Veggie side dish idea for potluck supper?
« on: December 19, 2007, 12:14:24 PM »
I'm going to a potluck style supper thing on Friday and I've been volunteered to bring a vegetable side dish. I know the main course is some sort of chicken, and I know that someone else is bringing a rice dish. So we need something green, but also something that can travel and re-heat well. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss!

I really like roasted portabello mushrooms stuffed with greens that have been sauteed with onions and garlic.  They travel and are easy to reheat.

You could always do the American Stylee Green bean casserole. Or what about roasting some parsnips, turnips and butternut squash and drizzling that with some honey or maple syrup.

I was going to say green bean casserole too! Or what about cabbage leaves, stuffed with other veggies, cover with a tomato sauce & cheese - bake it when you get there.

I do a gorgeous Shaved Fennel and Parmsesan (or Asiago if you can get it) salad and it goes down a treat with everyone.

Heres what you do (I don't do recipes)
Thinly slice some fennel on a mandolin
Chop up some parsley
Shave some parmesean with a carrot peeler
Add some dressing:
Rice Wine Vinegar
Olive Oil
S&P to taste

and its FANTASTIC.
Also, I do a persian beet root salad which is awesome. YOu can google it for a recipe.

Bingo!

As much as GBC has been discussed here lately, I don't know why it didn't occur to me!

Thanks, guys!  ;D

I ended up making GBC using this recipe. It smells divine! It's all the sherry that did it! The magic ingredient! Yum!! I haven't put the topping on yet, but it's all mixed and ready to go.

I'm not sure if you were talking to me or to the fennel salad people, but I goofed and accidentally put in double the amount of minced garlic! Ooops!  ;D

One clove, four cloves. All depends upon how the person you are sleeping with feels about it!!
