Vegetable Medley
- 12 ounces green beans (about 4 Cups, cleaned and chopped)
- 12 ounces yellow beans (about 4 Cups, cleaned and chopped)
- 1 lb carrots, regular-sized or 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 (6 ounce) bag white pearl onions (said small bag, did not give ounces)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons penzeys dill weed
- 12 teaspoon salt
- Wash the beans and cut the stem end off, and chop into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel and cut the carrots-baby carrots can be left whole, regular ones cut into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Thick carrots should be halved before cutting, or the pieces will be difficult to eat and take longer to cook.
- Cut the stem end off the pearl onions and remove the peel (plunging them in hot water helps), leaving the tip if possible.
- These steps can be done a day ahead of time and the vegetables placed in a zip top bag in the fridge.
- To cook:
- Bring a pot of water (at least 2 quarts) to a rolling boil.
- Add the carrots and yellow beans, cook 3 minutes, and then add the green beans and pearl onions and cook another 5 minutes.
- These are approximate cooking times, thick carrots may need longer; if all the beans are thin the cooking time may be a bit shorter.
- All the vegetables should be tender but still a bit crisp.
- Drain and rinse the vegetables to stop the cooking, but leave them warm.
- While the vegetables are boiling, melt the butter in a small sauce pan and simmer on low with the Penzeys Dill Weed.
- Once the vegetables have been drained and rinsed, toss with the dill weed butter, add salt to taste, and place in a serving bowl.
- Cover the bowl with foil and place in a warm place until ready to serve.
