Cacciatore di Verdure

Welcome to the first day of VeganMoFo! I've been cooking up some recipes from the 21 Day Vegan Kickstart Meal Plan the past couple of days, but also creating recipes based on what I already had in my fridge and pantry. This Cacciatore is a result. I chopped all the veggies in nice large chunks.

1 chopped onion
1 chopped bell pepper
1 chopped zucchini
1 chopped stalk celery
3-4 cloves minced garlic
2-3 large portobello caps
1 cup stewed tomatoes
1-2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1-2  tbsp capers (optional)
1 tbsp ground thyme
1 tbsp dried oregano
1/2 cup vegan chardonnay

Saute vegetables in olive oil until slightly browned. Add tomatoes, herbs and wine. Simmer until vegetables are tender and wine has cooked down to a thick sauce. Drain and rinse capers and stir into vegetables. Toss with cooked noodles to serve.

This should make enough for 3-4 people but I was really hungry!

Note - Many vintners use blood and bone marrow, casein (milk protein), chitin (fiber from crustacean shells), egg albumen (derived from egg whites), fish oil, gelatin (protein from boiling animal parts), and isinglass (gelatin from fish bladder membranes) to clarify their wines.
