- Stir-fries
- Soups
- Casseroles
To prepare, you can cook the frozen vegetables directly from the freezer. They can be steamed, boiled, or sautéed. For steaming, place them in a steamer basket over boiling water until tender-crisp. Boiling involves simmering them in a small amount of water until cooked through. Sautéing them in a pan with a little oil or butter can bring out their natural sweetness. They can also be added directly to simmering soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to heat through and add texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables, this frozen blend has been processed for longer shelf life. The freezing process helps to maintain a texture that is often softer than fresh, especially after cooking. The combination of these specific vegetables offers a balanced flavor profile that works well in many recipes.
