Cauliflower, Potato and Tomato Gratin
On my side of the pond we eat cauliflower covered with loads of gooey cheese sauce. Indecent amounts almost. We’re not alone in that, are we? I hope not since it’s a match made in culinary heaven. What’s even easier is throwing everything into a big ole casserole and let the oven work for you. Add a handful of cherry tomatoes for a bit of zing and color, throw some leek into the sauce to spice it up…
Green Beans. The Ultimate Mix.
There are people who just don’t care for fancy side dishes during holidays. In fact, the Netherlands is—in spite of what you might think—a very conservative country where the motto is “Just act normal, that’s crazy enough“. For some people that also applies to food and it rings especially true for Dutch people. Now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t mean you can’t spruce up a side…
Best Beets Ever!
Behold my latest concoction! It’s by far the best beet recipe you’ll ever find. I know, perhaps I sound a wee bit haughty in asserting that my recipe is the best ever, but try it… you’ll see! Your Thanksgiving or Christmas table will be empty, less glamorous and almost boring without this side dish. You need this side dish! So, if at any time in your life you feel an insoluble void—like something’s missing—you check your pockets and…
Roasted Summer Vegetables
There seems to be a chill in the air here. I’m never quite sure what to cook around this time of year. Or what to wear, for that matter. It’s not nearly cold enough for typical autumn food (or a coat), but it’s not really BBQ (& tank top) kinda weather anymore either. Then it hit me: roasted summer vegetables. The perfect middle ground and absolute best of both seasons.
Kayotic Corn (on the cob)
When I want to make my family happy, I feed them corn on the cob. Trite but true. Especially my son likes eating it. Seriously though, not only are the colors absolutely sensational, but the flavors are pretty mind-blowing as well when you throw in a little salsa/vegetable kind of sauce. It livens it up. There’s so much more you can do with corn on the cob than just slather it with butter and sprinkle salt…
Mezgaldi
If you thought the stuffed onions I did for PW were good, you haven’t tried these yet. These are the real deal, but so much simpler to prepare and so much better! You just have to give them a try, really, they’re fantastic! I’ve been using onions as a stand-alone vegetable a lot these days, but this took them to a whole new level. I got this recipe from my…
