Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Add sliced mushrooms and let them brown. While the mushrooms begin to cook, cut the peppers in half and pull out the seeds and connective membranes and throw them into your garbage bowl. Cut peppers in quarters lengthwise, then slice across. Cut onion in half and peel it. Cut off ends and cut the half onion in half-again lengthwise, then slice the onions across. Add peppers and onions to mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook veggies another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the veggies are just tender but still have a little crunch left to them and lots of bright color. Remove veggies from the heat and add 2 tablespoons of cilantro-lime butter. Toss veggies to melt butter then serve.
- Cut butter into chunks. Place butter in a bowl. Place bowl in microwave and cook on high for 15 seconds. To chop herbs super-fine, hold the tip of your knife on a cutting board and move the back of your knife up and down very fast going over the herbs again and again. Stir in chopped cilantro and lime zest and juice into the butter using a rubber spatula. Transfer the butter onto a large strip of plastic wrap.
- Gather the ends of the plastic wrap in on 1 hand and use a straight edge, like a small cookie sheet pan, to push the butter back and away from your body making the butter take on a log shape. Gently roll the log wrapped in plastic back and forth on the countertop to evenly round out the shape. Twist up the extra wrap on the ends and place the compound butter log into the freezer to make the butter cold enough to slice again.
LAMB WITH SAUTEED VEGGIES
My parents raised sheep for more than 30 years, so I have several lamb recipes. Not only are these chops tender, but they cook quickly. While the lamb broils, I saute zucchini and red pepper to accompany it. People always comment on this great combination. -Ruth Lee, Troy, Ontario

Steps:
- In a small bowl, with a whisk, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil if using and ginger. Add 2 tablespoon of canola oil while whisking. Set aside.
- In a large non adhesive skillet, heat remaining canola oil at medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, green beans and 1/2 cup of the sauce (step 1) and stir. Keep cooking 3 to 5 minutes. Add arugula and bok choy and cook, stirring, until soften. Add the remaining sauce and bring to boil. Cover and cook about 7 minutes or until green beans and brocoli are tender.
- Spread cooked pasta and the veggies in 4 plates. Sprinkle each serving with sesame seeds. Serve now.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well and have a slightly sweet flavor, such as broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, are ideal for sautéing. Leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, can also be sautéed, but they should be added towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from wilting.
- Cut the vegetables uniformly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a variety of vegetables, cut them into pieces that are all about the same size.
- Heat the pan over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the vegetables and prevent them from stewing.
- Use a little oil or butter: Just enough to coat the bottom of the pan is all you need. If you are using a non-stick pan, you may not need any oil or butter at all.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Stir the vegetables frequently: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also help them to cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings that work well with sautéed vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Sautéed vegetables are best served hot. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Sautéed vegetables are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. They are quick and easy to make, and they can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little practice, you can master the art of sautéing vegetables and create delicious dishes that the whole family will love.
