Garlic Green Vegetables

When I am cooking for quite a few I find it easy to pre steam/cook my vegetables early then when ready to serve I toss them in a pan with some garlic butter. It is very simple but tasty and makes trying to have everything cooked at the same time a lot easier to manage.

You can use any of your favourite green vegetables and boil or steam them until almost tender, depending on the vegetables I am using will depend on the cooking time. Brussel Sprouts would take the longest through to Asparagus being the shortest cooking time.

Quantities and vegetable variety are a guide only, just be sure not to over cook the vegetables.

If you were to use Zucchini I would pan fry slices in the butter a couple of minutes before adding remaining vegetables instead of steaming first.
