Steps for Pan-Cooked Vegetables
Start by cleaning the vegetables you have chosen and proceed to cut them into small pieces, so that the cooking is faster and more uniform.
Place the vegetables in a large pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and add half a glass of water. Cover with the lid and let cook for about 30 minutes. The vegetables will be ready when they can be easily pierced with a fork, becoming tender and flavorful.
Towards the end of cooking, remove the lid, adjust with salt and add the spices you prefer to give an extra touch of flavor. Your pan-cooked vegetables are ready to be enjoyed. See you at the next recipe!
