Minus-strone
I made a batch of this from the things that were still usable in the bottom of my fridge and it was, well, delicious! It tastes kind of like a minestrone, but without pasta, and with chick peas. I love chick peas.
1/2 an onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 sticks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
2 potatoes, chopped
2 broccoli stalks, chopped
1/2 tin plum tomatoes
zest of a lemon
1 litre vegetable stock
half a bag frozen chopped spinach
1 tin chick peas
juice of a half a lemon
salt and pepper
Saute the onion, celery and garlic in the oil until soft. Add the potatoes, broccoli stalks, tomatoes and lemon zest together with the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer until the veg are soft. Add the chickpeas and spinach, bring back to the boil and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, season to taste and serve.....
