{MOROCCAN VEGETABLES}

I found this recipe in the February issue of Better Nutrition magazine.  I really liked it; Mike said it was ok. The original recipe is for a slow cooker, and calls for chicken.  Baked tofu would be great in it, but I left it out this time.  I made it in the pressure cooker, so that's what I'll post.

prepared brown rice or quinoa


water to saute
2 c. onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. fresh ginger, grated (or 1 t. ground ginger)

2 c. green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 large carrots, sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced

1/4 t. pepper
