Ingredients
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 200 grams Green beans
- 100 grams Spinach leaves
- 50 grams Almonds (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon (juice)
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables: rinse and trim the broccoli and green beans, and wash the spinach leaves thoroughly.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat without oil, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Remove them and set aside.
Step 3
Add the water to a steamer pot or a large saucepan with a steamer insert and bring to a boil.
Step 4
Place the broccoli and green beans in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for 7-8 minutes or until they are tender but still vibrant green. Add the spinach for the last 1-2 minutes of steaming.
Step 5
While the vegetables are steaming, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Once the vegetables are done, transfer them to a serving platter and drizzle with the garlic-lemon olive oil mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top evenly to add a crunchy finish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
