Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups mixed blanched and refreshed vegetables, such as broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, carrot rounds, green beans, or radish quarters, procedure follows
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
  • In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
  • Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
  • Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.

Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.

CARROT-CAULIFLOWER MEDLEY



CARROT-CAULIFLOWER MEDLEY image

Categories     Vegetable     Side

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 medium carrots, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups small cauliflowerets (about 1/2 pound)
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Place the carrots, cauliflower, butter, salt and nutmeg in a 1 quart microwaveable casserole dish. Cover tightly. (Can be made ahead to this point and chilled for up to 1 day.) Microwave on high for 4 minutes; stir. Cover and microwave until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes longer. Let stand covered 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant vegetables: Look for carrots and cauliflower that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Fresh vegetables will have a crisp texture and a sweet, earthy flavor.
  • Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they're too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roasting. This will result in soggy, bland vegetables.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. The ideal roasting temperature for vegetables is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Don't be afraid to use salt, pepper, and other spices to flavor the vegetables. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter to help them brown.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: The vegetables should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, but they should still have a bit of a bite to them.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrot and cauliflower is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Whether you're looking for a healthy side dish or a flavorful addition to your next meal, roasted carrot and cauliflower is a great option.
