To Boil Vegetables Green

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare and wash the vegetables.

  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  3. Add the vegetables and keep them uncovered, boiling rapidly until done.

  4. If the water is very hard, add ½ teaspoon of carbonate of soda for every two quarts of water to improve color, but use sparingly.
