Roasted veg and meatballs

This is a 'what to do with those vegetables that are at the bottom of the fridge' moment. Firstly I love red skin potatoes roasted in the oven with some olive oil, some sea salt and rosemary. Tonight we're having meatballs and gravy, ready made meatballs, hey I'm not perfect, So in the bottom of my fridge was:
half a leek ( once I'd chopped off the mushy bit)
2 large courgettes
red, orange and green peppers
garlic cloves 5 or 6
red onions
a tub of cherry tomatoes
Sprinkle with olive oil, some oregano and a little tarragon.
Roast in oven @ 200 for 30-40 mins.

Broccoli and tuna

Lunch today was a wholegrain sandwich made with a tin of tuna mixed with a couple of spoonfulls of greek yogurt. Sometimes I add a little mustard. I find mayo too sweet and sticky and I really like the clean sharp flavour of the yogurt mixed with the tuna. Its good mixed with cottage cheese too, but thats better on ryvitas or crackers as the bread goes too mushy!
I added some iceberg lettuce and some florets of broccoli for extra crunch. Im trying to make sure I have proper veggies ie not just lettuce, they are much more satisfying.
Here's some interesting facts re broccoli:
Its been around for more than 2000 years
It is known for its cancer preventing properties
It was first grown in Italy in the province of Calabria and known as Calabrese
It's a good source of Vitamin A, and vitamin C, potas
sium, folacin, iron and fiber. Broccoli has as much calcium ounce per ounce as milk and contains a few important phytochemicals: beta-carotene, indoles and isothiocyanates.
