Sauteed Vegetable Medley image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 2 quarts, about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 large red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 ears of corn, kernels and milk scraped from cobs (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups cooked pinto beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups cooked navy or cannellini beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups cooked black beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, saute the bacon until very crispy and all of the fat is rendered, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain. Set aside. Remove all but 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings from the pan and save for another use. To the hot bacon drippings add the onion and cook until lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring.

Add the beans, remaining teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a brisk simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost completely reduced, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the green onions, stir to combine, then cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to marry. Reheat slowly, if necessary, before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the corn, tomatoes, and basil, the better your medley will taste. Look for corn that is plump and has bright green husks, tomatoes that are ripe and red, and basil that is fragrant and has no signs of wilting.
  • Use a variety of corn: For a more complex flavor, try using a combination of different types of corn, such as sweet corn, white corn, and popcorn.
  • Cook the corn properly: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. To avoid this, cook the corn just until it is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients: Over-mixing will result in a mushy medley. Instead, gently toss the ingredients together until they are combined.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Fresh Corn Medley is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a side dish, a main course, or a salad, this medley is sure to please everyone at your table.
