Preparation -- 10 minutes

Peel the red onion and garlic cloves. Slice the red onion in half and then in thin rings. Finely chop the garlic cloves and check the mushrooms for any dirt. You can use a mushroom brush or just a paper kitchen towel to get rid of the dirt.

Slice the mushrooms into quarters and the broccoli into smaller florets. Remove the red bell peppers seeds and cut the bell pepper into pieces, not too small.

Fill the pan with water, add some salt or a cube of vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
