Steamed Vegetables and Yogurt with Garlic
Hello, everyone. Today I will give you a very healthy, vegetarian recipe. This recipe is actually simple and delicious.
You will not believe how good it is after you put only a spoonful of garlic yogurt on ordinary boiled or steamed vegetables.
Let's count the ingredients
Carrot
Pumpkin
Red Pepper
Celery Stalk
Potato
Garlic
Yogurt
As you know, potatoes are not like other vegetables and cook much later than others. So first you cut the potatoes in the way you want to eat them. We preferred to cut them into rings.
Then you need to boil them by throwing them into a separate pot. Otherwise, your potatoes will not grow and your meal will not be hot.
Then we start chopping our other ingredients in turn. I can tell you this as a secret here; you need to set a good ratio both for the taste of the vegetables to stay inside and for easy cooking. We realized that cutting an average of one centimeter thick is a good ratio for this. You cut the vegetables one by one.
If you have a steamer, remember to put the hardest and most difficult to cook vegetables on the bottom. Otherwise some of your vegetables will cook and some will not. We don't want that. Raw vegetables are of course healthy and are used in many recipes, but that is not what we are trying to do right now. We want warm cooked vegetables with yogurt.
Steam for a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 minutes. Try to understand the cooking rate of this by the celery stalk. I steamed it for 13 minutes.
After your vegetables are well cooked, you carefully take them one by one and place them on your plate. We chose to place them as you can see in the pictures below. But I think it will look better on long boat plates. Presentation is also very important.
As you can see, the more you put them together, the more colorful the plate becomes. So, as I mentioned above, it was a bit wrong to put so much on a round plate. Considering that it's for two people, there could have been less food. Serving the vegetables on a long plate will make them look more beautiful.
The vegetables in this plate are enough for 2 people. If you are going to make pasta with it like us, this plate of vegetables is enough for 2 people. If you are going to eat it as a vegetable dish alone, then it will definitely feed 1 person. I must say that we, two men, could not finish one plate. Of course, the pasta has an effect on this. Especially if you plan to mix it with pasta, make sure you chop it smaller. Thus, it will be pasta with vegetables.
But today we preferred to make and eat them separately, so that we could taste the vegetables themselves in a better way.
TL;DR
- Thoroughly wash and chop the vegetables of your choice.
- Boil the most difficult to cook thick vegetables, such as potatoes, separately.
- If you have a steamer, place the hard-to-cook vegetables on the bottom.
- Cook the vegetables you prefer for a minimum of 10-15 minutes.
- Chop garlic into yogurt and mix.
- Finally, pour a spoonful of garlic yogurt over these vegetables.
- Bon appetit!
Thank you very much for reading the recipe. I had a lot of fun while making it and it was very nice to taste the vegetables separately and eat the garlic yogurt when I felt like it. I hope you like it too.
