Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Vegetables
Wash the purple string beans thoroughly under running water. Chop the beans into small, bite-sized pieces. Chop the broccoli into florets. Slice the big onion. Dice the big tomato. Chop the green chilies and coriander leaves.
Step 2: Sauté Broccoli and Beans
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegan butter (or butter of your choice). Once melted, sprinkle a pinch of oregano into the butter. Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the broccoli. Add the chopped purple string beans to the pan. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the butter and oil, cooking for a few minutes until slightly tender.
Step 3: Season the Vegetables
Season the vegetables with salt, red pepper powder (or black pepper powder), and a pinch of turmeric, all according to your taste. Stir the vegetables thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed and coat all the pieces.
Step 4: Add Remaining Ingredients
Sprinkle vegetable stock cube powder or chips spice (to taste) over the cooking vegetables. Add the sliced onions, chopped green chilies, and chopped coriander leaves to the pan. Finally, add the diced tomatoes.
Step 5: Cook and Serve
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for approximately , or until the vegetables are tender and cooked through. Once cooked, remove from heat. Serve the purple bean and broccoli stir-fry hot with cooked white rice, garnished with cherry tomatoes.
