Karl’s Vegetable Tajine (Tagine)

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.

Karl’s Roasted Broccoli and Tomatoes

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

Since wife Jan is limiting her carb intake I knew that she would want something in addition to a pasta dish. I had bought a tomato, thinking I would add it to my pesto dish, but I changed my mind. I had bought some small Brussels sprouts, one of Jan’s favorite vegetables, at the farmer’s market on Saturday. However, I had only bought a half a pound, not quite enough for a full side dish. Putting these two things together and roasting them seemed like a good idea.

Karl’s Cauliflower and Spinach with Garlic au Gratin

I am making a pot roast this week, but my son-in-law is still on his Ketogenic diet and my wife Jan is also watching her starch intake. These restrictions means that I cannot add potatoes to the roast as would be the normal accompaniment to the savory meat. Man does not live on meat alone, but I know a few who have tried.

Karl’s Garlic Thyme Green Beans II

I am always experimenting with quick ways to spruce up plain steamed green beans. Even when I am using most of the same ingredients I will switch up cooking techniques. This technique uses one fewer pans. I made this side dish to go with my broiled salmon.

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.
