A vibrant and healthy dish featuring sautéed asparagus, bell peppers, and peas with a touch of lemon and fresh herbs.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Fresh herbs (basil, parsley), chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Start by gathering fresh vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, and a handful of peas. Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prep the herbs: Finely chop fresh herbs such as basil and parsley; set them aside.
  3. Heat the pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil. Allow it to warm for about a minute.
  4. Sauté the vegetables: Add the asparagus first, allowing it to cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften. Next, toss in your bell peppers and peas. Sauté everything for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add flavor: Just before the vegetables reach the desired tenderness, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and sprinkle your chopped herbs on top. Mix well and sauté for another minute to meld the flavors.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or toss it with quinoa for a healthy main course.
