Alfred's Vegetarian Saute Dish


My Dad gave me this recipe six years ago and it's still a great recipe. Healthy, delicious and packed with eight servings of vegetables. Try this dish over brown rice or quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) for a complete meal. Did you know that quinoa is an excellent source of protein and fiber? There are three main types of quinoa - white, red, and black. All three are gluten-free and perfect for people with gluten intolerance. Enjoy!
