Categories     side-dish

Time 17m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
6 cremini mushrooms, chopped
4 broccoli florets, chopped
1/2 zucchini, chopped
1/2 yellow summer squash, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chicken stock

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the all of the vegetables and cook until just starting to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the oregano, soy sauce and chicken stock and stir well and cook just until vegetables are wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Fresh vegetables will have the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
  • Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Use a high-quality oil: A good oil will help the vegetables brown and caramelize. Olive oil, avocado oil, and grapeseed oil are all good choices.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good basic seasonings. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Sautéed vegetables are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sautéed vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious and nutritious sautéed vegetable dish at home.
