Steamed Buttered Veggies

This is a very simple dish and is often used as a side to a protein main course. If you want to reduce on your carbs intake then it is best had as a filler as well. Kids who dislike veggies also tend to like this simple side dish owing to the flavour of the butter or duck fat.

You need:

• Vegetables of your choice, diced well : 2 cups
• 1 tbsp of Butter or 1 tbsp of Duck fat
• Thyme leaves - 2 sprigs (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Water to steam

The Make:

Preparation time: 10-15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes | Serves 2

1. Fill a pot with half full with water and place a colander on top to hold the veggies.

2. On high heat, cover the colander with the veggies. 

3. Once the water reaches a boil reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes.

4. Once cook, transfer to a bowl and toss in with the butter or duck fat, optional separated thyme leaves and salt to taste.

Serve hot with your favourite main protein Roasted Beef with baked potatoes.

Bon Appetit!
