• Arrange cauliflower, broccoli, onion, and garlic in a single layer on the prepared pan. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Add broth, roasted vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes, adding spinach during the last 4 minutes to wilt. Cool slightly; puree in a blender or with an immersion blender. Serve hot. Or chill, covered, up to 3 days, and reheat for another use.

ROASTED VEGETABLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss prepared vegetables in a very large bowl. Add the olive oil, and a healthy amount of salt and pepper. Mix until all vegetables are completely coated with oil and seasoning.
• Transfer the vegetables and the oil to two separate baking sheets. Roast in the oven for an hour, rotating rakes half way.
• Once roasted transfer the vegetables, including the juices and oil, to a large bowl and puree with am emersion blender until smooth (or do in batches in a food processor.).
• Stir in the vegetable broth, basil, and salt and pepper to taste.

ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA

Steps:

• In a large pot add 2 tsps olive oil - add onions, celery, garlic and cook till onions are transparent. Add pepper flakes and tomatoes and simmer over low heat. Add your pasta sauce, herbs and continue to simmer while you create the remainder of the dish.
• Take Eggplant and slice horizontally (all vegetables are done on horizontal cuts) slicing approximately 1/4" thick - place in a large dish cover with kosher salt and place a layer of plastic wrap over top of the eggplant - place a heavy object on top to weight the eggplant. Leave this until you can see a remarkable amount of fluids at the bottom of the dish. Approximately 50 minutes to and hour and a half. Wash the eggplant and pat dry - this is what is known as blanching or proofing your eggplant - it removes any bitterness the eggplant may have.
• Cut the remainder of your vegetables - zucchini, squash and carrots in the same horizontal fashion approximately 1/4" thick. Along with the asparagus - place all of your vegetables in a large bowl and cover with a generous amount of Extra Virgin Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. The Red Peppers can be roasted whole and then cleaned and cut into segments after grilling. Preheat your grill (indoor or outdoor - if using outdoor I sometimes try to add some hickory or mesquite smokiness to it) the grill should be close to 400 degrees -- place all of the vegetables on the grill - turning after 4-5 minutes or until a nice char has been made. Remove vegetables to a sheet pan to cool.
• Take the asparagus and cut into 1 inch pieces and place in your sauce.
• In a large 8 x 13 baking pan add 1/2 cup of your sauce to the bottom of the dish and spread evenly over the bottom. Arrange your eggplant over the bottom of the dish (these are used in place of any lasagna noodles that you would use in regular lasagna).
• Using one half of your vegetables (except the zucchini and squash) layer them over top of the eggplant - using 1/3 of your sauce cover with sauce and then with the cheese. Your next layer will be the zucchini and squash. Repeat with your roasted vegetables - sauce and cheese - bake in 350 degree oven until cheese is bubbling and melted -- enjoy!

ROASTED-VEGETABLE AND WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Roast vegetables:
• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
• Wash leek halves and pat dry.
• Toss leek, carrots, garlic, bell peppers, plum tomatoes, fennel, and onions with oil, then spread in a 17- by 14-inch roasting pan and roast, stirring occasionally, until well browned and tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Soak porcini and make bouquet garni while vegetables roast:
• Pour boiling water over porcini in a bowl and soak until softened, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wrap celery, parsley stems, thyme sprig, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a piece of cheesecloth and tie with string.
• Lift out porcini, squeezing excess liquid back into bowl, and rinse to remove any grit. Pour soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into another bowl.
• Make stock:
• Transfer roasted vegetables to a 6- to 8-quart pot and add wine to roasting pan, then deglaze pan by boiling, scraping up brown bits, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine to vegetables in pot along with water (4 quarts), porcini and soaking liquid, bouquet garni, sun-dried tomatoes, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, until stock is reduced to about 6 cups, about 2 hours. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing firmly on and then discarding solids.
• Make sauce:
• Melt butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat and whisk in flour, then cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Add stock in a stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then bring to a boil, whisking. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

