Nova Scotian Hodge Podge

"This is an old favourite vegetable stew from Nova Scotia. Is typically made in the fall as gardens are just harvested. It is important that the freshest veggies are used. This recipe very much lends itself to tinkering by adding different vegetables and quantities."

 

 

12 baby new potatoes, cut in half

1 cup (250 mL) thickly sliced carrots

2 cups (500 mL) broccoli florets

1 cup (250 mL) sugar snap peas, snow peas or

green beans, trimmed

1/2 cup (125 mL) frozen green peas

2 tbsp (30 mL) butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried tarragon or

dried savoury or

dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp (30 mL) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups (375 mL) Milk, heated

2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard or

dry mustard

2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil or

dill (optional)

 

In a large saucepan, combine potatoes and carrots; add cold water to cover by 2 inches (5 cm) and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover, reduce heat and boil gently for 10 min or until potatoes are almost tender.

Add broccoli, sugar snap peas and green peas; boil for 3 min or until tender-crisp. Drain; set aside.

Return pan to medium heat; melt butter. Saut

That is definitely wonderful winter comfort food just like my grandmother and mother used to make.   I am going to try it for sure

That looks exactly like what I made for dinner except my dinner was with no spices or veggies, just white sauce and capellini pasta. <sigh>. That looks excellent!
