I wanted a vegetable dish to go with my Moroccan lamb. None of the recipes I found on-line were quite what I had in mind. I started taking ingredients from several of them and built my own.

Karl’s Ciambotta (Italian Vegetable Stew)
I am making an Italian “chicken under brick” this Sunday. I needed an Italian vegetable dish to go with it. I based the chicken on a Mario Batali recipe, that Richard May had posted, and this led me to Batali’s recipe for Ciambotta.

Pat and Barbara are visiting and I decided that I needed a green veg to go with the chicken and pears that I am making for dinner. Pat wanted Brussels sprouts and Barbara wanted broccoli. Since I have been making a lot of Brussels sprouts lately I sided with Barbara.

Karl’s Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Tomatoes

Karl’s Gobi Musallam Sichuan
My son-in-law was waxing eloquently about Gobhi Musallam. Chris described the dish as a whole roasted cauliflower, an impressive Indian presentation dish, which fits his Ketogenic diet. The recipe is also in-line with the soft food diet that Myr has been put on by her doctor. However, we just had Indian food last week. While I like the idea of a whole roasted cauliflower, there is nothing that says it has to be Indian. What other cuisine could I adapt this technique to?

Karl’s Spicy Garlic Stem, Chinese Celery and Bamboo Stir-fry
My original thought was not to have a separate vegetable dish this weekend. However while I was in Lion Market I saw garlic stem! I had to have it.
