Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), diced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 eggplant, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 200 g mushrooms, sliced
- 150 g broccoli, in florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and cut all ingredients into even pieces, ensuring they are not too small to avoid burning while frying. This step takes about 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to shimmer but not smoke, which takes about 1-2 minutes.
- Sauté onions and garlic: Add the diced onion and chopped garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions are translucent and aromatic.
- Add bell peppers and zucchini: Add the diced bell peppers and zucchini to the pan. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to soften and develop color.
- Add eggplant and mushrooms: Add the diced eggplant and mushrooms. Sauté everything together for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and have a nice golden color.
- Add broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Cook everything together for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.
- Add spices: Sprinkle the paprika powder and oregano over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and stir well to distribute the spices evenly. This step should take about 2 minutes.
- Finish cooking: Let the vegetables simmer for another 2-3 minutes until they reach the desired consistency. They should be crisp but tender. Avoid overcooking as it will make the vegetables mushy.
- Taste: Taste the stir-fry and adjust the spices to your liking. You can add more salt or pepper if needed.
- Serve: Remove the pan from the heat and serve the dish fresh. It works great as a main dish or as a side to other meals.
