They end up so tender, and I love the simple flavor created by the sesame seeds and by steaming them in the broth. Depending on what I'm serving them with, I decide whether…

Buttered Brussels Sprouts

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.

Grams Squash Casserole

Grams Squash Casserole by Evil Fairy

My Grammother made this way back when..I just tweaked it a bit. I have even fed this to people who hate squash and they loved it. YOU CAN OMIT THE SQUASH AND ADD CORN AS THE VEGGIE INSTEAD TO MAKE CORN CASSEROLE.BOTH ARE DELISH.

Roasted Eggplant

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.

Indian Stuffed Okra (Bhindi Masala)

Indian Stuffed Okra (Bhindi Masala) by Mihir Shah

The reason most folks don't have Okra in their first string of recipes is they don't know the right spices to use. Indian spiced okra dishes are gems. Your kids won't like it, but you and your friends will. This dish can be served as a side to Indian meats, can also be used as a side to bbq (cajun bbq), or can be served as a main…
