When cooking for a larger group, instead of making several veggie dishes, I like to combine several in one pan. This day was brussel sprouts, corn cut from the cob, aubergine and shallots. First trim and halve the brussel sprouts and blanch them in hot water for about a minute. Cut the corn from the cob and dice the aubergine. Sauté a chopped shallot in a little butter or olive oil, or a combination of both. Add the rest of the vegetables and sauté until cooked through, but not too soft. Add salt and pepper and some fresh herbs before serving.
This is really fast, really delicious, really healthy... (If cooking a big meal, prepare this just before serving so it is hot and doesn't sit and get mushy...)
Prepared in person by Chef Extraordinaire Jan this dish was simply exquisitely divine :)
ReplyDeleteScrumptous veggies enhanced the baked Sockeye Salmon and chicken dishes. Served to Jan's Favorite Aunt it was surely a dinner to remember :)
