ROASTED BABY POTATOES AND VEGETABLES



Roasted Baby Potatoes and Vegetables image

I was at a friends house helping her cook a Moroccan meal, and she needed a side dish of baby red and white potatoes and some vegetables. What I came up with, with her, was this side dish. If you find that there some potatoes larger than others (and there were in the packages she bought), cut those in half.

1 1/2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon chopped sage leaves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves (reserve the parsley stems)
1/2 cup olive oil

ROASTED BABY MONKFISH WITH BACON AND ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Baby Monkfish with Bacon and Root Vegetables image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tails baby monkfish
8 slices bacon
1 salsify
1 celery root
2 parsnips
Sherry vinegar to taste
1 bunch Italian parsley chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Clean the skin of the monkfish and remove the central bone. Tie up the tails with the slice of bacon that you have slightly pounded. Clean all the vegetables and cut them in large chunks. In a saute pan over medium heat, sear the monkfish to give a little color to the bacon, reserve. In the same pan saute the vegetables in the residual fat from the bacon, for 6 to 8 minutes or until they start to caramelize add a little bit of sherry vinegar and reduce it by half. Place the monkfish tails on top of the vegetables and cover, let the tails cook in their own steam. Add a little bit of fresh chopped parsley on top and serve as is

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender baby vegetables: Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Avoid vegetables that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are too large, they may not cook through properly. If they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them roast evenly and develop a nice flavor. You can use any seasonings you like, but some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. The ideal roasting temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: This is the perfect texture for roasted vegetables. They should be cooked through, but still have a slight crunch to them.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Roasted baby vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
