Provided by Tricia

Categories     Main Course     Meatless Monday

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon hot sauce ((I like Cholula))
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion (large, rough chopped)
1 garlic (clove, minced)
2 stalks celery (sliced)
2 carrots (medium, peeled and sliced)
2 cups butternut squash (cut into ½ inch pieces)
2 cups cauliflower florets
12 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
14.5 ounce diced tomatoes (canned, low salt)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves ((or 1 teaspoon dried) plus extra springs for garnish)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (sliced thin)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping biscuits after baking)
1 cup whole milk (plus extra for brushing on top of biscuits before baking)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a two cup measuring cup, whisk together the vegetable broth, cornstarch and hot sauce. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large overproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the celery, carrots, butternut squash and cauliflower. Cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Add the mushrooms and tomatoes and stir to combine.
  • Whisk the cornstarch and broth mixture again and add to the skillet. Stir in 2 teaspoons fresh thyme.
  • Cover the skillet with an oven proof lid or aluminum foil, and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are in the oven prepare the biscuit topping.
  • To prepare the biscuit topping:
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the sliced butter. Using a pastry cutter blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Add 1 cup of milk, cheddar cheese and 2 teaspoons fresh thyme to the flour mixture. Gently stir with a spatula just until a sticky dough forms. Do not over-mix.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven . Using an ice cream scoop, drop balls of dough on the vegetable filling (makes about 14-16 biscuits). Brush the doughy biscuits with milk return to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly - about 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the biscuits with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Allow the casserole to rest 10 minutes before serving.

WINTER VEGETABLE COBBLER



Winter Vegetable Cobbler image

This delicious vegetarian supper dish has been very well received by everyone I have made it for. From "The Supper Book" by Marion Cunningham.

Provided by MarieRynr

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 turnip, peeled and cut into bite-size wedges
1 potato, peeled and diced (russet or baking)
1 celery root, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you are so inclined)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Put the turnip, potato, celery root, onion, carrots, and parsley in a 2 inch deep, 3 quart ovenproof baking dish (I use an approximately 13x9x2-inch Pyrex baking dish). You should have about 6 cups of vegetables.
  • In a small mixing bowl, blend the chicken broth with the cornstarch. Pour over the vegetables and mix well. Add the salt and pepper and mix to blend. Dot the top of the vegetables with the butter.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir with a fork to blend. Put the pieces of chilled butter into the flour mixture and rub quickly with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using a fork, slowly stir in the cream, until roughly mixed. Gather the dough into a shaggy mass and knead 5 or 6 times. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board until it is the size of the top of the baking dish. The dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place the dough on top of the vegetables. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through and the crust is browned. Test vegetables for doneness with a knife tip or skewer. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs

1/4 cup raw cane sugar
1 tablespoon kosher or coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the top off the pumpkin as though you were going to make a Halloween Jack-o-lantern. Seed and scrape the pumpkin so the inside is clean. Clean and reserve the seeds. Rub the lid and inside of the pumpkin with 1/4 cup of the spice mixture. Rest the lid and pumpkin cut-side-down on a baking pan. Wrap the pumpkin completely with 1 layer of aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 45 to 55 minutes or until the pumpkin turns just tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepot over medium heat. Add the leeks, onions, nutmeg, jalapeno, and cinnamon sticks. Saute until the leeks begin to soften. Add the squashes and root vegetables to heat through. Add the hot squash sauce, the potatoes, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the herbs. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and stand upright. Ladle the stew into the cavity of the pumpkin.
  • To serve, toast some Russian black bread or walnut raisin bread, and place a slice in each of several warmed bowls. Sprinkle some of the spice mixture on the rim of the pumpkin. Use a carving knife to cut thin slices off the pumpkin. Arrange the slices around the bread then ladle some of the stew over the bread. Sprinkle the freshly cut rim of the pumpkin with more spice mixture and the stew with more herbs. Repeat the process until the stew and pumpkin are gone.
  • Puree any leftover pumpkin with some spice mixture and brown sugar and use as you would canned pumpkin to make a savory pumpkin pie.
  • Combing above ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.;

BEEF STEW WITH WINTER VEGETABLES



Beef Stew with Winter Vegetables image

Buying a large piece of beef chuck and portioning it at home instead of buying cubed stew meat is a great way to infuse more flavor in to this hearty meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 pounds beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and gristle, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 celery stalks, sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine, such as Merlot
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 dried bay leaves
3 pounds winter vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, turnips, and parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss beef with flour; season with salt and pepper. In a large (at least 7-quart) Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in two batches, shake off excess flour, and sear beef on all sides until browned, 8 to 10 minutes (use more oil for second batch, if needed). Transfer beef to a plate, and set aside (reserve pot).
  • Add onion, celery, and garlic to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot, until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return browned beef to pot. Stir in tomatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 2 hours. (If liquid reduces too quickly, add a little more water.)
  • With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a large bowl. Pass remaining contents of pot through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl; discard solids. Return beef and strained liquid to pot; stir in winter vegetables. Simmer over medium-low, partially covered, until beef and vegetables are fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, stirring occasionally.

