Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Carrots, sliced
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets, separate the cauliflower into similar-sized florets, and slice the carrots and red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.

Step 3

Add the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to the skillet. Stir them well to coat with the olive oil and garlic.

Step 4

Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Remove the lid, add the sliced red bell pepper, and stir the vegetables. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.

Step 6

Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables, then season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 7

Transfer the California Medley to a serving dish and serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
