Not our own compost this year (as yet), but we still have the desire for this dish; a true family favourite.
This particular example consisted of supermarket-bought spuds, beans, aubergine, red pepper, courgette, and a few broad beans.
All cooked and fried in olive oil, salted, and with dried herbs and plenty of ground cumin thrown in at the last minute.
What a treat.

Looks similar to my meal last night where I chopped up everything left in the crisper and fried it up with a little curry powder.
My version of your Compost Fry-Up is Use-It-Up Stir Fry. My late husband used to walk into the kitchen and look at the "mess" in the fry pan and say OMG you have been cleaning out the refrigerator again. It might often have looked like a mess but it tasted and was a gourmet treat to me. A sort of exotic comfort food. I also hate to waste food especially now that it has become so expensive.
I do the same when we have veg getting to the end of its life.
It looks tasty. There does seem to be some sort of glaze - or is that just the potatoes breaking down?
Did you use Cumin (or something else) as a flavouring? Without it I would find it quite dull.
Better than throwing it out!
It had lots of Olive Oil, and some Butter.
We had that for tea last night, it's become my favourite thing to cook when I can't think of anything else, it's delicious. We usually have it with a couple of fried eggs on top as well.
My wife actually 'demanded' it, it's one of her favourites. However, she did scold me for not having put enough ground cumin on it; but I think it's her taste buds that are to blame.
Looks tasty. Have you tried it with 5 spice powder?
No, but I imagine that would be very good too. I'm a big fan of Cumin.
Not a fan of fried food, but it does look very tasty.
I actually prefer fried and BBQ'd food. I find it tastier!
I want a plate of that Cro and I want it now - or better still the panful!
Mmmm a really tasty summer dish. I made moussaka today with our first aubergines and zucchini
It was delicious. So simple yet very satisfying.
My Zucchini are in flower, but no fruits yet.
This looks delicious and a very colorful dish. Soon you'll be using your home grown veg!
In about another week or so we should have a couple of ingredients.
And where has my comment flown off to?
