Given your list plus you have meat and a few other dishes, a stew of some sort would be a good way to go. Plus, you can freeze the stew and reheat it when you do return. smiley - smiley

You could also, if you had flour tortillas (which last a long time without spoiling) make a veggie quesadilla, which are also very good. There you first cook the ingredients until they soften in a separate pan, put a tortilla in a second pan, and spread some cheese in it. Next, you put in some of the veggies from the other pan onto the tortilla and cheese mixture, cover with a second tortilla and cook until the cheese melts, flipping off and on so the tortillas crisp evenly.

If you also have salsa, you can top it with salsa. Plus, you can usually freeze the leftover veggies and reheat later on to add to soups or make another tortilla.

2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side...

smiley - biggrinsmiley - wow well in the end I just cooked it all... but not the tomatos, I've yet to decide apon their fate smiley - evilgrinsmiley - tomato
I finely chopped all the onions and mushrooms, though some of the mushrooms were left hole/cut in half.
They were all fried off, with some of the celery too and the bag of chilli peppers and the green pepper and with ground tumeric, oregano, and ground cumin, then I threw in a few chicken breasts (defrosted and diced fairly largeish chunks), and did that until the chicken was pretty much cooked, then some worstershire sauce, just a dash, and a bit of soya sauce (OK I picked the soya sauce up thinking it was the worstershire sauce first so that wasn't exactly planned). smiley - droolsmiley - droolsmiley - droolsmiley - erm I was* going to put some/all of the toamtos in too but forgot/ran out of time, as teh spuds were cooked (wedges done in the overn with olive oil paprica and garum mucarla ) smiley - drool
What is left (at least half), I'll have tomorrow probably with rice, though I may be tempted to add a handful or two of tomatos to the chicken dish tomorrow to use them up, or perhaps do the toamtos with the rice instead smiley - droolsmiley - magic
Not got anything in for lunch tomorrow though, cept bread smiley - dohsmiley - ermsmiley - run

I'd recommend the tomatoes in rice, some crushed so the flavors blend in with the rice. If you have some V8 juice, if you add a little to it, it also adds a nice touch to the food as well. (This also works great if you have the hot and spicy kind with scrambled eggs. smiley - drool)

If not, if you have some herbed vinegar, that also works well as a touch to the rice and tomatoes. smiley - smiley

Think I've still an onion left too, it'd probalby be alright to leave that until I get back but I may just use it up with the toamtos and whatever else I can find (sure there is some more celery left), to make a veg pilo type affair with the rice tonight smiley - drool
Mind, I'm more worried about the lack of things left in for lunch smiley - wahsmiley - run
