Asparagus bread pudding by Chris PatilIt’s spring, the asparagus is in, and it sometimes seems like there aren’t enough ways to eat it. This dish can stand alone as a vegetarian entrée or serve as a hearty side dish alongside roast chicken or fish. My guests have compared the consistency to a calzone. This is a fairly forgiving recipe though I would caution against… |

Sauteed Spinach with Garlic by John SpottiswoodThis is a delicious and healthy dish that takes 5 minutes to make and goes with almost anything--asian, mediterranean or american. Barefoot Contessa has a similar recipe but adds butter and extra salt. You don't need that, but can add if you like. Fresh spinach is much better than frozen in this dish. |

Easy Chinese Green Beans with Pork by John SpottiswoodThis is a very easy and healthy Wok meal that I often throw together with fresh green beans and extra pork roast or pork chops. It tastes great with very little or no pork too, if you prefer vegetarian dishes. This is best done in a wok over very high heat, but you can stir fry it in a large saute pan if you do not have a wok. This… |

Simple Sesame Green Beans by John SpottiswoodI realize that 5 stars is an awfully high rating for such a simple dish. But honestly, I end up eating a pound of green beans every time I make them this way. 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… |

Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots by John SpottiswoodThis is a standard side dish for us when we're serving an asian-inspired meal. It's also great with any grilled meat. The honey brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and the ginger gives a bit of spice to balance the sweetness. Orange zest and juice gives a nice acidity to the dish. If you make this, it will likely become… |

Buttered Brussels Sprouts by Amanda NatividadBrussels 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. |
