Braised Summer Vegetables with a Green Herb Sauce
This sophisticated dish of braised summer vegetables--beans, tomatoes, bell pepper, carrots and more--drizzled with a pestolike sauce made from garden-fresh herbs was inspired by a stroll through the farmers' market. Feel free to mix up the produce based on what you have on hand, and make extra sauce since it freezes well and is perfect for tossing with pasta or swirling into soups. If they're available, try adding fresh fava beans or other shell beans to bump up the protein in this quintessential summer dish.
