Today I made “sautéed green and yellow vegetables” as a garnish of the main dish “pasta with lemon flavor”. Since the sauteed vegetables were prepared as a garnish, I made two servings, but it is so tasty that it can also be a main dish.
I used cinnamon powder for a flavor. I think it will still be delicious even if you don’t use cinnamon, but the cinnamon powder will add depth to the taste, so I recommend that you use it if possible.
Even if you are not good at the green and yellow vegetables, the vegetables are modestly soft by being cooked in a frying pan and they are coated with butter and cinnamon flavor, so you can clean your plate.
I used red pepper as one of the ingredients. If you would use yellow bell pepper, it will look more vivid, so please try it at home party when you invite guests.
The dish is delicious as a snack for wine and other liquors as well.
One Point Advice
- This recipe is for two people. This is enough for the garnish of the main dish.
- If you use this dish as a main dish, please double the amount of the recipe (i.e.: eat 4 servings by 2 people). French cuisine uses a lot of butter, but you can reduce the amount of butter and add salad oil or olive oil, and the taste is still good.
- In that case, fry the ingredients only with salad oil or olive oil first, and finish with the butter as a special touch of flavor for better taste.
