To add color to an otherwise brown
and boring meal, I blanched some
of the vegetables in boiling water
to make their color pop before
adding them to the finished dish.
I don’t use my slow cooker very often, but I decided to try it out on a
simple beef stew that I could photograph for this book. To add color
to the dish, I used brightly colored vegetables and placed them in the
bowl, and I added some pasta next to the stew to bring it all together.
