Water-Free Steamed Veggies

That's right, you read it correctly! No more soggy veggies from too much water while attempting to steam them!

In a large, deep skillet layer 2 onions sliced on the bottom. On top of the onions place your veggies-to-be-steamed and place a lid on top. You don't want to rush this, so keep the heat on low... you're risking it at medium.

Time is up to you. It's trial and error. I like my green beans lightly steamed, crunchy if you will... but I like my broccoli on the softer side.

Through this, the onions lose their offensiveness, and their moisture steam the vegetables above. My favorites to do this with are fresh green beans and broccoli (not at the same time).

Happy steaming!
