Sometimes it's hard to believe that healthy things can taste great...but they do!

Steamed Vegetables (20 mins)
Cauliflower, carrots, broccoli or your favourite vegetables
Salt
- Soak the vegetables in a tub of clean water, then wash them.
- Peel the skin of the carrots, then slice them into french-fry shapes (see picture below).
- Use a pair of scissors to cut off the little 'trees' of the broccoli and cauliflower. I find that using scissors is easier, cleaner and reduces the crumbly bits that fall out.
- Place all the vegetables on a stainless steel plate.
- Place a steaming rack in the middle of a wok or non-stick frying pan. Then, fill the wok/pan with water; the water level should be slightly lower than the top of the steaming rack.
- Put the stainless steel plate on top of the steaming rack, then cover the wok and leave the vegetables to steam away merrily for about 10 - 15 minutes or until as tender as you like. You can use a fork to test the tenderness of the veggies.
- Serve.
