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.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. 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.

Categories     Corn

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large sweet red peppers, chopped
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8-1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • Add the red peppers, onions, and garlic, and saute for 4-6 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook for another minute or two.

Tips for a Perfect Corn and Rice Medley:

  • Choose the right type of corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but frozen corn kernels or canned corn can also be used.
  • Cook the rice properly. Be sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch. Use a ratio of 1 cup rice to 2 cups water for perfect results.
  • Add vegetables and seasonings. For a more flavorful medley, add vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and carrots. Season the dish with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcook the corn. Corn should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the corn mushy.
  • Serve immediately. Corn and rice medley is best served hot or warm. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Corn and rice medley is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and flavors, corn and rice medley is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
