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.
Garlic Green Vegetables
Green vegetables in garlic butter
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Sliced Green Beans
- 3 Cups Broccoli
- 2 Bunches Asparagus, Sliced
- 2 Cups Brussel Sprouts, halved
- 2 Cups Sugar Snap Peas, trimmed
- 2-3 Tbsp Butter
- 1-2 Cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
- Steam or boil vegetables individually until just cooked.
- Allow to cool if not serving straight away.
- In a large fry pan melt butter over low heat, add garlic and vegetables and toss until warmed through, 5 minutes or so.
Notes
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.
