	Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John Spottiswood It is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes.

	Roasted Bell Peppers Salad - Salada de pimentos assados by Sofia Reino This is a traditional Portuguese salad you will find in most restaurants, especially during the summer.

	Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way. Remember: Never store your fresh tomatoes in the refrigerator, the cold ruins their taste and texture. Keep them right on the counter so they'll be sweeter and juicier.	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 6849 views
	Buttered Brussels Sprouts by Amanda Natividad Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Opponents of the vegetable swear it tastes like metal. Or worse, like feet. But when coated with the right vinaigrette, flash fried, or sautéed, Brussels sprouts have a complex richness, an earthy savoriness that fills your mouth. There’s nothing like it.	2 votes 4504 views
	Roasted Eggplant by Evil Fairy This is a dish you can serve as a side,bubbling hot,over pasta or cold with pita bread. You can either leave skin on or peel. You can also do on the stove,only you will need more oil. Eggplant acts as a sponge and will soak up all the oil. You use much less oil when you roast it.	1 vote 5172 views

	Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms by Amos Miller Risotto scares too many cooks. It's really a simple dish, though not commonly served at the American dinner table - unless you have some (usually Northern) Italian blood in your family. When done with care, risotto can be a sublime accompaniment to all types of dishes. In fact, you can add all types of things to a risotto to…	2 votes 1 review 5527 views

	Tostones (aka Fried Plantains) by Kimberly As a Puerto Rican, we make these plantains often. They are twice fried giving them extra crunchiness. Just add a pinch of salt and garlic salt and it becomes a really tasty side/appetizer!	1 vote 2542 views
	Caesar Asparagus, Low in Calories, Big on Deliciousness by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox I’ve never been so excited about a vegetable dish before but this one is worth raving about. It’s just like the classic salad but it’s made with roasted asparagus instead of lettuce.
