Cooking made easy:


Almost whatsoever vegetable could hold out used for this dish. Again, this dish is a perfect way to larn rid of the trivial chip of leftover vegetables.

Just ensure that you lot exercise non overcook the vegetables otherwise the dish volition plough into mush!

Cook the vegetables over the stove-top inwards a pot. To relieve time, I operate along a small-scale pot amongst trivial H2O to boil. As the H2O is boiling I chop the vegetable that volition larn inwards first, the 1 that requires the most cooking time; inwards my example the potatoes. I operate along chopping together with adding vegetables similar this starting amongst the vegetable requiring the most cooking fourth dimension to the 1 that requires the least, inwards my example the zucchini. By the fourth dimension I add together the zucchini in,the vegetables are virtually done. This makes cooking to a greater extent than efficient.
