Directions

  1. Wash the cauliflower and chop it into small florets. Peel the potatoes and dice them. ≈ 8 min

  3. Peel and chop the onions. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into quarters. ≈ 8 min
  4. Heat a little oil in a wok or large frying pan and sauté the onions and mushrooms. Add the bell pepper, which has been washed and chopped.
