This frozen mix is a vibrant shortcut to a well-rounded veggie side, featuring a bright blend of peas, kohlrabi, green and yellow beans, sugar snap peas, and yellow carrots.

It is a simple way to add variety to a weeknight meal without any of the peeling or chopping.

Preparation Instructions

For the best texture, sauté the vegetables in a skillet with a little oil or water over medium-high heat for about five to seven minutes. Alternatively, place them in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and heat for four to six minutes, making sure to stir them halfway through so they cook evenly.

A savory seasoning of onion, garlic, and herbs provides a balanced depth, while the lemon peel adds a subtle, refreshing finish. The combination of sweet carrots and earthy beans offers a diverse flavor profile that feels fresh and balanced.

Serving Ideas

• Anchor a pasta salad: Toss the warmed vegetables with cooked fusilli, a splash of olive oil, and a generous dusting of Parmigiano Reggiano.
