VEGGIE STEW

There is nothing best than to start a week with some veggie stew to get some vitamins after u busy weekend. 
I love different veggie and I love stews, it reminds me of home and when I was a child and one thing that I have never wished to be for lunch was a stew. But as things changed I love some healthy food on my plate and this stew is filling and it makes you happy. 

You will need:
1 Onion 
1 Courgette
1 Carrot 
1 Potato (mediu size)
Broccoli and Cauliflower (I use the pack of mixed 300g)
50-10g of Pasta
Bay leaf 
Tomato pure 
grounded Paprika
Pepper 
Salt
Vegetable stock cube 
Butter 
Olive oil 

I do not prepare veggie stock or chicken stock because I usually cook as it goes and I am not very prepared. I make what it feels like that they, plus checking if there is any easy decision when I open the fridge. I am not a chef I only like to cook manly so I can get a taste of home away form home and my parents kitchen. 

So lets get down to cooking. 
Chop all the veggie and put a pan on the stove. Melt some butter (spoon) in a pan and add a tea spoon of olive oil. 
Add onion and mix for a few minutes, be careful so the onion is not burned. Add a tea spoon of grounded paprika and mix for a minute. Add chopped potato, courgette, carrot and cauliflower and mix for a minute.
Add water so it covers all the veggie, break the stock cube and put it in the water. Pinch some salt, add two bay leafs and a spoon of tomato pure. 

After cooking for 10 minutes put in the pasta and broccoli. 

When the pasta and potato are done your stew is finished. Is should take around 20-25minutes to cook the stew so its easy and quick to make.
