - potatoes and mushrooms come to mind.

I adjusted the recipe; I had a red onion in the instructions but not in the ingredients. I guess you could also roast the red pepper, too; tho I think roasting slivered vegetables would be easy to burn and thus have to be watched carefully.
