Simple Spring Veggies

This one might be a "no-brainer" for all of you, but this method just dawned on me on Easter Sunday. Divine intervention? I'm guessing no, but it is easy and delicious.

Steamed Spring Veggies with Lemon and Herbs
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 bunch asparagus, rinsed and bottoms trimmed
1 c. broccoli florets, rinsed
1 c. sugar snap peas, rinsed and trimmed
1/4 lemon, juiced and zested a bit
1/2 t. dried (or 1.5 t fresh, rinsed and minced) herbs that you like 1 t. olive oil S&P

Method:

• Throw all ingredients into a microwave safe dish (preferably pyrex or glass) and cover tightly
• Microwave on high for 90 seconds, re-arrange veggies to get even cooking. Nuke in 45 second increments until tender crisp. Serve immediately or chill and add to green or pasta salads.

You can also do this in a traditional stove top steamer, just throw everything but the veggies in a pot and bring to a simmer. Add steamer basket and veggies, cover tightly and steam until tender crisp.
