ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLE MEDLEY



Roasted Winter Vegetable Medley image

This is a sweet mixture of comforting winter vegetables that you can serve on its own as a side dish, or use as the component of a polenta, big bowl, frittata or omelet, or pasta. I roast the squash in one pan and the other vegetables together in another. If you have a small oven, roast the squash first, then the other vegetables. Or you can use two shelves and switch the trays top to bottom halfway through the roasting.

GREEN VEGETABLE MEDLEY



Green Vegetable Medley image

Add any spring vegetables to this dish, but make sure to choose fresh and tender ones that will cook in a flash.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon salt
1 bunch thin asparagus, ends trimmed if tough
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small leek, dark-green leaves trimmed, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 1 cup)
1 bunch spinach, stems trimmed
4 ounces sweet baby peas
Pinch freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a 12-inch skillet with about 1 inch of cold water. Place over high heat; bring to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add asparagus; cover, and simmer until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove asparagus from skillet, and transfer to serving plate. Pour off water from skillet.
  • Return skillet to heat, and melt butter. Add leek, and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add spinach and peas, season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper; cover, and cook until spinach is wilted and peas are tender, about 3 minutes. Turn the vegetables out of the skillet over asparagus, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Fresh vegetables will have the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the vegetables well: Vegetables should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. This will help to bring out their natural flavors.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This is a collection of delicious and healthy vegetable recipes that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a hearty main course, you are sure to find something to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a delicious and nutritious vegetable medley that will impress your family and friends.
