Note
Use fresh vegetables for the best texture and flavor, but frozen mixed vegetables are a convenient shortcut. Ensure frozen vegetables are fully thawed before adding to avoid cooling the sauce too much.
For a richer sauce, you can substitute the margarine with unsalted butter. A splash of cream can also be added at the end for extra decadence.
This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious herb sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
