How to prepare Vegetables in a pan

To prepare the vegetables in a pan, start by cleaning the spring onion: remove the ends and the first skin 1, then chop it quite finely 2. Move on to the vegetables, preferably keep all the vegetables cut to the same size and separate. Start with the eggplants, trim them and divide them 3.

Make incisions 4 and remove part of the central pulp 5, then cut into strips 6

Finally, obtain cubes no larger than about 3/4 inch 7. Do the same with the yellow peppers by removing the stem 8 and then cutting them into pieces 9.

Do the same again for the red peppers 10 and the zucchini 11. Lastly, divide the cherry tomatoes into quarters 12

Move to the stove. Heat some oil in a saucepan and toss in the onions 13, letting them stew gently 14. Then add the eggplants and peppers, cooking for about 5 minutes 15.

Next, add the zucchini 16 and after another 5 minutes, the cherry tomatoes 17. At this point, add salt, pepper, and another dash of oil 18.

Cook everything over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally 19. When cooked, turn off the heat, add a fragrance of hand-torn basil 20, and your vegetables in a pan are ready to be enjoyed hot, warm, or cold 21!

Storage

The vegetables in a pan can be stored in the fridge for a maximum of a couple of days; note that the texture will be lost.

The same goes for freezing; you can do it, but they will become waterlogged.

Tip

Add pre-cooked legumes such as chickpeas or cannellini beans, or even peas, which you can cook along with the rest of the vegetables.
