What's Cookin' - Broccoli and Carrot Saute

This is a great side dish.  It was simple to make and has fabulous flavor.

Broccoli and Carrot Saute

I found this recipe in Prevention Freezer Cookbook: Quick Dishes for and From the Freezer. However I changed the way I cooked it a little.

2 cups broccoli

2 cups sliced carrots

1 cup chopped onions (I used green onions)

2 Tbsp minced garlic

2 Tbsp lemon juice (I used fresh)

2 Tbsp fresh parsley (I used 2 tsp dried)

2 tsp olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 pepper

1. Heat oil in skillet on medium until shimmering.

2. Put broccoli, carrots and onions in skillet. 

3.  Cook stirring for about 6 - 8 minutes.  

4. Add garlic at the end of cooking to avoid it from burning.  Cook for 1-2 minutes.

5. Vegetables should be crisp when done.  

6.  Turn off heat.  Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley.  Mix well.
