Ingredients
  • 2-3 cups vegetables (any combination works)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup small edible flowers
Instructions
  1. Wash and clean all the veggies. Fresh from the garden there is usually dirt, even a bug or two. Make sure those are all washed off and the dirt gently scrubbed away. I used baby carrots (true baby - harvested when small), baby beets, two cherry peppers and some green beans. 

  2. Melt the butter and add the vegetables. Gently sauté until they are fork tender.

  3. Move to a serving plate and garnish with edible flowers, like the blue borage I used. Violets, pansies, and nasturtiums are great. Any herb flower, like chives, parsley or cilantro also add a touch of flavor and color.

  4. Serve hot!!
