veggie burger stir fry

stuff to use:

random veggies

frozen veggie burger patties 

usually i’m not in a big hurry to use frozen stuff up, but i was visiting some dear family friends and trying not to leave “my” groceries behind when i returned home :)  it’s a little intimidating being in someone else’s kitchen, but i do all right ;)

i’m a big fan of bread, but i knew if i didn’t use it i would have room for other stuff, so i went for a stir fry instead.  veggies for the taking were red pepper, celery and zucchini, so chopped them up in no particular order and mixed them in a frying pan (with a little butter, and i didn’t have my usual go-to’s so that was it!)  

the veggie patties are a little hard to cut through when they’re frozen solid, so i microwaved two for just long enough to soften them a bit, but not make them fall apart (about half a minute).  i chopped them up into bite size pieces and tossed them into the mix.

i kept it on medium-ish low heat to get things a little bit charred, but turned it down when it started to smoke just a little too much!  i went into the other room for a bit so i’d make sure to let it cook long enough and not jump the gun....i do that....

onto a plate with some ranch dressing and a sprinkling of parmesan and i was sooooooooo happy.  serious yum!
