Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ounces pearl onions, peeled
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 ounces round baby orange and yellow carrots, thinly sliced
1 small bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
4 ounces baby new potatoes
9 ounces assorted baby summer squashes, cut in half
1 ounce young sugar snap peas, stem ends trimmed
1 ounce fresh or frozen lima beans, shelled

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic; cook until golden. Add the white wine; cook until most of it has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, stock, and 3/4 cup water; simmer 5 minutes. Add the potatoes; simmer 7 minutes. Add the squash; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and lima beans, and cook 2 minutes.

    Step 2

    Remove the skillet from heat; remove and discard the herb sprigs. Divide the vegetables and broth among 4 shallow bowls, and serve.
