Peanut Pepper Stir Fry


Sometimes a little kitchen experiment pays off well!  I was looking through the cupboard and fridge, doing the ole' "what to make for supper" routine.  I didn't want to use meat.  So, well maybe some beans.  I didn't have any cooked and frozen, so ended up with a can of "mixed beans".  
We had lots of peppers from Ashcroft, so it would be nice to use those...and the purple onions too.  HUMM ... Maybe I could mix them all together in a sort of stirfry.
I started making my brown rice (as it takes awhile to cook).
Then the girls chopped up peppers.  I simply sauteed the purple onion, peppers and added the rinsed beans.  
Now, I remember in Indian cooking they put peanuts/peanut butter in some of their dishes.
SO, I stirred up some water, beef soup base, cornstarch and a few tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter.
IT WAS DELICIOUS!
The girls asked me to please make this again.  They practically licked their plates.

  1. I'm thinking I'll put this on my meal plan this week since I have a few of these things kicking around in my house. Thanks for the idea :)
