Ingredients
- 400g/14 oz (approx.) vegetables of your choice (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, courgettes, green beans, peas)
- 2 tbsp vegan butter/spread or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice and zest of ½ lemon (optional)
- Handful fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, tarrogan, oregano), stalks removed and finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Steam the vegetables for around 5 minutes, until they are tender but with a bit of crunch (definitely not mushy!).
- While the vegetables are steaming, in a small saucepan melt the butter on a low-medium heat then add the garlic.
- Fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes but don’t let it brown.
- Toss the steamed veg in the garlic butter, salt and pepper. Stir through the lemon juice, zest and fresh herbs (if using).

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?
We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
