Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
2 baby eggplants or 1 Japanese eggplant (about 6 ounces total), cut in half lengthwise and cut across into 1/2-inch thick half-moons
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
4 medium shallots, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
1 red, yellow, or green bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1/2-inch strips
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fold four 18-inch lengths of parchment paper in half, cut into a half-heart shape, and open. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplants, tomatoes, shallots, bell pepper, garlic, thyme, and parsley. Divide the vegetable mixture among the lengths of parchment, arranging on one half of each parchment heart near the crease. Drizzle the oil over the vegetables, and add salt and pepper. Fold the other half of the parchment over the ingredients. Make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at the top of the heart. Two inches from the end, twist parchment twice, gently but firmly, to seal. Repeat.

SPRING VEGETABLE SAUTE



Spring Vegetable Saute image

Serve this colorful vegetable side dish with our Herb-Crsuted Leg of Lamb.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 lemons, juiced, lemon halves reserved
6 baby artichokes (12 ounces)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon olive oil
16 white pearl onions
24 baby carrots, stems trimmed to 3/4 inch
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
12 scallions, white and light-green parts only, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
3 ounces haricots verts or thin green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a medium bowl with water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; set aside. With a knife, remove all but 1/2 inch stem from artichokes. Cut off sharp tips; remove tough outer leaves, trimming down to yellow inner leaves. Quarter artichokes lengthwise. If they have tough purple chokes, remove with a spoon. Rub artichoke pieces with lemon halves, and place them in lemon water as you work.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 3 1/2 quarts water, 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, oregano, garlic, peppercorns, and olive oil. Bring to a boil, and add artichoke quarters. Cook 8 minutes, until tender. Let artichokes cool in the cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, fill a medium bowl with ice water; set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. To peel the pearl onions, boil for 1 minute, and remove with a slotted spoon. When cool enough to handle, peel, leaving root and stem ends intact. Set aside.
  • Return water to a boil. Add carrots and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook 6 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to bowl of ice water to stop cooking. When carrots have cooled, remove from water with a slotted spoon and set aside. When water has resumed boiling, separately repeat blanching and cooling process with remaining vegetables. Blanch haricots verts and scallions 30 seconds each and peeled pearl onions for 3 minutes.
  • Just before serving, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, and saute, stirring, until vegetables are hot and coated with butter. Add stock, parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper; toss and serve.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 cup)
1 celery stalk, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (from 1 small clove)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

SAUTEED MIXED VEGETABLES



Sauteed Mixed Vegetables image

Try this sauteed vegetable recipe from chef Pierre Schaedelin of Benoit restaurant with delicious Steak Aux Poivres for a wonderfully romantic dinner for two.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 6

Coarse salt
4 ounces haricots verts, trimmed
2 medium carrots, peeled and trimmed
2 medium parsnips, peeled and trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat; meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Generously salt boiling water and add haricots verts. Cook for 3 minutes and drain; immediately transfer haricots verts to ice-water bath until cool. Drain and set aside.
  • Cut carrots and parsnips lengthwise into quarters. Trim tough center from each quarter and cut in half crosswise. Cut each piece in half again on the bias to create 1-inch pieces (you may need to cut parsnips again to create a 1-inch piece, depending on size).
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add carrots and parsnips in a single layer in skillet; season with salt. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and add haricots verts and parsley; season with salt. Cook, stirring, until haricots verts are heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables are more flavorful and nutritious than frozen or canned vegetables.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Use a high heat. A high heat will help the vegetables brown and caramelize.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add seasonings to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately. Sautéed vegetables are best served immediately.
