pan fried mediterranean veggies

Today's post is very very simple and easy pan fry Mediterranean veggies. I used broccoli, eggplant, carrot, baby potatoes, capsicum, onions. Some information regarding  mediterranean diet - it is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Italy and Greece in 1960's. The principal aspects of this diet includes proportionally high consumption of olive oil, fruits, vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products. A traditional mediterranean diet consisting of large quantities of fresh fruits,vegetables, nuts, fish and olive oil coupled with physical activity which can reduce risk of serious mental and physical health problems (information from wiki).

As i d't have oven i pan fried these veggies, you can roast these veggies in oven to get crispy texture. The taste of this fry depends on olive oil, herbs and pepper powder we use. I used oregano, pepper powder and red chilli flakes. No need to fry it like our regular curries. Fry onion, broccoli, capscium, eggplant  first then fry potato and carrot as it take more time to cook. Taking this healthy pan fry mediterranean veggies recipe to Foodie Monday BlogHop fb groups #222MystiqueMediterranen theme.

Got this from badge from IndiBlogger 😍.

Carrot corn soup || carrot sweet corn soup with step by step pics and tips, today's special recipe is carrot & corn soup. Soup is liquid food prepared using vegetables, meat and even lentils. Today's my carrot & corn soup is sweet and tasty prepared using winter veggie carrot as main ingredient. Adding sweet corn made this soup super delicious creamy with rich texture. Surely you will love this hot piping soup in this winter season, it is soulful and very comforting gives good fresh and relief feeling when you have it hot. I learned this recipe in my starting days of cooking, after doing lots of changes now i fixed to this version which hubby loves a lot 😍. We can prepare many soups like spring onion carrot badam soup with easily available ingredients at home.

I am sharing this hot and tasty soup with Foodie Monday Blog Hop fb groups #219WinterVeggieAffair theme. By this time you are all aware that i am part of this lovely group where we bloggers share recipe for theme suggested by a person in alphabetical order every week.
