June issue "Use Recipes" that are friendly to the environment

First of all, eco-friendly activities begin with the selection of ingredients. Using local vegetables not only allows you to eat fresh vegetables, but also reduce CO2 emissions from transportation. This time, we will use tomatoes and new onions from Yokohama.

Cut the tomato, onion and pumpkin into pieces. If pumpkins are heated in a microwave before cutting, it will become softer and easier to cook (approximate: 600W per 100g of pumpkin, about 2 minutes). Eggplants are cut into half moon and soaked in water, and ginger and garlic are chopped (a tube type can also be substituted). Using home appliances, including microwave ovens with high energy-saving performance not only saves electricity bills, but also environmentally friendly, so please consider when replacing home appliances.

This time, I will try to use the zucchini and maitake that were just left in the refrigerator.

Next, add oil in a pan, fry garlic and ginger over low heat, add the onion and fry well.　

After that, cook over medium heat, add pork and fry.

After stir-fry for a while, add water and cook.

When the ingredients are boiled, add tomatoes and eggplants. This time, we will also put zucchini and maitake here.

Turn off the heat and add the curry roux and pumpkin.

Simmer again over low heat and it's complete!

When I actually ate it, the fresh local vegetables were fresh and delicious, and the vegetables left in the refrigerator became easier to eat by curry. The sourness of the tomato is refreshing, and if the pumpkin is heated in advance, it can be made in a short time, so it is a dish that will be saved in the hot season. The procedure is not difficult, so you can make it fun with your child. Curry goes well with various vegetables, so you can prevent food loss by adding used vegetables in the refrigerator, and you can remake the remaining curry into curry udon or doria.

In addition to this summer vegetable curry, many used-up recipes according to the season are introduced under the concept of "let's use up vegetables at home!" There is plenty of information on recipes for each seasonal seasonal vegetables, time reduction techniques, arrangement points, and how to preserve vegetables, so please take a look.