RUSTIC ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLE CHOWDER



Rustic Roasted Winter Vegetable Chowder image

A thick and hearty soup with butternut squash, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and more. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread for a cozy winter dinner. And don't worry about your vegetable dices being exact. It's supposed to be rustic!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 small butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch dice) (about 2 cups)
3 medium parsnips (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
1 medium sweet potato (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
2 medium carrots (peeled, cut into 1-inch dice) (about 1 cup)
1/2 fennel bulb (quartered & sliced thin) (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 medium onion (diced) (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable broth
2 medium russet potatoes
4-5 fresh thyme sprigs
1 cup milk (I use 2%, but anything from nonfat to whole should work just fine or unsweetened plain almond milk)
Additional salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
More pepper + thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast until tender and browned in places, about 40 minutes, turning a couple of times while roasting.
  • While the veggies are roasting, prepare the base of the soup. To a large saucepan over low heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion along with a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth. Add the potatoes and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove from heat. Pick out the thyme stems and discard.
  • Stir in the roasted vegetables. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the chowder to the pitcher of a blender. Puree until smooth. Return the pureed mixture to the pot and stir to combine. The soup should be thick, rich, and creamy.
  • Stir in the milk. Place the pot back on the burner, and, with the heat on medium-low, return to a simmer, stirring often to prevent burning.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve garnished with an additional turn of cracked pepper and thyme leaves. Sometimes, I'll reserve a few of the roasted veggies for garnish too.

1/3 cup raz al hanout spice mixture (available at specialty markets)
2 tablespoons raw cane sugar
1/2 tablespoon kosher or coarse sea salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 6 to 8 pound Hubbard squash
10 cipolini
10 red pearl onions
1/2 peeled butternut squash, cut into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 peeled rutabaga, cut into bite-size pieces (about a cup)
1 medium peeled turnip, cut into bite-size pieces (about a cup)
2 large Peruvian potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 to 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 leek, thinly sliced (white part and one inch of green)
3 toasted cinnamon sticks
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Squash sauce (see recipe)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs
4 to 6 slices Russian black bread or walnut raisin bread

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine raz al hanout, sugar, coarse salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut top off Hubbard squash as a lid. Seed and scrape inside of squash clean. Wash, and reserve seeds. Rub lid and inside of squash with half of spice mixture. Place lid and squash, cut side down, on baking sheet. Cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove lid. Return squash to oven, and bake for 45 minutes more, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, place cipolini and pearl onions on a baking sheet, and roast for 15 minutes. Spread butternut squash cubes on a separate baking sheet, sprinkle lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and roast for 20 minutes. On another baking sheet, arrange rutabaga and turnip cubes in two separate piles. Sprinkle each lightly with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and roast, taking turnips out after 15 minutes and leaving rutabaga to continue for 10 minutes more. Peel roasted pearl onions, and cut cipolini onions in half.
  • Put potatoes in a steamer basket over simmering water, and steam for 10 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, warm remaining olive oil. Add onions, leeks, cinnamon sticks, jalapeno and nutmeg, and saute until leeks start to soften. Add squash, rutabaga and turnip, and heat through. Add all of the squash sauce and potatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, until all vegetables are tender.
  • Meanwhile, spread Hubbard squash on a baking sheet, sprinkle with olive oil and salt, and toast in oven until they start to pop, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • When vegetables are done, turn off heat, and add fresh herbs. To serve, ladle stew into cavity of Hubbard squash. Toast bread, and place a slice in each warmed bowl. Ladle stew into bowl. Sprinkle spice mix on rim of squash. With carving knife, cut a thin slice of squash horizontally across rim. Place slice on stew in bowl. Sprinkle rim with more spice mix, and the stew with more fresh herbs. Repeat with remaining bowls. Garnish with seeds.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh vegetables whenever possible. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of vegetables in this stew. Some other good options include potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips.
