Preparation
Step 1
Use any vegetables you have on hand, fresh from the garden or frozen. Adjust quantities to taste. Choose firm tomatoes; soft ones may break down during cooking.
Step 2
Wash potatoes, onions, carrots, and garlic under running water with a brush and peel them. Cut bell peppers in half, remove seeds and core. Trim eggplant tails and separate Brussels sprouts into florets. Rinse all in cold water and pat dry.
Step 3
Chop the vegetables. Cut eggplant, tomatoes, onion, carrot, bell pepper, and potatoes into uniform pieces. Optionally peel tomatoes. Slice corn into thin rounds and crush garlic with a press.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Sauté onion, carrot, and bell pepper over high heat, stirring, for 5-10 minutes.
Step 5
Add eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, and corn. Optionally use cherry tomatoes for extra flavor. Reduce heat to medium and cover; braise until partially cooked, about 10-15 minutes. If needed, add a small amount of water.
Step 6
Add sour cream, garlic, and broccoli. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices. For more sauce, add ½–1 cup water (preferably neutral-flavored filtered or bottled).
Step 7
Mix well and cook under a lid until broccoli and vegetables are fully tender, about 10-20 minutes. Add water if necessary.
Step 8
Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or young green onions on top before serving.
Step 9
Vegetables Braised in Sour Cream in a Skillet are ready! Delicious hot or cold. Enjoy!
