Sauteed Baby Vegetables

Most vegetables are at their best when they are young. Baby vegetables have the most intense flavor. You can use any combination of vegetables as long as they are fresh and provide a variety of color. Cooking time will vary with size, but cooking them quickly will keep the flavor intact and most of the vitamins will be retained.
