Here is an easy, cheap veggie idea. If you use a bag of ready made broccoli slaw, you can really save time. Tomatoes are optional. Though this is a stand-alone veggie dish, you could add some leftover meat to this for a complete meal.
Time: 8 minutes
• 1 bag broccoli slaw
• 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes (optional)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a skillet, add 1 tsp of mustard seeds. Cover and cook until the seeds stop popping. Next, add the whole bag of slaw, the tomatoes (if using), plus 1 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp of turmeric. Saute for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the slaw is soft. Add 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. Stir and serve.
