Buttered Vegetables

Buttered Vegetables is a simple dish of steamed or boiled vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and peas dressed in seasoned melted butter

Perhaps this is the simplest side dish you can ever make, just choose any vegetables you like, cook them then dress with melted butter. It’s not just the simplest but it can easily accompany any dish that you can think of. There are many ways to make this dish some choose to boil, other use the microwave but for me I steam them so it does not dilute the flavour of the vegetables. I also try to season the melted butter a bit with salt, sugar and freshly ground black pepper.

Instructions

  1. Prepare a steamer and steam your vegetables. Cook to your liking, I like mine a bit crisp so I tend to undercook them.
