Bowl of Vegetables

My pick: Onion, Zucchini, Bok Choy

I added some additional vegetables for texture and color: carrots, yellow zucchini, celery and kale.



I sliced the onion very thinly and sauted it slowly until the onion was soft,  caramelized and brownish. Added cubed carrots and celery, mixed it with dried herbs, salt and some vegetable broth. Added diced Zucchini (green and yellow), continued the cooking. At the end, for the last couple minutes: added cut Bok Choy and Kale under the mix until all the vegetables were cooked. 
Served vegetable-mix over brown rice.


Bok Choy: Chinese cousin of the Western Cabbage.  High in Vitamin A and C.

Onion: a vegetable known since the Bronze Age settlements, used as food and medicine. Onions are in the same family as leeks and garlic.

Zucchini is a hybrid of the cucumber and related to the squash family. Zucchini is low in calories, contains Folate, Potassium and Vitamin A.
