An easy oven dish that is perfect for using up leftover vegetables.
The great thing about this dish is that you can use almost any kind of vegetables and still put a delicious meal on the table. If you have an oven-proof pan with a lid, it’s even easier: shortly fry everything, pour in the stock and put it in the oven. No oven-proof pan? No worries. Pour everything into a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Works just as well.
This dish is adapted from a dish from the Dutch Boodschappen magazine. Strangely enough, this is one of the few recipes where I add less vegetables than the original recipe describes, but that’s mainly because I adapted the recipe to make it suitable for 3 people.
