- Return water in saucepan to a boil, then cook asparagus, sugar snaps, and scallions until crisp-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add beans and immediately drain well in colander.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with salt and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to avoid any burning. Add the zucchini, herbes de Provence, and salt, and pepper, to taste and cook an additional 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to keep the vegetables from overbrowning. Reduce the heat to low, add a little more oil if needed and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once it's done, you can turn off the heat and let it sit there on the stove top or just let it cook some more over very low heat; the dish is very flexible.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel. Fill a medium bowl with water; add lemon juice. If using baby artichokes, working one at a time, cut away tough outer leaves until only pale-yellow leaves remain. Cut 1/2" off tops; trim stems. Halve artichokes lengthwise, if desired, then remove choke with a spoon. Place in lemon water as you finish. If using globe artichokes, remove stems and all leaves. Scrape out chokes with a spoon; cut each artichoke heart into 4 quarters and add to lemon water.
- Cook fava beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Peel and discard outer skins; transfer to prepared baking sheet (if using edamame, boil for only 1 minute; no peeling needed). Repeat cooking process with asparagus and artichokes, returning water to a boil between batches and cooling in ice water before transferring to prepared baking sheet, 3-4 minutes for asparagus and 5-6 minutes for artichokes (1-2 minutes if frozen).
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, just until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.
- Transfer vegetables to a serving bowl. Drizzle with oil; garnish with mint and zest.
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 during the cooking process.
- Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: The fresher your vegetables are, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If your vegetables are cut into different sizes, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will give your vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding. Overcrowding can cause the vegetables to steam instead of stir-frying, resulting in a mushy texture.
- Use a high heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your skillet or wok is hot before you add the vegetables. High heat will help the vegetables sear and develop a nice caramelized flavor.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the vegetables constantly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Stir-frying is a quick, easy, and healthy way to cook vegetables. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and nutritious stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-frying a try!
