2 c Prepared mashed potatoes; (I
-use instant potatoes for
-convenience. omit the
-butter though)
1 tb Dry sherry; white wine, or
-balsamic vinegar, (I prefer
-the sherry), up to 2
1 md (or large) onion peeled and
-chopped
2 Cloves of garlic peeled and
-chopped or 2 teaspoons
-minced garlic
1 pk Assorted organic frozen
-vegetables; (I like the
-Cascadian Farm varieties)
2 tb Flour
3/4 c Vegetable stock; (or really,
-any liquid that you prefer,
-even something like
-homemade or canned soup
-would work)
1 tb Chopped fresh thyme or sage;
-or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tb Chopped fresh rosemary
-leaves; or 1 teaspoon dried
1 ds Nutmeg
1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.) Heat the sherry in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the
onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and
wilted (Be careful not to let the garlic brown). Turn up the heat to
medium and add the frozen vegetables. Cook about 5-10 minutes
(depending on how soft or crunchy you like your veggies), stirring
occasionally. Add the flour and cook stirring for about 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock, thyme, rosemary, nutmeg, and salt and pepper
to taste. Cook and stir until thickened. Remove from heat.
3.) Transfer the vegetable mixture to a gratin dish or a pie plate.
Spread the mashed potatoes over everything. Sprinkle some nonfat
cheese on top if you like, and bake for 35 minutes or until nicely
browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten! I’m a college student, and
trust me I hate to be stuck in the kitchen for too long. This is an
extremely simple meal to prepare, it tastes phenomenal, and it keeps
in the fridge for a while or it can even be frozen. Yummy!! VEGAN or
LACTOVEGGIE (if you opt for the cheese)
