RUSS'S VEGETABLE MELANGE



Russ's Vegetable Melange image

My husband Russ has been making this lately when we have odd veg in the fridge. I think he's almost got it right as his one was great. We actually planned to make coleslaw, but the weather turned cold and we had to re-think dinner. This was great with roast chicken. The last time he made this, he used leek instead of onion. Feel free to vary the veg.

MELANGE OF WINTER VEGETABLES



Melange of Winter Vegetables image

Categories     Onion     Vegetable     Side     Roast     Sauté     Vegetarian     High Fiber     Beet     Carrot     Turnip     Winter     Healthy     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed, leaving about 1 inch of stems attached
9 baby turnips with tops, peeled and tops trimmed to 1/4 inch, or 3 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 6 wedges
18 baby carrots with tops, peeled and tops trimmed to 1/4 inch, or 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3- by 1/2-inch sticks
3/4 pound assorted red and yellow pearl onions (about 2 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves, washed well, dried, and chopped
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Wrap beets tightly in foil and roast in middle of oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Unwrap beets carefully and cool until they can be handled. Slip off and discard skins and stems. Cut each beet into 6 wedges. Beets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water blanch turnips 3 to 6 minutes (depending on size), or until barely tender, and transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water. Return water in pan to a boil and blanch carrots 5 minutes, or until barely tender. Transfer carrots with a slotted spoon to ice water and drain turnips and carrots in a colander. If using baby turnips, cut each in half.
  • Return water in pan to a boil and blanch onions 3 minutes, or until barely tender. Drain onions in another colander until cool enough to handle and peel. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, patted dry, and chilled, covered. Bring vegetables to room temperature before proceeding.
  • In a large non-stick skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté turnips and carrots with pepper and salt to taste, stirring, until tender and golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer turnips and carrots with slotted spoon to a bowl and keep warm, covered. Add oil to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté onions with pepper and salt to taste, stirring, until tender and golden brown, about 4 minutes, and with slotted spoon add to turnip mixture. Stir parsley into vegetable mixture.
  • In oil remaining in skillet cook beets with pepper and salt to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until heated through.
  • Serve beets with other vegetables (but do not toss together).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Fresh vegetables are more flavorful and nutritious than frozen or canned vegetables. If you can, try to buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or CSA.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables: Overcooked vegetables are mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Don't just boil your vegetables. Try roasting, grilling, sautéing, or stir-frying them. This will give your vegetables different flavors and textures.
  • Season your vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good basic seasonings for vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve your vegetables with a variety of dipping sauces: This will make them more fun and appealing to eat.

Conclusion:
