Cleaning Out the Frig

I hate waste and yet our recycle bucket for compost is often full more than once a day. I already have access to three freezers and two refrigerators, but I still have usable vegetables/fruits that often get pushed back and then forgotten. I purchased some small bins from WalMart for just that purpose. It has helped considerably! Now I just pull out a bin and I can see all the way the back! So, I decided to check out what was available in my bins before I started making lunch and ... success!

"Clean out the Frig" Sandwiches
Ingredients:

• Chuck of Italian Bread, cut in half lengthwise
• olive oil
• garlic salt
• zucchini
• muchrooms
• onion
• garlic
• sun-dried tomatoes
• left over vegan roast

Directions:

1. Slice your bread however you want it.
2. Drizzle with olive oil
3. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
4. Set aside.
5. In a large cast iron pan, heat a bit of olive oil and add whatever vegetables you want on your sandwich or whatever is in your frig. I will say the sun-dried tomatoes gave it a nice "chew" and excellent flavor. I am allergic to peppers so you'll rarely see recipes here using peppers.
6. When the vegetables are cooked the way you like them, pop the garlic bread into a toaster oven or broiler and toast.
7. If you want to add some vegan cheese, do so, then top with the vegetables and serve.

We had this with a bowl of Pumpkin Bisque.
