Veronica's Vegetables

 

Please use your own skills to modify, substitute and improve as you go along in the exciting world of natural foods cookery.

2 Stalks fresh broccoli
1 cup fresh chopped mushrooms
1 small onion chopped
1 cup string or green beans (fresh or frozen)

Rinse broccoli well, cut 1 inch off stalks, peel off skin if tough. Cut remaining stalk into 1/8 inch pieces up to 1 inch of flowerettes. Wash mushrooms, cut end if stem off, slice and put with prepared broccoli, rinse green beans, snap ends off, and slice, bring 1/2 cup salted water to boil. Add vegetables, turn heat as low as possible for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.

 

How to Sauté Vegetables

Heat a heavy pan to moderate heat. Add a good quality cold pressed oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chopped vegetables (or grain) immediately and stir lightly with a wooden spoon or spatula. After the vegetables have heated through, reduce heat and let the vegetables cook in their own juices until tender. Start with tougher ones first, adding those which are more tender. This is a highly recommended method of cooking, both for taste and nutrition. In nearly any soup as well as grain and vegetable dishes, sautéing in a good unrefined oil prior to simmering locks in taste and tenderness as well as the extra nutrition of the oil.
