Food! - Vegetable Medley!

What do you make when you have a lot of vegetables that have been waiting patiently to be eaten?  You make a concoction or Vegetable Medley!  Following I'll describe what I did one night when I had a counter full of squash and potatoes that I wanted to use!

Vegetable Medley

This does take a while to prepare, mostly due to the cooking of the Squash, so plan accordingly. 

Ingredients

Feeds about 4+

1/2 of as large Acorn Squash (1 small Acorn Squash would have been perfect)

1/2 of a large Spaghetti Squash (I've really just seen one size of Spaghetti Squash, but if you can find 1 small one, that would work too!)

About 1-2 lbs of Red Potatoes

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 - 8oz carton of Mushrooms

1 Red Onion

A few big handfuls of Baby Spinach

3+ cloves of Garlic

Salt and Pepepr

Seasonings to your taste

Directions

1. Preheat over to 400 degrees
2. Cut both types of Squash in half, sprinkle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and salt and pepper
3. Place Squash cut side down in baking dish, add 1-2" of water to dish to help speed up the cooking and to keep the squash from sticking to the bottom of the dish
4. Cook both types of Squash in oven together for about 30-45 minutes, or to desired tenderness
5. Cut Potatoes into about 1" pieces.  Steam to desired tenderness.  I used my DeMarle Cookware with a little bit of water on the bottom and steamed in my microwave to lessen the mess!
6. Chop Mushrooms & Onion and place in large saucepan with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
7. Mince or Crush Garlic and add to saucepan
8. Add Spinach to saucepan (spinach can be chopped into smaller pieces if desired)
9. Sautee vegetables in Olive Oil until desired tenderness is achieved. 
10. Add the steamed Potatoes to the saucepan with sauteed vegetables
11. Scoop the flesh from the Acorn Squash, shred the Spaghetti Squash and add to the saucepan with sauteed vegetables.
12. Season with additional Salt and Pepper or Seasonings of your choice and warm all ingredients together for a few minutes before serving.
13. I'm just learning about Nutritional Yeast and you better believe that next time I make this I will be adding it!!!

For Herbivores, this is a meal in itself thanks to the heartiness of the potatoes!  For Omnivores this can be served as a side with a meat of your liking.  It is also Gluten and Soy Free!
