Boiled Vegetables

Boiled vegetables Recipe are simply vegetables that have been cooked in boiling water until they reach a desired level of tenderness.

Common examples include boiled carrots, potatoes, broccoli, or green beans.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups of your choice of vegetables (e.g., carrots, broccoli, potatoes, peas, etc.)

• Pepper (optional, to taste)


• Butter or olive oil (optional, for flavor)

Instructions:

   • Wash the vegetables thoroughly under running water to remove dirt.
   
   
   • Peel if necessary (e.g., for potatoes or carrots), and chop into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
   
   


2. Boil the Water:
   • Fill a medium-sized pot with enough water to fully submerge the vegetables.
   
   
   • Add a pinch of salt to the water (optional) and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
   
   


3. Cook the Vegetables:
   • Carefully add the vegetables to the boiling water.

     • Carrots: 10-15 minutes
     
     
     • Broccoli: 5-7 minutes
     
     
     • Potatoes: 15-20 minutes
     
     
     • Green beans: 5-10 minutes
   
   


4. Drain and Season:
   • Once cooked, drain the vegetables using a colander.
   
   
   • Return to the pot or serving dish. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste (optional).
   
   


5. Serve:
   • Serve warm as a side dish or mix into other recipes as desired.
