The best homemade vegetable stew

This is the best homemade vegetable stew You know why? Because I have blanched each vegetable just the right amount of time so that they are just right, al dente and with an impressive color.

Not only is it beautiful to look at, but we also preserve all its nutritional properties by blanching it and not overcooking it, thus preventing its vitamins from being diluted in the cooking water.

*Ingredient**is: ( 4 servings)*

100 gr of green beans
1 spring onion
3 artichokes
2 cloves garlic
200 gr of romanescu
100 gr of peas
1 large potato
2 carrots
100 gr of mushrooms
50 ml vegetable or chicken broth
1 tablespoon flour
100 gr of ham cubes
2 eggs
Extra virgin olive oil (Aove)
Fresh parsley

Recipe elaboration step by step:

The first thing we have to do is to wash all the vegetables well.
Then we must cut all of them into small pieces of similar size. The green beans in rhombuses, the romanescu in saplings, the carrots and potato in squares and the mushrooms in quarters.
Remove all the leaves from the artichokes until only the tender heart is left. Cut them in half and leave them in water with lemon so that they do not oxidize or darken.
In a small bowl put water to boil with a little salt and cook the potato for 13-15 minutes, until it is soft when pierced with a knife (the time depends on the size of the pieces).
In another saucepan boil the eggs for 12 minutes.
Peel garlic and chop finely and dice the onion. Put a little Aove in a frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and the drained artichokes, with a little salt and poach for ten minutes over medium low heat without burning.
In the meantime, prepare a bowl with plenty of water and ice and bring a pot with plenty of water to boil with a teaspoon of salt.
First we blanch the carrots and the romanescu for 4 minutes. After this time we remove it with a skimmer and put it in the bowl with ice. This stops the cooking of the vegetables when they cool down and also preserves their color.
Then introduce the green beans and do the same for 2 minutes.
Finally, repeat the operation with the peas and mushrooms for one minute. Make sure the water in the bowl of ice is always cold, adding ice in the process if necessary.
When the onion is poached, add the spoonful of flour, stir and cook for 3 minutes so that it is well integrated and toasted. Then add the broth, turn up the heat and stir for 2 minutes so that everything is well integrated.
Then add the potato and all the vegetables well strained, a little salt and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. In the last minute add the ham cubes and stir.
Put everything in a bowl, with the chopped hard-boiled eggs on top, some fresh chopped parsley and a drizzle of Aove.

It is ready the best homemade vegetable stew, Although it is more laborious, it is well worth it.
