Midweek Color Burst in a Skillet
Fresh seasonal vegetables sizzle in olive oil, kissed with garlic and herbs, until edges caramelize and cores stay tender — vibrant, simple, and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 10 florets of cauliflower
- 10 florets of broccoli
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables:
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets and place them in a colander to drain. Slice and chop the remaining ingredients and add them to the colander. - Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Begin sautéing the vegetables, starting with the firmer ones (e.g., carrots, broccoli, cauliflower), so they soften evenly. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crunchy. - Optional Softening:
If you prefer softer vegetables, add 30-40 g of water to the pan and allow the vegetables to steam until the water is absorbed. - Season and Finish:
Five minutes before turning off the heat, add the salt, pepper, and sweet paprika. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
