Instructions
Clean, trim and cut your vegetables into evenly sized pieces. Boil a pot of water and quickly blanch the vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Use a spider strainer to remove the vegetables from the water. Add them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Make sure they are not wet when adding them to the pan. Next, heat avocado oil in a large saute pan. Add the strained vegetables, finely diced shallots and thinly sliced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until fragrant. Next, add a knob of butter. Toss until the vegetables are well coated. Season with salt and cracked black pepper. Remove from the pan and enjoy.
