RUSS'S VEGETABLE MELANGE
My husband Russ has been making this lately when we have odd veg in the fridge. I think he's almost got it right as his one was great. We actually planned to make coleslaw, but the weather turned cold and we had to re-think dinner. This was great with roast chicken. The last time he made this, he used leek instead of onion. Feel free to vary the veg.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
- Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will always taste better than frozen or canned vegetables. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or grow your own.

- Add Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your vegetables. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
- Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: Don't just boil your vegetables. Try roasting, grilling, sautéing, or stir-frying them. This will give you a variety of textures and flavors.
- Serve Vegetables as a Main Course: Vegetables are not just a side dish. They can be a delicious and satisfying main course. Try making a vegetable stir-fry, soup, or curry.
