Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For even cooking, allow the sautéed vegetables to soften gently but avoid overcooking to keep their vibrant color and texture. Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transfer from stovetop to oven without extra dishes. To make cleanup easier, consider lining the skillet with a small amount of olive oil before heating.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Feel free to swap in other seasonal veggies like peas or leeks as you prefer. For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative and either omit the feta or replace it with a dairy-free cheese. Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to your spice preference or omit them altogether.
