Healthy and full of flavour, these veggies are steamed and then drizzled with a delicious dressing. They’re quick, easy and totally tasty!
This recipe is as quick and easy as it is versatile, you can use whatever veggies you have to hand, I just choose the ones that need the least preparation!
The dressing is super easy to throw together and is both healthy and delicious. That little chilli really packs a punch so feel free to give it a miss if you don’t like the heat!
In an effort to be more minimalist, I got rid of my steamer when I got my Thermomix so naturally, I’ve added a Thermomix conversion to this recipe.
These veggies go great with any protein and maybe even some rice to soak up all those delicious juices!
Are you a minimalist? Do you like hot chillis too?
