Rainbow Pepper Saute
Did you know that colour is an excellent clue to nutrient content? Most yellow, orange and red vegetables are high in beta-carotene. By sauteing these vegetables quickly in a smidge of fat and a splash of tomato juice, most of the nutrients, including vitamin C and beta-carotene, are retained.
