Ragout of Vegetables

ragout of vegetables

This is one of the side dishes I prepared with Mema’s Pork Chops with Beer recipe.  I love squash so this was especially yummy to me!

1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced

1 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced

olive oil to moisten

salt & pepper

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tsp. basil

2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, & chopped

2 zucchini, sliced

2 yellow squash, sliced

chicken broth (about 1/4 c.)

2 T. cold butter

juice of 1/2 lemon

Cook onion & red pepper with oil, basil, garlic, salt, & pepper over low heat, covered, until onion is wilted.  Add chopped tomatoes & cook another moment.  Add zucchini & squash and cook until almost tender.  Pour in chicken broth (just enough to moisten).  Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove cover, add butter and lemon juice.  Serve immediately.
