Tips for Perfect Vegetable Dishes
- Layer textures: Add denser veggies (e.g., sweet potato) earlier, and quick-cook greens (e.g., spinach) near the end.
- Season in stages: Salt some of the cooking liquid and adjust at the end to avoid over-salting.
- Use vegetable stock: Boost depth of flavour compared to water.
- Garnish for freshness: Finish with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of olive oil.
