Vegetables

Here’s a sampling of vegetables that are easy to make. Only fresh veggies are described here; for frozen ones, just follow the directions on the package.

Corn on the cob Peel almost all of the husk off, leaving enough to cover the kernels. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove the remaining husk and eat.
Zucchini/Courgettes Cut ends off. Cut in halves the long way. Place on a baking sheet or pizza pan; add salt, pepper, and butter to taste. Broil until they starts to toast.
Broiled tomatoes Slice in half perpendicular to the stem (the cross-section should be starlike). Place on a baking tray or pizza pan, and salt and pepper. Broil until they start to char just a bit.
Broccoli Cut the head of broccoli into stalks. You can peel off some of the tougher skin at the base of each stalk if you wish. Microwave, steam, or boil.
Cauliflower Cut a cone out of the bottom so the leaves can be removed. Break the head of cauliflower into pieces. Microwave, steam, or boil.
Mushrooms Slice or chop. Place in a saucepan with salt (pepper and butter optional) and sauté on medium heat until done.
