Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Carrots, sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets, separate the cauliflower into similar-sized florets, and slice the carrots and red bell pepper into thin strips.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Add the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to the skillet. Stir them well to coat with the olive oil and garlic.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid, add the sliced red bell pepper, and stir the vegetables. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables, then season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Transfer the California Medley to a serving dish and serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
