Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables: slice the onion into thin strips, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Separate the broccoli and cauliflower into small florets.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Next, add the broccoli and cauliflower florets. Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring all the vegetables are covered. If needed, add a bit more broth or water.
Stir in the fresh thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and let the vegetables simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the savory simmered vegetables hot as a wholesome side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
