Spicy Ragout (Ragu) (Amazazing)

So I have been obsessively watching my new favorite Food Network show Chopped. I love that show! Watching it has given me tons of new ideas along with this one which is absolutely deeelicioussss!!! The cooks on the show had to make something with English cucumbers and other random ingredients and Chef Madison (who I hope wins Champions!!) made a ragout which sounded interesting too me and looked awesome. I googled and found a recipe that I modified somewhat to what I had and have made it twice this week (so far). Trust me, its amazing. If you want to add something more you could try pan fried polenta underneath it, but I was stuffed after since its so substantial. (it looks like a lot of slicing, but it took about five min to do all the prep work, really).


Ingredients

2 green onions, sliced (or 1 med. onion)
1 carrot, sliced
