This is a visually beautiful vegetable dish. Made exactly as to recipe, but substituted sugar snap peas for the snow peas. I think next time I will sub olive oil for the butter and perhaps blanch the veggies and finish them by roasting in oven for even more flavor. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I will make it again.

The cooking times for these veggies is spot on and adding as much garlic as desired keeps the flavor to a perfect amount. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue

These were so so good. I loved the flavor of them and my kids ate them up. I wasn't paying attention to my time and did over steam the brocolli a bit but it still tasted wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing. Prepared for PAC Fall/2008.

A lovely simple side to go with our steak dinner, I used butter beans instead of snap peas but otherwise made as directed, defintely need a kitchen timer for this one.
