Question: What is a good green vegetable to have with Thanksgiving dinner!?
Other than green bean casserole or a green saladWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I saute fresh green beans with shallots in olive oil!. I blanch the bean in hot water for about 5 minutes to speed up the cooking process!. I season with salt and pepper and a little lemon juice!. You can add minced garlic if you like garlic!.

Steamed broccoli with a drizzle of melted butter is also an option!.

I am not a fan of the green been casserole so I serve one of the above!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Broccoli with Lemon Butter Sauce

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets

In a large skillet, combine the butter, water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper!. Bring to a simmer over medium heat!. Add the broccoli to the pan, stir to coat, and cover with a lid!. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring once, until broccoli is tender but still bright green!. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold!.

Mmm I say green beans or a colorful spinach salad!.

My family also like to have greens with our Thanksgiving dinner but not sure of other people/ races would like it!. But if they are cooked right with minced garlic and good seasons and a meat like smoked turkey to give it flavor than they are soooo good!.

Well anyways have a great Thanksgiving!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Asparagus is my favorite and broccoli is second!. If you live in the South, collard greens or turnip greens or mustard greens hit the spot too!. For those faint of heart, use spinach!. I also love green peas in cream sauce with or without new potatoes!. Plain old green beans cooked with new potatoes and a little bacon and onion is great!.Or, hey if you want to go to a lot of trouble have fried green tomatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like fresh green beans steamed with some finely minced onions, or steamed broccoli to counteract some of the other heavy dishes on Thanksgiving!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
