You can cook this frozen vegetable blend directly from the freezer. For best results, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Alternatively, you can steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or microwave them according to package directions. They can also be added directly to simmering soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking.
