Instructions
- *If you cannot find the small (pickling size) or pearl onions, use a large onion, cut into chunks, and separate the layers so you have vaguely square separate bits.
- Simmer everything for the MARINADE together, EXCEPT the mustard and olive oil, for about 10 minutes.
- Add the prepared vegetables EXCEPT the artichokes. Start with the peppers and give them a head start, then add the rest. Simmer until just slightly softened and al dente -- not fully cooked. Pull off heat.
- Quarter the artichokes and add: heat only until artichokes are heated through.
- Take vegetables out with a slotted spoon and put into a serving dish.
- Decide how much of the marinade/cooking liquid you want to use over the vegetables, keepin in mind that the olive oil is still to be added.
- Pour as much of the marinade as you want into a bowl, and whisk in the mustard and olive oil. Taste for seasoning: it might need more sugar or salt.
- Pour this over the vegetables, cool, cover, and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight.
