Lavish Leftovers
What I do with leftovers, including rice, chicken and sauteed spring veggies
So the other night I had sauteed some red bell pepper zucchini mushrooms, you know, the usual suspects for a good veggie saute. I also served it with a lemon and chive short grain brown rice. The next day, I was needing a satisfying lunch, so I high-tailed it to the kitchen all giddy with delight (I love my leftover creations). I knew I had some fresh frozen asparagus, now Is the time I like to stock up on those baby's ... sweet, tender young spring asparagus ( you will notice the difference with the local asparagus and it is wonderful so stock up!)
Here's the recipe:
