Then, drain vegetables and pour butter mixuture over them. Cook another 3-4 min or until vegetables are glazed, sirring occasionally. Makes 5 servings.
Note: The original recipe I found also added 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel and 1/4 tsp dill weed. I preferred not to add these, so they are not included in the nutritional info.
