Diabla Con Vegetables Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.

2. 2

   Add garlic

   Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

3. 3

   Cook peppers

   Add sliced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their aroma.

4. 4

   Introduce mixed vegetables

   Stir in the mixed vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli). Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

5. 5

   Prepare diabla sauce

   In a separate small pan, combine crushed tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld flavors.

6. 6

   Combine sauce with vegetables

   Pour the diabla sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat evenly and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to integrate and the vegetables to finish cooking.

7. 7

   Finish and loosen

   Stir in lime juice and vegetable broth to achieve desired consistency. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes. Adjust the sauce with additional salt or pepper to taste if needed.

8. 8

   Taste and garnish

   Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with black pepper. Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top as a fresh, bright finish.

9. 9

   Serve

   Portion the Diabla Con Vegetables onto plates. Serve hot, optionally with rice, warm tortillas, or crusty bread on the side to sop up the flavorful diabla sauce.
