Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 1/2 cups green beans cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 1/2 cups carrots cut into small batons 1/2-inch long

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, heat the butter, and add the scallions. Cook briefly, then add the beans, carrots, potatoes, turnips, salt, pepper and water. Cover closely.
  • If the saucepan is heavy enough and the cover fits snugly, this should be sufficient water. Take care that the saucepan does not become dry or the vegetables will burn. Add more water if neccessary.
  • Cook over gentle to moderate heat for about 5 minutes, stirring and shaking the pan occasionally to redistribute the vegetables so they cook evenly. Then add the zucchini, cover the pan again, and cook for about 3 minutes more. Do not overcook.

GIARDINIERA, SWEET AND/OR HOT (PICKLED VEGETABLES)



Giardiniera, Sweet And/Or Hot (Pickled Vegetables) image

Giardiniera is a mixture of pickled veggies, usually served as a condiment, side dish, or mixed into salads. Here is a recipe for making both the sweet or the hot variety. Basically its the same vegetable mix, the sweet version contains sugar in the marinating liquid, the hot version does not. The sweet version takes 2 days to marinate. The hot version takes 2 to 3 weeks. Since I don't can, I can't give you instructions for that....sorry. The "cook time" is the marinating time for the sweet version.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 small turnips, peeled and cut in half
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
1 pound butternut or acorn squash, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
12 ounces brussels sprouts, cleaned and trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees with two racks centered. Spray two 12-by-14-inch roasting or jelly-roll pans with cooking spray. Arrange onions, rutabaga, turnips, carrots, squash, and brussels sprouts evenly in the two pans. Drizzle all with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss lightly to coat vegetables. Sprinkle each pan with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle rosemary and thyme evenly over each pan, and roast for 25 minutes; turn vegetables with a spatula for even browning. Cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 25 minutes more. Brussels sprouts may cook faster than other vegetables; if so, transfer to a serving platter, and keep warm until remaining vegetables are tender.
