Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g broccoli florets
- 200 g cauliflower florets
- 2 large carrots
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 100 g green beans
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 200 ml unsalted vegetable broth
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli and cauliflower into small florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and cut the zucchini and yellow squash into half-moons. Trim the green beans and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the unsalted vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and green beans to the skillet. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and pepper.
Cover the skillet and allow the vegetables to steam for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to let the remaining liquid evaporate, stirring until the vegetables have a slight glaze.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving and enjoy your heart-healthy Normandy vegetables.
