Ingredients
- 2 carrots, peeled
- 1 small or medium zucchini/courgette
- Approx. 1/2lb or 20 green beans, trimmed
- Approx. 1/2lb or 20 yellow wax beans, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper
Preparation
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add a big pinch of salt.
Meanwhile, cut the vegetables into uniform shape and size, ideally into sticks or batons.
Prepare a large bowl of cold water and set aside.
Drop the carrots into the boiling water. Wait 1 minute, then drop beans in as well. Wait 30seconds, then drop in zucchini. Cook vegetables for 3 more minutes, then drain in a colander. Immediately transfer drained vegetables to bowl of cold water to stop cooking.
In a small saucepan, melt butter on medium-low heat. Once butter is melted, whisk in miso paste until everything is well blended. Keep on very low heat until ready.
Drain vegetables, then toss in miso-butter. Taste, then season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
