Total time
 
Serve this on a bed of lettuce, generously sprinkled with parsley, or throw in with pasta, being careful to not overcook it and make tough. Or, serve it as it is, with good bread. The left over vegetables are great either cooked gently and used in soups or stews, or just mopped up with bread. There is no need to waste anything.
