A fresh and easy recipe for summer by Zona Franca: Sauteed Vegetables
Ingredients for 6 people: 300 grams of broad beans, 2 leeks, 2 celeries, 3 carrots, 2 american potatoes, 1/3 of a little spring greens cabbage. Wash and clean the veggies very well, peel the potatoes and the carrots.
Roll-cut the leeks, cut the broad beans into three parts, roll-cut the carrots with a lenght of a half cm, the potatoes into thin slices of a half cm, the cabbage into medium slices.
Wash and drain well, take a big pan, at least three times bigger than the quantity of the veggies, put inside the seeds of 3 cardamom pods and a spoon of coriander seeds, toast them softly trying not to burn them, add 3/4 of a spoon of extravergin olive oil. Cook them at high temperature without letting the oil steam. When the temperature is very high, put the veggies inside the pan, creating ta thermal shock by always keeping the fire at very high temperatures. The pan should stay open, the vegetables don’t have to steam neither to grill. Add salt and pepper depending on your taste.
Use 2 steel tablespoons to turn the vegetables in the frying pan for about 8/10 minutes. When you start to see that the potatoes and the cabbage become al dente, switch off the fire, cover them and leave them cooking for other 5 minutes. Check that the vegetables aren’t uncooked. It’s better to cook them al dente, instead of risking to cook them too much.
Serve the plate at a medium temperature.
