Steaming vegetables is a great way to cook them so they retain their bright colors and some crispness. You can steam your vegetables by placing water in the bottom of a saucepan, bring it to a boil and then place a steam pan or steam basket over the water. My Steamed Asparagus & Vegetable Medley dish is a tasty vegetable dish with asparagus, yellow bell peppers and mushrooms. Asparagus is a perennial flowering plant species that’s in the lily family. Asparagus is a very nutritious fibrous vegetable containing antioxidants and high levels of Vitamins A, C, D, E and K, folate and Potassium. Bell peppers and mushrooms are also high in nutrients and add lots of color and flavor to this dish. Happy Cooking!
