Mancare de praz cu masline / Leek & olive stew

In timpul postului, o mancare foarte simpla pe care trebuie neaparat sa o incercati este cea de praz cu masline :) Foarte, foarte gustoasa, se face usor si, alaturi de o felie de paine proaspata de casa, poate constitui o masa vegana perfecta, satioasa si hranitoare :)

Ingrediente (3-4 portii):

• 4 fire de praz
• 2 lg ulei de masline
• 1 ceapa rosie
• 1 morcov
• 1 ardei capia
• 300ml suc de rosii
• sare, piper dupa gust
• 100g masline

Dam pe razatoare morcovul si tocam ceapa marunt. Incalzim uleiul intr-o cratita incapatoare si calim ceapa si morcovul, pana ceapa devine translucida, adaugam apoi prazul taiat rondele potrivite (doar partea alba).

Cand prazul incepe sa se inmoaie putin, adaugam sucul de rosii, sare, piper si ardeiul tocat. Lasam mancarea pe foc aprox 10-15 min, amestecand din cand in cand si adaugand putin apa daca sosul scade prea mult. La final adaugam si maslinele si servim mancarea calda. Pofta mare! :)
