Rainbow carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, lentils, and tofu aka that kitchen sink vegan meal. |
Recently, I spied a bag of rainbow carrots (orange, yellow, purple) at Trader Joe's for $2.69. Sounded like a great deal. The idea was to make a delicious carrot soup- after all chillier weather is just around the corner. Instead, I created a stir fry incited by having many cravings occurring at once.
My stir fry doesn't look pretty and beautiful, seeming to muddy once lentils were added, but the hearty lentils and broccoli combined with rustic mushrooms and sweet colorful carrots were a pleasing delight. I kept the tofu naked so that it could soak up surrounding melodies.
