How to Sauté Vegetables

Nowadays, there are many cooking television shows where chefs toss vegetables in a pan; this procedure is called sautéing, which consists of cooking over high heat, with a lot of movement and little time, so that the food retains its moisture, flavor, texture, nutrients, and color. Below, I share my secret for you to learn how to sauté vegetables.

Step by Step

For this tip, you need:
2
Place a moderate amount of fat in the pan, enough to lubricate the ingredients, and put it on the heat.
3
While it heats up, cut the vegetables into small, even pieces. The order in which you sauté the vegetables will depend on their hardness, so start with the harder vegetables like potatoes.
4
Add the zucchini or mushrooms last.

It is very important to move the vegetables to avoid burning; the movement that chefs make can be replaced by a constantly moving spatula. Most vegetables take about 3 to 5 minutes to sauté.
