Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 250 grams Green beans
- 250 grams Carrots
- 200 grams Fresh peas or frozen peas
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 ml Chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut any large potatoes in half. Set aside.
Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into 2-inch lengths. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch rounds.
If using fresh peas, shell them; if using frozen peas, measure out the required amount and let them defrost slightly.
In a large pot, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the baby potatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly coated in the butter.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes.
Add the carrots to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the green beans and peas to the pot, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until all the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and let the mixture warm through for 3-5 minutes. Do not allow it to boil.
Season the hodgepodge with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped dill just before serving.
Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill if desired. Enjoy your hearty and delicious Hodgepodge!
