This week's theme is veggies.
Here are a few of my go-to veggie recipes.
Roasted veggies - I usually make this in the winter or fall but it is great anytime.
Your choice of veggies - I usually use cauliflower, onions, mushrooms, asparagus & zuchinni.
Cut them all up to relatively the same size.
Toss them in either extra virgin olive oil or a favourite oil based salad dressing (e.g., italian)
Sprinkle on some seasonings - I use seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder & chili (non-hot) powder. I sometimes add curry powder. Even brussel sprouts (shudder!) taste better (you didn't really think I would say they tasted good did you?) this way
Mix to coat all veggies, pour into a roasting pan and pop into a preheated 350 degree oven.
The cook time varies depending on what veggies you used. Mine usually takes about 45 mins.
Grilled asparagus - this is almost in season here. We eat so much of it while in season we actually get sick of it :)
Wash asparagus and snap off woody ends.
Toss with oil based salad dressing ( I use a sweet onion one or a sun-dried tomato one), add salt & pepper.
I usually stick a skewer through the fattest part of the middle and thread about 5 spears per skewer - this makes them much easier to turn on the grill.
Grill until cooked to your liking but not charred.
Simple salad
One of my favourite salads of late has been a simple green salad with red wine vinegar & extra virgin olive oil.
I wash and tear up romaine and red leaf lettuce.
I mix equal parts red wine vinegar and EVOO
I sprinkle all with salt and toss.
If I have any handy, I will also add diced avocado to this. It is simple and delicious.
I'm not an onion fan, but my DH loves his with thinly sliced red onion too.
