Prepare the Vegetables
Begin by chopping all the vegetables as per the required sizes: carrots into diagonals, green beans into 2-inch pieces, baby corn into halves, and mushrooms into quarters. Set the vegetables aside to ensure you have everything ready for cooking. -
-
Steam the Vegetables
Place the carrots, green beans, and baby corn into a pressure cooker. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with 2 tablespoons of water. Pressure cook for just one whistle. After cooking, immediately release the pressure by running cold water over the pressure cooker to cool it down quickly. Open the lid and set the steamed vegetables aside. -
Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter starts to melt, add the button mushrooms and sauté them until they are well cooked and tender. -
Combine the Ingredients
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the steamed vegetables into the pan. Season with salt, pepper, red chili flakes, oregano, and lemon juice. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are well coated with the seasoning. -
Stir-Fry
Increase the heat and stir-fry the mixture for about one minute on high heat to bring all the ingredients together and combine the flavors beautifully. -
Serve
Once everything is well mixed and the flavors have melded together, turn off the heat. Transfer the Steamed Vegetables with Chilli Lime Butter to a serving bowl and serve hot.
