	Roasted Broccoli by John Spottiswood This roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish.	25 votes 9 reviews 6 comments 21183 views
	Minestrone Romagna Style by John Spottiswood This is the way minestrone is made in Romagna.

	Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…	13 votes 5 reviews 10 comments 16536 views
	Green Beans with Basil and Tomato by John Spottiswood This is an attractive and tasty side dish. The butter, basil and tomato adds a nice flavor boost to the green beans. I've made them with garlic salt and regular kosher salt, both are delicious. If you want to spice it up, add more black pepper or substitute crushed red pepper for the black pepper.	9 votes 4 reviews 3 comments 7519 views
	Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John Spottiswood These are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too!	6 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6284 views

If you make this, it will likely become…	2 votes 1 review 5926 views
