Rich in fiber, colors and taste, this 10 vegetable medley is one of my favorite recipe for the winter. This recipe is very easy to prepare and pretty delicious with any protein source. Fennel, turnips, carrots, zucchini, onion, celeriac and more. This will yield approximately 12 servings or more.
Prepare it during the weekend so you have a great source of vegetables for the week ahead.
You will need a large cast-iron Dutch oven type of cookware to enhance slow-cooking by heating evenly and locking in moisture in your vegetables for more tender results.
We also create amazing layers of rich flavors by adding cinnamon, turmeric, parsley, coriander and more… medley
