1 Tbsp vegetable oil

coriander sprigs for garnish

To boil vegetables:
– Place vegetables in a saucepan and add sufficient lightly salted cold water to just cover.
– Place a lid on the saucepan and bring to the boil as quickly as possible, reduce heat and simmer gently.
– Cook until tender when tested with a skewer or tip of a knife.
– Add extra boiling water if necessary. Drain and serve.
Note: Always simmer vegetables as vigorous boiling will cause some vegetables to break up.
Boiling times – depending on the size of the vegetable pieces they may take less time:
12-15 minutes for harder vegetables, e.g. carrots, parsnips, pumpkin, turnips, yams
18-20 minutes for starchy vegetables, e.g. kumara, potatoes, swedes
