As I couldn't find champagne vinegar, I simply used white rice vinegar. Veggies I used: white and red potatoes, diced jams, small brussels sprouts, just one red beet (so as not to turn everything red), a variety of mushrooms, shallots, and (unsteamed) one red/green bell pepper. After the marination step, I drained off excess oil and vinegar in order to keep my dietary fat intake down (reserving this for future uses because the seasonings are yummy!) The fennel and the hot pepper flakes are just right!Reply

What a great, easy veggie dish! I used blue, red and yellow potatoes, turnips, carrots, broccoli, cauliflour, zucchini and mushrooms. (The mushrooms, I didn't cook, I just threw them in while the other vegetables were marinating -yummy!) Next time, I will cut back on the salt. My DH loved these vegetables. Thanks for posting!Reply
