Before you start
Gather the ingredients and the pan or pot before turning on the heat. These steps keep the cooking efficient while still spelling out the key heat settings, doneness cues, and safe handling details.
1. Step 1
Cook the vegetables in the listed fat over medium heat, keeping them in a mostly even layer. Stir every few minutes and continue until they are browned or fork-tender as the recipe describes; add a splash of water and cover briefly if they need help softening.
2. Step 2
Lower the skillet to medium heat, add the listed fat, and cook the onion until glossy and softened. Add garlic last and stir for 30 to 60 seconds, just until fragrant; do not let it brown deeply.
Softened vegetables should look glossy and give way easily when you stir them.
3. Step 3
Cook the vegetables in the listed fat over medium heat, keeping them in a mostly even layer. Stir every few minutes and continue until they are browned or fork-tender as the recipe describes; add a splash of water and cover briefly if they need help softening.
Give the food a little time between stirs so it can brown and build flavor.
4. Step 4
Lower the skillet to medium heat, add the listed fat, and stir the garlic for 30 to 60 seconds, just until fragrant. Do not let it brown deeply or it may taste bitter.
5. Finish and serve
Turn off the heat, rest the food briefly if it is hot or saucy, then taste and add the listed toppings before plating. Handle the pan with dry oven mitts.
