Seasonal vegetables sautéed in butter with black pepper and a squeeze of lemon - simple and beautiful

Hari says

This can be made with any seasonal vegetables you have knocking around in your fridge and the more colourful the better. This is a lovely fresh and vibrant side dish that goes well with anything. I love it because it looks so fantastic on the plate and you can taste each and every little bit of goodness from the vegetables all folded in with the warming scent of whole cumin seeds and bite of black pepper.
