Any good vegetable recipes?!
Answers: Every time I'm at the grocery store I always buy extra vegetables because I want to try different veggie dishes, Sometimes when me and my boyfriend would go out to his moms for dinner she would make this carrot dish that I absolutely loved! so every time I saw she made it I was pretty happy:) Then finally one day I had a bunch of carrots and decided to call her and just get the recipe myself. Now I make it almost ever other week, and lost focus on trying new vegetable dishes. I never seem to make anything else, I usually just cook them and serve them as they are. But I'm in despriate need of some new recipes, please please help, anything will help! I especially love broccoli, if you have any broccoli recipes that would be great, but I love ALL vegetables

SWEET AND SOUR VEGETABLES
1 lb frozen Oriental Vegetables
peanut oil (for sautéing)
Sauce:
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/2 inch section fresh ginger, peeled, minced
1/2 cup pineapple chunks, drained and reserved
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (or salt to taste)
1/2 cup pineapple syrup or juice (from can)
1 clove garlic, minced
Combine ingredients for sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
In a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil until sizzling hot. Add vegetables; stir fry over high heat until vegetables are slightly browned on edges, but still bright, crisp, and barely tender. Oil in wok must be very hot to avoid vegetables becoming overcooked - cook rapidly and for a short period of time. Remove vegetables to serving dish.
In the empty, still-hot wok, drain all but 1 teaspoon of oil. Add sauce ingredients in the same order as listed. Cook 5 minutes or until sauce is translucent and cornstarch has cooked. Add garlic during final minute (do not allow it to brown).
I usually just steam my veggies, or roast or stir fry. The brocolli would be great in a stir fry. When cooking, add a little sesame oil, soy sauce, fresh or dried ginger, and fresh garlic.

A good basic veggie recipe that is a great side dish to almost anything or the main dish is just put some olive oil about 1tsp in a pan, chop up about a half of onion, 3 garlic cloves (chopped). Put the pan on the stove top on medium heat, with the oil in it. Put in onions and garlic and sautéed until onion turns translucent. Add in other chopped veggies this would include broccoli florets, green/red bell pepper, zucchini, any sort of veggie would work. and just stir fry until the broccoli is tender, and serve! You may need to add a little water to keep the veggies from burning...Add salt and pepper to taste.
parsnips! i love em..there amazing...buy some skin em chop em. toss in sautee pan with a little oil salt and pepper...get em tender then add butter and balsamic vinegar with honey. about a 1/3 ratio. try that and your mother in law will be begging you for the recipe. its simple full of flavor and contrast and sure to impress. parsnips with balsamic honey glaze ( the butter added to it will give it a glossy full flavor affect) be sure to use real butter though substitutes wont work.
Broccoli, carrots, red pepper, whole green beans
Add all to a pan with some butter and sprinkle some Morton seasoning blend on it. Oh so good.
