Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (20 ounce) package california-blend frozen vegetables
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup reduced-fat Italian salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon oregano

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet, bring vegetables and water to a boil.
  • Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Uncover; cook and stir until liquid is almost absorbed.
  • Add the salad dressing, salt, basil and oregano.
  • Cook and stir until heated through.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Vegetables: Use fresh, in-season vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut Vegetables Evenly: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. This will help ensure that all the vegetables are tender and flavorful.
  • Use a Large Skillet or Wok: A large skillet or wok will allow the vegetables to spread out in a single layer, which will help them cook evenly. If you use a smaller pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Sauté the vegetables over medium-high heat until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy and bland.
  • Add Flavorings: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine, vinegar, or lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve Immediately: Italian mixed vegetables are best served immediately after cooking. This will help preserve their鮮豔的顏色和美味.
