Steaming is a simple, gentle technique and a very good way of cooking vegetables that you want to serve plainly. Pour a liquid (water, stock, broth) into the lower compartment of the steamer. Bring to the boil and place vegetables in the steamer. Cover and cook until the vegetables are just tender.
