Sauteed Spring Vegetables image

These vegetables are used as a bed for Salmon with Warm Passion-Fruit Vinaigrette, but would also be good as a side dish with grilled meat or on their own as a warm salad.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces carrots, peeled and cut diagonally into 1-inch-long pieces
6 ounces beans (wax and/or green), trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch-long pieces
6 ounces asparagus (green and/or white), tough ends trimmed, cut diagonally into 1-inch-long pieces
6 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed, and cut diagonally into 1-inch-long pieces
6 ounces cherry tomatoes (yellow and/or orange), cut in half
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn in half

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and carrots; cook 2 minutes. Add beans, asparagus, and sugar snap peas; cook until tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer vegetables to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain again.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add blanched vegetables, tomatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Raise heat to medium high; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add basil, and toss to combine.

I found that the vegetables were a bit undercooked for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.
