Basic Tomatoes, Herbs & Garlic plus Roast Beef

Whenever I'm in the market, I always grab a few bunches of herbs (coriander, parsley & dill) juli,e with the tomatoes, onions and garlic.  As I would say, one could never have enough of herbs in the fridge ... If only I could grow them, I would ... Don't have a big windowsill and a garden a bit bigger than a postage stamp (seriously, it is nice to have the neighbours take care of it ... All I have is a grape plant, which isn't getting any bigger but not dying on me YET!).

As anyone in the northern hemisphere know, spring is here and summer would be close-by ... Meaning need to trim a bit ... Like how I wish I could trim a bit ... But that never stops me from trying to do someone good-old-fashioned combinations (I think).

What did I do this time ... 
* leftover (quarter of a) courgettes cut in julienne;
* leftover (quarter of a big) carrot cut in brunoise;
* an onion finely chopped;
* tablespoon of crushed garlic;
* tablespoon of capers
* 125ml of cooking olive oil
* 2-3 drops of chilli oil. 

Sautéed the onions & garlic in hot olive oil ... Then, the tomatoes and the carrots, followed by the courgette and capers. Super SARAP ... It felt so Southern Europe ... Fresh!

Served it with a simple homemade roast beef and grilled courgettes ... EET SMAKKELIJK!
