FIBER
1 serving (medium) of Vegetable Sauté (150 g) has 98 calories. That works out to 65 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.7 g of carbs, 3.2 g of protein, 3.3 g of fat and 4.8 g of fiber. Its 630 µg of Vitamin A covers 70% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Vegetable Sauté is a simple pan-cooked dish of mixed vegetables, often including zucchini, red and green bell peppers, onion and tomato. It is a flexible home-style preparation rather than a recipe tied to one particular region, and the mix can change with the season or what is on hand.
The vegetables turn tender while keeping some bite; tomato adds juiciness, and the peppers and onion bring gentle sweetness. It works as a side with grains, fish or other mains, or as a light meal with bread. With plenty of fibre and a modest amount of fat, it is an easy way to add vegetables to a meal. Use just enough oil to coat the pan, and add beans or chickpeas if you want it to be more filling.

Vegetable Sauté commonly combines zucchini, red and green bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes. You can add mushrooms, eggplant, or carrots, too; add firmer vegetables earlier so they have time to soften without overcooking the rest.
Cook Vegetable Sauté in a hot, uncrowded pan, and dry the vegetables before adding them. Work in batches if needed, and add juicy tomatoes and salt near the end so the vegetables brown instead of steaming in released liquid.
The best way to cook Vegetable Sauté is in a wide skillet over fairly high heat. Stir occasionally rather than constantly, and add ingredients according to how quickly they cook: onion and peppers first, zucchini next, and tomatoes last.
Black pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic, and a little chili pair well with Vegetable Sauté. Finish it with fresh parsley or basil for a brighter flavor, adding delicate fresh herbs after the pan comes off the heat.
Yes, chickpeas or tofu can make Vegetable Sauté more filling. Add drained chickpeas toward the end to warm through; brown firm tofu separately first, then fold it in so it keeps its shape and does not crowd the vegetables.
Yes, Vegetable Sauté can be made with frozen vegetables. Add them straight to a hot pan without thawing, and cook uncovered so excess moisture can evaporate. The vegetables may turn softer than fresh ones, especially after freezing and reheating.
Vegetable Sauté goes well with rice, couscous, pasta, or crusty bread. For a more substantial meal, serve it alongside grilled fish or chicken, or spoon it over grains and top with a fried egg.
Vegetable Sauté keeps for a few days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it and refrigerate it promptly rather than leaving it out for an extended period, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, you can freeze Vegetable Sauté, although zucchini and tomatoes may become softer when thawed. Cool it first, pack it in a sealed freezer-safe container, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating in a skillet.
No, you usually do not need to peel zucchini for Vegetable Sauté. Its skin softens during cooking and helps the slices hold their shape; just rinse the zucchini under running water and trim off the ends before cutting.
