❓ Quick Cooking Q&A

How do I know when the vegetables are done?

They should be easily pierced with a fork but not mushy

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Fresh vegetables work best for this recipe, but frozen can be used with longer cooking time

Why isn't my food crispy?

This is a tender vegetable dish, not meant to be crispy. For crispiness, use less liquid

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding

What if I don't have fresh herbs?

Dried herbs can be substituted using 1/3 of the amount called for fresh
