Goats Cheese & Stir Fry Vegetables

After 4 weeks of indulging in lots of good food I felt a need to make something with a bit more vegetables! Lets get back to the low carb and healthy life..

This was quick and easy to throw together and had lots of rich flavours.

I fried off some bacon first, removed it and then added in the shallots so they’d cook in the bacon drippings (yes, I still think this is healthy!) And utterly tasty, it wasn’t too much so I don’t feel bad at all!, I added the courgettes to this to soak up all the remaining drippings.

I added the other veg then cooked til it was tender to my liking, popped in the goats cheese and let it melt over the heat for a few minutes before plating up. Then toss in the bacon!

I added a slice of prosciutto on top and served with olives on the side for a real mediterranean feel.

I really love the combination of goats cheese and red peppers, they work very well together.

I didn’t really measure things so I’ve just given estimates in the recipe. Try it with other veggies and let me know what you think.

Happy Eating,
