Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 long sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 long sprigs fresh oregano
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into ribbons
- 8 string beans
- 4 asparagus, ends snapped
- 1 medium yellow squash, cut into quarters lengthwise

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the thyme and oregano sprigs, along with the garlic, wine, chicken stock, and lemon juice and zest. Allow to boil down, about 5 minutes.
- While the broth is cooking, layer 2 zucchini ribbons vertically. Add 2 string beans, 1 squash quarter and 1 asparagus horizontally. Roll the zucchini ribbon up to create a bundle. Do this for the remaining ingredients. Add each bundle gently to the pan with the broth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, spooning the broth over each bundle.

Wonderful way to prepare and present at a dinner party. Delicious and nicely cooked but not mushy at suggested cooking time. I made one change, based on other reviewers concerning strong lemon taste…I used only the zest of one lemon in the poaching liquid. For my taste, that was enough, just a hint of lemon with other flavors coming through. I thought the veggies would be bland as presented with no sauce or butter, wrong! The poaching liquid combined with the individual vegetable flavor was just perfect.
Loved it, great for spring veggies.
I love this recipe, except for the added acidity of the lemon juice. My family thought the zucchini was pickles! :-/
I will leave the juice out next time, and just add the zest.
Not the easy “anniversary” recipe it claims to be. But, the presentation is lovely. When I get the ratios right, it’ll make for a nice vegetable dish for parties.
