It was 5pm yesterday night and I had three hungry children and a husband who were waiting for something brilliant to come from the kitchen. Now, I’m not opposed to the occasional pizza or other easy peasy solution, but I like to feed my family healthy food to nourish their bodies whenever and however I can.

So, I took a glance in my fridge and found quite the assortment of veggies...and a chunk of nitrate-free polish sausage. An idea formed in my head for dinner; something like a cross between a stir fry and a hash.

Here’s my very-flexible dinner solution, which I call:

Vegetable Asian hash

Chop and sauté in coconut oil:

¼ head cauliflower
3 stalks celery
3 cloves garlic
½ large onion
2 red potatoes
1 parsnip
1/2-1 lb. sausage or other meat (optional)

Add salt, pepper, and a generous dash of coconut aminos.
Add 1lb diced pre-cooked sausage or other meat (optional). Saute together.
Cover and let sit while you prepare the table for dining. Enjoy!

The verdict:

Everyone enjoyed the final result. I usually include ketchup at the table, since the kids and sometimes my husband use it on their entrees, but none needed here! It was delicious as is. We found the longer it sits at the end, the more caramelized and almost sweet the dinner tastes.

I'll definitely log this one away for future go-to dinner ideas.
