Wash the zucchini and slice them into thick rounds.

Step 3

Separate the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

Step 4

Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly.

Slice the white part of the leek into thick rings and rinse to remove any dirt trapped between the layers.

Once the water is boiling, add the salt, bay leaves, and black peppercorns for flavor.

After 8 minutes, add the cauliflower and green beans to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Finally, add the zucchini and leek, and continue boiling for another 5-7 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Remove the vegetables from the pot using a slotted spoon and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 12

Optionally, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
