Steps:
- Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
- In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
- Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook carrots, red pepper, and broccoli stirring occasionally for 6 minutes or until tender crisp.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in parsley, heat through, and season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose vegetables that complement each other in terms of color, texture, and flavor. For example, you might combine roasted carrots, Brussels sprouts, and parsnips for a sweet and savory medley, or broccoli, cauliflower, and snap peas for a more vibrant dish.
- Don't be afraid to mix and match different cooking methods. Roasting, grilling, and sautéing are all great ways to prepare vegetables. You can also try pickling, brining, or fermenting vegetables for a more unique flavor profile.
- Season your vegetables generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points, but you can also experiment with other herbs and spices. A squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil can also help to brighten up the flavors.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking vegetables, it's important to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast or sauté, and they will end up mushy.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will lose their flavor and texture. Aim for a tender-crisp texture, where the vegetables are still slightly firm but easily pierced with a fork.
Conclusion:
A vegetable medley is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or appetizer. With so many different vegetables to choose from, there are endless possibilities for flavor and texture combinations. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give vegetable medley a try!
