Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

Roasted Winter Vegetables
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup/150 g Arborio rice
1/4 cup/60 ml dry white wine
2 to 2 1/4 cups/480 to 540 ml hot water, homemade or packaged organic chicken broth, or a mix
3/4 tsp kosher salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup/30 g freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6. Roast the vegetables on a single baking sheet/tray on the top rack of the oven {the risotto will bake on the bottom rack}.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Stir in the wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, 1 minute more. Stir in 2 cups/480 ml of the hot water, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake on the bottom rack during the last 25 minutes of roasting time for the vegetables. After 25 minutes, check the risotto. Most of the liquid should be absorbed and the rice just cooked.
  • Remove the risotto from the oven and stir in another 1/2 cup/120 ml hot cups of water, and the butter and cheese.
  • Serve topped with roasted vegetables with thin shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

GREEK BAKED VEGETABLES (BRIAM)



Greek Baked Vegetables (Briam) image

A Greek version of ratatouille.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium eggplant
Salt
2 medium red onions
4 large garlic cloves
1 1/2 pounds potatoes, scrubbed, peeled if desired
1 1/2 pounds zucchini
2 large bell peppers, seeded
1/3 to 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, to taste
2 pounds tomatoes, grated or peeled, seeded and chopped, or a 28-ounce can, drained (reserve liquid)
Black pepper
1/2 to 1 pound small okra, ends trimmed, optional
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped marjoram or oregano, or 2 teaspoons dried

Steps:

  • If the eggplant is thin and long, slice it about 1/4-inch thick. If it's fat, halve it lengthwise, then slice in 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. Sprinkle with salt and put on paper towels for 30 minutes. Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic. Cut the potatoes, zucchini and peppers into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Squeeze excess water from eggplant and pat dry.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Stir often, until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and stir in the garlic. Cook for another minute or two, until fragrant.
  • Lightly oil a deep earthenware baking dish or a heavy Dutch oven. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and season liberally with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining olive oil. Spread a thin layer of tomatoes in the baking dish or Dutch oven and top with one-third of the onions and garlic. Top with half the potato slices. Season with salt and pepper. Layer half the zucchini slices over the potatoes and season, then layer on half the eggplant, half the peppers and half the okra, if using. Sprinkle on half the parsley, about a third of the marjoram or oregano and some pepper. Layer another third of the onions over the vegetables and top with half of the remaining tomatoes. Sprinkle with half the remaining marjoram or oregano. Repeat the layers with the remaining vegetables, ending with a layer of onions topped with the remaining tomatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs. Pour the juice from the tomatoes over the mixture.
  • Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Press the vegetables down into the juice and bake another 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are thoroughly tender. Cool until warm before serving, or refrigerate overnight and reheat. If there is too much liquid, strain in a colander set over a bowl, reduce the juices over medium-high heat (place a flame tamer over the burner if you're using the earthenware dish) and pour over the vegetables.

1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

In another bowl toss together the carrots, the squash, and the zucchini, add about 1/4 cup of the liquid from the onion mixture, and toss the mixture well. Spread the onion mixture in the bottom of a greased glass baking dish, 15 by 10 by 2 inches. On a work surface arrange the flounder fillet halves, skinned sides up, beginning with the narrow end roll up each fillet half jelly-roll fashion, and secure each roll with a wooden pick. Arrange the fish rolls, seam sides down and not touching each other, on the onion mixture, put an oiled sheet of parchment or wax paper directly on them, and bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 8 minutes. Spread the vegetable mixture around the rolls and bake the mixture, the fish covered directly with the parchment, for 7 to 12 minutes more, or until the fish just flakes. Transfer the vegetables to a heated platter, arrange the fish rolls on top of them, and spoon the juices over the top.

BAKED RICOTTA WITH SPRING VEGETABLES



Baked Ricotta With Spring Vegetables image

Here's a multipurpose dish that is perfect for spring, but can also highlight other seasons. It comes from Dan Kluger at Loring Place in Greenwich Village. He made it in winter, studded with squash and mushrooms. For spring, he scattered pickled ramps, favas and spring onions on top. But he said that other seasonal vegetables like artichokes, peas, morel mushrooms and asparagus could be used. As summer rolls in, there will be a different cast of characters to consider, like zucchini, cherry tomatoes and peppers. The dish works as a first course for four or a lunch dish for two, and could even replace salad and cheeses at a more elaborate dinner.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     lunch, snack, dips and spreads, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium-thick asparagus, ends snapped, slant-cut in 1-inch pieces
1 ounce fresh mushrooms, preferably morels or oyster mushrooms, separated in pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/2 ounce grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/3 cup)
3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella
1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
1 large egg plus 1 yolk
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons pesto
4 freshly cooked, canned or frozen baby artichoke hearts, quartered
2 scallions, trimmed and minced
1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves, in chiffonade
4 slices sourdough or multigrain bread
1 clove garlic

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, add the asparagus and blanch 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Toss mushrooms with 2 teaspoons of the oil and sear in a small skillet over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet with 1 teaspoon oil. Place ricotta in a bowl. Fold in the Parmesan, mozzarella, oregano, egg and egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in the cast-iron skillet. Gently swirl in the pesto, leaving streaks of it.
  • Heat a broiler. Place the cast-iron skillet on a burner turned to low and let cook about 10 minutes, until heated through and showing signs of browning along the edges. Remove from heat. Scatter the asparagus, mushrooms and artichokes on top. Sprinkle with scallions and mint. Place under the broiler close to the source of heat until it starts to become lightly dappled, about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile grill or toast the bread. Brush with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and rub with garlic. Serve the cheese and vegetables directly from the skillet, with grilled bread alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to roasting. Some, like broccoli and carrots, hold their shape well and caramelize nicely. Others, like zucchini and tomatoes, are more delicate and can easily overcook. Choose a variety of vegetables that will complement each other in terms of texture and flavor.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have vegetables of different sizes, cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
  • Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and caramelize. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or any other high-heat oil. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. The ideal roasting temperature is between 400 and 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast the vegetables for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
  • Use a sheet pan: This will allow the vegetables to spread out in a single layer, which will help them cook evenly. If you don't have a sheet pan, you can use a roasting pan or a large baking dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast. Make sure there is enough space between the vegetables so that they can circulate air and cook evenly.
  • Roast the vegetables in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of vegetables to roast, you may need to roast them in batches. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.

Conclusion:

Roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a roasted vegetable dish that is both flavorful and nutritious.
