Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Vegetables

    Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel the carrots and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Chop the broccoli into florets, slice the bell peppers into strips, and cut the zucchini into half-moons.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Vegetables

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and blanch for 3 minutes. Then add the broccoli and bell peppers and blanch for an additional 2 minutes. Finally, add the zucchini and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and transfer the vegetables to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drain the vegetables from the ice water and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
