ITALIAN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large nonstick frying pan put the olive oil, garlic and red chili flakes (optional). Heat over high heat until the edges of the garlic start to brown.
• Add the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini and stir to blend.
• Add the Italian seasoning and stir again.
• Flip the vegetables over occasionally using a spachula. Some of the vegetables should get brown spots on them, but the vegetables taste best if there is still a slight crispness to them.
• When the vegetables are ready, add salt.
• Turn off heat.
• If desired, stir in a deseeded and diced roma (plum) tomato at this time-optional.
• I have had similar recipes at Italian restaurants, so I eventually made up my own recipe to go with my meals at home.

NORTHERN ITALIAN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• 1. In a steamer, place the sliced carrots, the whole new potatoes, and broccoli florets. Place a lid on top and allow vegetables to steam until done to your liking. (I don't let them steam too long since I like my vegetables crunchy. Remember, you're going to add them to the skillet and cook them a little further.)
• 2. In a large skillet, pour the olive oil. Add all the seasonings, and sauté the zucchini and mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes.
• 3. When done, add all the steamed vegetables to the skillet, toss well to coat with the olive oil and seasonings. Heat thoroughly and serve.
• 4. (Can be served with a couple of shakes of Parmesan cheese on top, if desired)
