• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli and cauliflower into small florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and cut the zucchini and yellow squash into half-moons. Trim the green beans and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Pour in the unsalted vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and green beans to the skillet. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and pepper.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and allow the vegetables to steam for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to let the remaining liquid evaporate, stirring until the vegetables have a slight glaze.

Step 9

Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss to combine.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving and enjoy your heart-healthy Normandy vegetables.
