Equipment
- two-tiered steamer pan
Ingredients
- 300 g Chantenay carrots scrubbed

Instructions
- Fill the base pan of a two-tier steamer pan with 5cm (2 inches) of water and bring to the boil.
- Place the first steam basket on top of the pan of water and place the carrots in the steamer basket. Place a lid on the pan, turn the heat down to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, add the cauliflower and broccoli to the steam basket with the carrots in and steam for a further 5 minutes.

- Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the steam baskets and place in a warm serving bowl.
- Top with the butter (which should melt into the vegetables) and sprinkle on the parsley before serving.
Notes
Use different vegetables, adjusting the time you add them into the steamer based on their regular cooking time.
