Source of Recipe

Dee Bell


List of Ingredients

2 cups chopped, sliced vegetables
1 teaspoon butter -- melted (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice-preferably fresh
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Salt (optional)
Black pepper


Recipe

Scrub and peel vegetables and cut into 1/2 " slices or cubes. Steam in a basket over water, in a covered pan, for about 6 minutes (for most vegetables.) Thinner, smaller cuts of vegetables will take less time. Start testing for your favorite degree of doneness at about 4 minutes. Drizzle with melted butter (optional) and season to taste with a sprinkle of lemon, lemon zest and pepper.
