Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb fresh or 2 oz dried morel mushrooms (preferably small)
2 lb fresh fava beans, shelled (2 cups)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 lb thin asparagus, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed
4 bunches scallions (white and pale green parts only), trimmed and cut into 2 1/2-inch lengths
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • If using dried morels, soak in warm water to cover 30 minutes. Agitate fresh or dried morels in water to dislodge grit, then lift from water, squeezing out excess, and pat dry with paper towels. Whether using fresh or dried, leave small morels whole and halve or quarter larger ones.
  • Cook beans in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling salted water 3 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon or skimmer to a colander and rinse under cold water. Peel skins from beans with your fingers. (Keep water simmering, covered.)
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté morels, stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let stand, covered.
  • 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. Add vegetables and remaining 2 tablespoons butter to morels and toss to combine. Stir in mint and salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large zucchini, sliced in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced into half circles
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or just basil, oregano, and marjoram)

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.

SPRING VEGETABLE SAUTé



Spring Vegetable Sauté image

Provided by Oliver Strand

Categories     Bean     Onion     Side     Sauté     Easter     Passover     Vegetarian     High Fiber     Artichoke     Asparagus     Spring     Healthy     Low Cholesterol     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Zest and juice from 1 lemon plus more juice for seasoning
2 pounds baby artichokes, 6 globe artichokes, or 1 pound frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
2 pounds fava beans, shelled (about 1 cup), or 1 cup frozen edamame (soybeans), thawed
Kosher salt
1 pound asparagus (about 1 large bunch), cut on a diagonal into 2" pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint leaves

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!
