Feel-good recipes

Twenty minutes, and they stay crispy

Pumpkin, bell peppers, and cauliflower florets sautéed over high heat, deglazed with balsamic vinegar and flavored with five spices. The maple syrup is added at the end, when the heat is almost off.

They are made with seasonal vegetables: the recipe structure remains the same.

Ingredients

What is needed

Serves 2-3 people.

200g of peeled pumpkin

150g fleshy peppers

200 g white cauliflower florets

½ onion

1 clove of garlic

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons Pure Dark Maple Syrup

1 dusting of five-spice

Salt and pepper

Preparation

Five steps

The fund

Finely chop the onion, peel the garlic clove, and sauté them in a pan with two tablespoons of oil.

Vegetables

Pour them into a pan and sauté them over high heat for 10 minutes.

Fades

With the balsamic vinegar, then season with salt, pepper, and spices.

Finish cooking

Add a little water if necessary: in the end, the liquid should be almost completely absorbed and the vegetables still crunchy.

The syrup

Combine, toss the sweet and sour vegetables, and serve.

The advice

Two things to know

High flame, not medium. This is what keeps the vegetables crispy: on low heat, they release water and fall apart.

Garlic is in the preparation but was not on the old site's list. We have added it to the ingredients because the step requires it.
