Ingredients

• 2 medium Carrots
• 150 grams Green beans
• 150 grams Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 100 grams Peas
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 150 milliliters Vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into thin batons about 2 inches (5 cm) long.

Step 2

Trim the green beans and cut them in half if they are very long.

Step 3

Cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets.

Step 4

Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons, depending on the size.

Step 5

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl with ice water for blanching.

Step 6

Blanch the carrots, green beans, cauliflower, and peas separately in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes each, until just tender-crisp. Immediately transfer each vegetable to the ice water to stop cooking. Drain them well and set aside.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the blanched vegetables and zucchini to the pan, stirring gently to coat them in the butter and oil.

Step 9

Pour in the vegetable stock, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the stock has mostly absorbed.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
