DIRECTIONS
1. For the vegetable medley: Scald each type of vegetable separately for 1 minute in boiling water with a 4% salt content. As you finish scalding the vegetables, set them aside on a tray to cool at room temperature. Peel the tomatoes.
2. For the vinaigrette: Drizzle a bit of olive oil into a wide cooking pot and sauté the finely chopped shallots. Add the remaining ingredients except the scalded vegetables and let the mixture come to a boil.
3. Once the vinaigrette is boiling, add the scalded vegetables to the pot, let everything return to a boil and promptly remove the pot from the heat. The vegetable and vinaigrette mixture needs to cool quickly; to speed up the cooling process, transfer the mixture to a food-safe container and apply a sort of reverse bain-marie, using ice water. Keep the dish in the fridge and serve as you please.
