Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 30 min.

Prepare 400 g carrot and 400 g turnips. Cut into small dice about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) across.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 15 min.

Cut 300 g green beans into 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) chunks.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 10 min.

If you are using fresh peas, shell them to give 300 g peas, otherwise, use this weight of frozen peas.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil (1 tablespoon of coarse salt per liter of water). Tip in the diced carrots.

Leave to cook until tender.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

Remove the carrots with skimmer or araignée (spider) and drain in a strainer or colander.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 15 min.

Cook and drain the other vegetables in turn the same way: turnips, green beans and peas.

Note: do not throw the cooking water away, as this is now a very good vegetable stock.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

It is important to drain the vegetables throroughly. I advise you to give them a whirl, each in turn, in a salad spinner...

Stage 8

... then leave them to wait on a tea towel or on absorbant paper.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 3 min.

Finish your macédoine by mixing all the vegetables together with 100 g mayonnaise.

Remarks

A macédoine (without mayonnaise) can also be use as a garnish or stuffing, in a fish or papillote, for example.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

If you put an aluminum container, containing food to be cooked or reheated, in your oven directly on the shelf, the shiny base will reflect a large part of the oven heat (like a mirror). This means that the food will take much longer to cook or heat through than usual.
