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
- Gather your ingredients: Start by gathering fresh vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, and a handful of peas. Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Prep the herbs: Finely chop fresh herbs such as basil and parsley; set them aside.
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil. Allow it to warm for about a minute.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
