Looking for a quick, easy and healthy meal? This one is easy and can use frozen vegetables, if you have them. You don’t need to worry about your frozen vegetables. These days, they are pretty good quality and the nutritional content is fine too. In fact, frozen vegetables often have a higher vitamin and mineral content than fresh dues to the fact they are snap frozen soon after harvesting.
I use this one at the end of the week to use up the veges.
I know its a fairly basic one but its still a handy recipe :) If you would like to add some chicken, egg or fish: go ahead.
