Sauteing Vegetables

Hello welcome back we are at our next step and that is the actual sauteing of the vegetables so what you want to do is turn your pan on, get it really extremely hot. You want to make sure that the pan is hot enough to where the food actually don't want to stick to it because it is running from the pan it get scared of the pan. So you want it to get that nice and hot and then your going to take your olive oil, I use a olive oil canola blend and it is very nice, very light. The canola has enough in it, it is a non trans fat oil so it is very nice and I usually add about a tablespoon and you just want to drizzle that in the pan. Make sure that the pan gets nice and coated so you want to coat the pan. Alright and once you got the pan coated you are going to want to take your veg and display we got there for you and you are going to want to throw them in the pan. You see you can already hear them as soon as you go in that is the sound that you want so as soon as you go in they are nice and ready. You are going to cook the veg just like that and once that is nice and coated and you would turn your heat down just a little bit and you would throw in your garlic. Okay and that is just a pinch of garlic and you are going to want to coat that again make sure that garlic gets there nice and cooked. Alright and once you get that nice and coated then you can add your onion and I like to take a little hand full of it and this is red onion just sliced up nice and easy. Red onions add a lot of flavor it is the sweeter of the onions and you are just going to want to take it go like that and you would add some salt and pepper. It always a good feature to add and a little bit of salt, some pepper and last but not least thyme again dry thyme. It is a wonderful ingredient to the vegetables it adds a great flavor and I give it a pinch in half. Give it a little shift and don't be mistaken a lot of people like to throw the pan up it is a back and forth method that is all it is. The pan is rounded it will do all the work for you so don't be afraid to toss your food around. The worst that can happen is you get a piece on the floor, you pick it up and you toss it in the trash. The last step for that since it is nice and coated, nice and looking very good, smelling um you can smell that thyme and that garlic it is a wonder flavor you want to turn it off. You are going to take and just add a little bit of butter just enough to where it adds just a little bit in there and then you'll want to take and just go like that with it. That way you are adding a little bit of butter for flavor and now you are ready to go. The next step is look how easy this is and you are ready to enjoy.
