In this recipe, I will be using the frozen mixed vegetables. I will be adding potatoes, cut into small cubes (macedoine cut).
Usually the vegetables are cooked a l’Anglaise but I prefer to steam them, it’s easier and faster.

Vegetable Macédoine
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- Salt to taste
- Mayonnaise to taste
- Few leaves of Iceberg lettuce for garnish (optional)
- 1 Roma tomato for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
First, peel the potatoes.
-
Cut them into macedoine cut or dice them small.
-
Place in a steam basket.
-
Gently rinse the frozen mixed vegetables to slightly defrost them.
-
Place the mixed vegetables on top of the potatoes.
-
Season the top vegetables with salt (no worries the salt will penetrate to the potatoes in the bottom of the basket).
-
Place the steam basket over a pot of boiling water on medium heat.
-
Cover the vegetables with a lid and let steam until tender (about 15 minutes or so).
-
Dump the vegetables in a bowl. Let cool at room temperature for few minutes.
-
Place them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until completely cooled.
-
Add about 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise to bind the vegetables together.
-
Serve as is or with lettuce around and more vegetables.
Recipe Notes
- You can serve your Macedoine with boiled eggs on top.
- If you chose to cook the vegetables a l’anglaise, cook them separately in salted water or together in order of firmness. Drain and place in ice cold water to stop the cooking and keep their color.
