  1. 1

    One each of the following Organic sweet onion, turnip, zucchini, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, yellow bell pepper.

    Completely cover the bottom of the pan.

    You will be alternating the vegetables in a patterned ring. Turnip, 2 zucchini, turnip, red bell pepper, turnip, yellow bell pepper, turnip, orange bell pepper and so on.

    Place this pattern of vegetables on top of the ingredients in the pan.

    Your ring should complete a circle around the edge of the pan. Place scraps in the center and cover with the end of the peppers.
    Drizzle a little bit of the olive oil over the ring of vegetables and sprinkle about 3 teaspoons of thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper.

    The amount varies depending upon the season and size of vegetables you select. Left overs can be refrigerated or frozen. We have even enjoyed this rewarmed served with poached eggs instead of the potatoes.
