Ingredients




1 pound fresh snow peas or green beans
1 sm. bunch broccoli (about 12 oz.)
1 sm. sweet red peppertbsp. vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

1 1. Remove strings and tips from snow peas or green beans. Cut flowerets off broccoli stalks in 2 1/2" lengths. Split large flowerets in half. Peel tough outer woody layer off broccoli stalks. Diagonally slice broccoli stalks. If using green beans, cut each in half. Cut pepper in to 2" x 1/4" strips. 2 2. Cook broccoli stalk slices in large pot of boiling water, 1 minute. (If using green beans instead of snow peas, cook with broccoli slices.) Add flowerets and cook 1 1/2 minutes longer. Add snow peas and cook 30 seconds. Drain vegetables in colander under cold running water to prevent further cooking. 3 3. Heat oil and butter in large skillet. Add sweet red pepper and saute over medium high heat just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add blanched vegetables, salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are heated through. 4 To Make Ahead: Vegetables may be blanched hours in advance, cooled, drained and refrigerated. Reheating will take a little longer if vegetables are used directly from refrigerator.