ROAST PORK SHOULDER WITH ROAST VEGETABLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 400°.
• Rinse and dry the roast; leave the entire layer of fat on the top. Place it in the roasting pan, and sprinkle salt on all sides, patting the crystals so they stick to the meat and are evenly distributed. Pour on the olive oil, and rub it all over the roast. Set the roast, fat side up, in the center of the pan.
• Scatter all the chopped vegetables and seasonings-except the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt-around, and toss everything together with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. If you are using water as cooking liquid, toss the 1 teaspoon salt with the vegetables; if using broth, less or no salt is needed, depending on the saltiness of the broth (taste to determine). Pour the white wine and 2 cups or more broth (or water) into the side of the pan so the cooking liquid is 1 inch deep, coming well up around all the vegetables.
• Set the pan in the oven and roast for an hour, then open the oven and bring the roasting pan up front, turn the vegetables over, and rotate the pan back to front, for even cooking.
• Roast for another hour or hour and a quarter (depending on the size of the roast); the internal temperature should be 170 degrees or a little higher. The meat should be browned all over with dark edges; the top (especially the fat) should be crisp and caramelized. There will still be a considerable amount of juices in the pan, and the vegetables should be cooked through and lightly browned. The dish is ready to serve now, unless you want to glaze the roast or get it darker and more crisp, in which case raise the oven temperature to 425° and proceed as directed later.
• Lift the pork out of the roasting pan with a large spatula, or by holding it with towels, and rest it on a platter while you start the sauce. If it's not going back in the oven, set the roast on a warm corner of the stove, covered loosely with foil.
• With a potato masher, crush the cooked vegetables in the juices, breaking them up into little bits. Set the sieve in the saucepan, and pour everything from the pan into the sieve, including any flavorful caramelized bits that can be scraped up. Press the vegetables and other solids against the sieve with a big spoon to release their liquid, then discard them. Let the liquid settle, and when the fat rises, skim it off. Set the saucepan over high heat, bring the juices (you should have 3 to 4 cups) to a boil, and let them reduce, uncovered.
• For further browning, return the roast to the roasting pan, including its juices. When the oven is at 425°, set the pan on a higher rack and roast until browned and crusty. This could take just a few minutes or 15 or more; check the meat frequently, and turn pan if browning unevenly.
• When the roast is out of the oven, let it sit for 10 minutes or so before serving. I like to remove the blade bone, which is visible on the side of the roast. Insert a long knife blade into the meat so it rests on the flat bone; draw the blade along the bone, following its contours, and the meat will lift off. Arrange the boneless pork on a warm serving platter.
• To finish the sauce, cook until the strained roasting juices have reduced by half, or to a consistency you like. Thicken it, if you wish, with bread crumbs (see box, page 335). Moisten the roast with some of the sauce and pass the rest.
• This pork roast is delicious with the usual mashed potatoes, but it is equally good with the Potato, Parsnip, and Scallion Mash (page 361), as well as with any of the skillet vegetables beginning on page 266.
• Or, as I like it, serve simply with its own roasted vegetables.
• When I was testing this roast pork recipe at the Vermont home of my editor, Judith Jones, her cousin dropped by with jugs of the maple syrup he produces on his nearby farm. With the pan sauce on the stove and the pork ready for its last blast of heat, a taste of the syrup inspired this glaze. Though the roast will be wonderful without it, a coating of maple syrup (mixed with mustard to balance the sweetness) gives it a dark-golden veneer and a tantalizing layer of flavor too. (Crusty pieces will be in high demand when people taste the meat.)
• For a regular-size roast, whisk together 2 tablespoons maple syrup-preferably the strong, dark cooking grade of syrup-with 2 tablespoons Dijon or other sharp mustard. After you've started the sauce and the pork is back in the empty roasting pan, brush it all over with the glaze-a thin coat is fine. (If you have a big roast and run out of glaze, just mix up more.) Roast, as instructed, for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the roast is dark and caramelized.
