Recipe Tips:
Other more exotic veggie possibilities for this recipe include jicama, jeruselum artichokes, or kohlrabi. They have a sweet crispy disposition which goes well with other veggies.
If you happen to have a pressure cooker with a steamer insert, the veggies will cook on high in 3 minutes, with quick pressure release.
