STEAMED VEGGIES


So simple and delicious!


1. Wash and cut your favorite veggies into the desired bite sized pieces. A tip, cut those varieties that take longer to cook into smaller thinner pieces, those that cook faster into larger chunks. Then you don't end up with hard under cooked carrots together with mushy over cooked squash.

2. Place the cut veggies into a steamer basket n a pot containing about 1 inch of water. When it comes to a boil cover the pot, turn heat down to low and cook just until veggies are tender but still firm.

3. Serve immediately with a drizzle of evoo if desired.
