Saturday Pasta and Veggies

Yesterday we ended up doing a simple dinner of spaghetti with a veggie sauce.

I started by tossing a couple of piri piri peppers in hot olive oil. To this I added a finely diced carrot [box], a finely diced onion, and a minced garlic clove. After the veggies started to soften I added some finely diced salami (air dried salami we bought at a farmhouse in the Jura), sauteed another minute, then added a spoonful of chicken stock and a splash of white wine. This mixture steeped off the heat for a while. Andrea finished the sauce by adding some chard stems [box] that I had stewed in olive oil and chicken stock earlier in the week and some fresh bread crumbs to thicken it up a bit.

This was quite a nice, simple, meal.
