Bok choy with yellow pepper

I'm a little upset that my video didn't upload today because I was very excited about my bok choy with yellow peppers. I know you would've been very impressed with the bright seasonal colors. I added a picture, but you're going to have to take my word for it, it was fabulous.

I had never cooked bok choy as a separate dish before. I've used it in a few Asian dishes, but couldn't really taste it, so I didn't even know what it tasted like. I was in the grocery store and had a vision when I saw the bok choy in the produce isle, so I bought some.

I envisioned a bright green and white leafy-celery-looking vegetable doused with olive oil. For more color, I would add a yellow pepper and a few seasonings. That's it. Simple, but adventurous.

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect the bok choy to taste like. I thought it would be somewhere between kale and onions, but had no perception for what the flavor would be. I knew what to expect from the yellow onion, however, and somehow I knew they would be perfect together. I lightly sauteed the bok choy and pepper before adding a small amount of chicken stock and basil, oregano, pepper and sea salt. It was a ton of fun.

It complimented the meal so well, too. I had pan sauteed Burgundy lamb tips and quinoa with basil and garlic. The bok choy finished the meal in perfect fashion and splendid flavor. It was pleasurably crispy with a hint of sweetness from the pepper. I still can't comprehend the flavor of the bok choy, but I savored every bite.
