Please may we talk at about interesting and exciting vegetable dishes?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I'm very aware that it may be a short conversation.

I just need to broaden my vegetable horozons.

Side dishes or main, either would be helpful.

Tvym.

I made Jamie Oliver's broccoli salad tonight. Was rather good.

Oh fuvking hell Chaos and your fucking phone! I've posted on the wrong frigging thread because as per usual youve started a dozen of the buggers!!!!!!!

This week we are having:
-Curried red lentil stew with homemade naan
-sweet potato and cheddar quesadillas (recipe from another MNer) with homemade salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and a selection of raw veg
-roasted cauliflour mac and cheese
-asparagus with poached eggs and hollandaise
-spaghetti with green beans and cherry tomatoes in pesto with buffalo mozarella

I have the vegetable bible - its brilliant for inspiring veggie recipes I'd never normally go for.

Stir fried broccoli, garlic and chilli makes a a fab side. Butternut squash risotto is lovely (there are so many types of veggie risotto which are great). We have a lovely grated carrot and raisin salad earlier today. Or go indian - Madhur Jaffrey Curry Easy book has some brilliant, and v simple, recipes

Two of my favorite veggie side dishes :)

Aubergine and tomato bake www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/10033/aubergine-tomato-and-parmesan-bake-melanzane-alla-

Fennel gratin www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4784/fennel-gratin

Oooh so many ideas.

Thank you for the links as well.

Can you tell me more about the carrot and raisin?

Momin, are there any links to your ideas?

Who's the Veggie Bible by dinkystinky?

Get the Ottolenghi book "Plenty". Yum.

Oh no you don't this time Chaos! Not when I lovingly and usefully post and get banjaxed and scupperfied by your phone jinxery!

Grilled asparagus. Season raw green asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and either squirt of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. Grill. Eat. Is v tasty.

right, I am tired, MN auto corrected cous cous to cows cows. I think thats all you need to know. Think aubergine, courgette, peppers, tomatoes etc roast in oven add to cows cows or pasta etc add some parmesan = dinner. HTH

One of my fave sides is from Hugh F-W.

Sprouts, cut in half then boil for 7 mins. When cool enough, quarter. Put in dish with S+P, double cream and grated nutmeg. Cover with breadcrumbs, dot with buttter. Bake about 20 mins (will easily cope with 30 mins).

Its by Sophie Grigson Chaos - our nanny got a copy she used to read at ours and used to do food for the boys which they loved, which gradually converted us over. Really lovely - and easy to do recipes - and she breaks the book down by wierdy veggies..

Carrot and raisin was a Nigel Slater recipe from BBC Food website - was (as far as can remember) grated carrots in a dressing with various herbs and spices mixed in oil and a handful of raisins chucked in at the end plus some mint - really lovely.
