Notes
• Choose similarly sized baby potatoes. Halve larger ones so the pieces cook at a similar rate.
• Slice the carrots evenly and check both potatoes and carrots for tenderness before finishing.
• Keep the water below the steamer basket and the lid on between additions. Check that the pot does not boil dry.
• Add peas near the end of cooking to avoid overcooking them. Frozen peas may briefly slow the steaming, so check that they are heated through.
• Add the fresh dill after steaming to preserve its fresh flavor. Toss gently so the tender potatoes remain intact.
• Olive oil gives a dairy-free version; butter gives a richer finish. Add the optional lemon juice gradually and taste before adding more.
