I love Northern Italian food. It's just filled with good vegetables and good flavor. I love to make this in the summer when these vegetables are in season. The recipe says you can shake a little Parmesan over top, I prefer to use shredded fresh Parmesan. I serve this with a roasted whole chicken, Cornish hen, or pheasant. Serve with your favorite wine and you're good to go!

Ingredients

  • 20 small red new potatoes, whole, skins left on
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 - zucchini, rinsed, and sliced about 1/4 inch thick, skins left on
  • 2 cups whole small sized mushrooms
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

How To Make northern italian vegetable medley

  • Step 1
    In a steamer, place the sliced carrots, the whole new potatoes, and broccoli florets. Place a lid on top and allow vegetables to steam until done to your liking. (I don't let them steam too long since I like my vegetables crunchy. Remember, you're going to add them to the skillet and cook them a little further.)
  • Step 2
    In a large skillet, pour the olive oil. Add all the seasonings, and sauté the zucchini and mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    When done, add all the steamed vegetables to the skillet, toss well to coat with the olive oil and seasonings. Heat thoroughly and serve.
  • Step 4
    (Can be served with a couple of shakes of Parmesan cheese on top, if desired)
