Sage Vegetables and Soy Ribs Over Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Warm and savory, this recipe is one of the most perfect comfort foods I've ever made. Like many of my recipes, this one was made on the fly one late night. It was quick, easy, and very tasty. I would highly suggest you try it yourself on a night where you just want something that will warm your heart without requiring too much fuss.

Yield: one dinner

Ingredients

2/3 c. instant or leftover mashed potatoes

garlic powder to taste

1 T. olive oil

1/2 clove of garlic, minced

1/2 bell pepper of any color, sliced (or the equivalent if you're using a variety of colors)

1/2 onion, sliced

1/2 t. sage

dash of salt

1 Morningstar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblet

1. Prepare the mashed potatoes according the package, or reheat the leftover potatoes, adding in the garlic powder. Set aside.

2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over med/high heat. Saute the garlic for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Take care that you don't burn the garlic. Add in the peppers and onions, cooking covered until soft. Sprinkle the sage and the salt over the vegetables, cooking for a minute or two longer. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3. Cook the riblet according to the package.

4. To assemble, spoon the potatoes onto a plate, followed by the vegetables, and finally the riblet.

5. Enjoy!
