Default Thanksgiving vegetable

I've been asked to bring the vegetable dish for Thanksgiving. Today I did
some test recipies to see what was good. One was a zucchini recipe with red
pepper and provolone. Almost like a crustless quiche. It was pretty good.
Then, I made a cauliflower and spinach recipe with gruyere. Yuck. Anyone
have any tried and true, but awesome (read: not green bean casserole)
vegetable recipes to go with the Thanksgiving meal?

I just posted a very good corn pudding recipe, almost like a soufflé. It can
be prepared ahead, then baked for an hour or so before serving.

We have a geography dinner club and choose new countries each time.
We just had Scotland and there were lots of good food choices, believe
or not. The person assigned the vegetable dish brought the following.
I thought it was so good, I am bringing it as a vegetable to my family
Thanksgiving. (I made herb crusted rack of lamb and that was a hit.)
But here's the great recipe for the vegetable...

Rumbledethumps:

1 lb potatoes, peeled and thick sliced
2 med leeks, washed and sliced
2 med turnips, peeled and thick sliced
1 lb cabbage, sliced
2 cloves garlic, mashed/minced
1 cup milk
2 Tblsp butter
dash nutmeg
1 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
2 oz grated cheese
Fresh chives
Boil cabbage in salted water till tender--about two mins. Remove with
slotted spoon. Boil potatoes next in same water till tender then
remove. Boil turnips in same water till tender then remove. In
separate pan, heat milk and simmer leeks until tender. Mash potatoes
and turnips with butter, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. When smooth, add
leeks, cabbage, and garlic and enough of the milk used to simmer leeks
to make smooth and creamy. Turn into buttered baking dish and top
with grated cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 mins. or until cheese bubbles.
Top with chopped chives and serve.

It was awesome.

Simply roasted vegetables can be awesome. Just cut up some bell peppers
(whatever color you like), onions, carrots, and squash, toss with a little
bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and whatever herbs you like, and roast
in a hot (375-400F) oven until they start to caramelize. Serve hot or room
temperature.

If you want something more elaborate, try this recipe (which is awesome, but
very rich) from the _Greens_ cookbook:

White Winter Vegetables Baked in Cream

2 to 3 medium leeks, white parts only
1 fennel bulb
4 to 6 small red potatoes and/or turnips
1 celery root
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt
White pepper
8 to 10 branches fresh lemon thyme or 6 branches thyme, the leaves removed
from the stems
2 cups heavy cream or half milk and half cream
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup coarse bread crumbs

Slice the leeks into 1/4-inch rounds or strips about 2 inches long, and wash
them well. Quarter the fennel bulb, trim away most of the core, and slice
it lengthwise into pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Peel the potatoes or
turnips, and slice them into rounds 1/8 inch thick. Cut away the gnarly
surface of the celery root, cut it into quarters, and slice it thinly. If
it is not to be used right away, cover it with water that has been
acidulated with a few spoonfuls of lemon juice or vinegar.

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Butter the bottom and sides of a baking dish,
and rub with the crushed garlic clove. Layer half of the vegetables in the
dish, and season them with salt, freshly ground white pepper, and the lemon
thyme or thyme leaves. Make a second layer with the rest of the vegetables,
and season them as well. Add the cream, or milk and cream, and dot the
surface with small pieces of butter, using about 2 tablespoons in all. Lay
a piece of foil loosely over the top and bake.

Melt the rest of the butter, and toss it with the bread crumbs. Remove the
gratin from the oven after half an hour, take off the foil, and cover the
surface with the bread crumbs. Return the gratin to the oven and continue
baking until the vegetables are tender, about another half-hour. Remove the
gratin from the oven and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

NOTE: I've made this with lots of vegetable combinations. I particularly
like to substitute carrots for the fennel; it takes about two carrots to
make a volume equal to one fennel bulb.

Ok, what is a fennel bulb Bob? I looked for one in the store today for the
cauliflower recipe and couldn't find it. I assume that it is in the produce
section near the garlic and onions, since it is a bulb? I ended up buying
fennel seed and that was still good!!!!!!!

P.S. Thanks for the recipe!

Most folks don't have enough oven space on T day as it is... I'd suggest
something done stove top. Veggies in cream sauce are pretty quick to fix,
taste great, and make a nice presentation... in fact one of my favorites is
creamed spinach (can be prepared the day before and reheated).

Creamed Spinach

3 tablespoons margarine or butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
2 packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
salt and pepper
Combine flour and butter in saucepan; heat and stir to make roux.
Add milk (more if necessary).

Cook 10 minutes, or until spinach is hot.
Add white sauce and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper.
Note: You can make this ahead and reheat. I like to garnish with sliced hard
cooked egg.

How dark do you make the roux? I'm assuming it's a blonde one?

Fennel is the same as anise....it is a white bulb with green
fronds...Kinda looks like a white and green bagpipe. Has a nice mild
taste of licorice.

Here are a couple of things we really like for Thanksgiving...

Spinach Maria

* FAVORITES *, spinach, vegetables

5 packages (10 oz ea) frozen chopped spinach
4 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 tablespoon butter
5 tablespoons butter; melted
6 tablespoons flour
8 ounces velveeta
8 ounces cheddar cheese
4 ounces montery jack
1 1/2 cups montery jack; grated, for topping

Thaw spinach in fridge for 24 hours; squeeze as dry as possible. (Okay
to thaw in microwave too, in my experience.)

Heat milk and spices on medium heat to just below a boil (190F).
Reduce heat and simmer.

Finely chop the onion and saute it in 1 tablespoon butter on medium
heat 5-8 minutes. Add to milk.

Combine melted butter with flour in small saute pan. Mix until
complete blended. Cook on low heat 3-4 minutes to make roux. Add roux
to milk; mix well. Cook until sauce thickens.

Cut cheeses into cubes and add to milk. Mix until cheese melts. Be
careful! Burns easily! Remove from heat. Allow to cool 15 minutes.

Add drained spinach to cheese sauce. Mix until completely blended.
Spoon into 11- x 9- x 2-inch dish. top with grated jack. Bake at 350F
for 12-15 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Tracy's Notes: Incredibly good.

News-Sentinel

Notes: Thanksgiving 2002 ~ Wonderful as always. I screwed up and used
mozzarella instead of jack by mistake, but you really couldn't tell
it.

Balsamic Roasted Onions (Bon Appetit)

* FAVORITES *, onions, thanksgiving, vegetables, xmas

4 pounds medium red onions
1/4 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh parsley; chopped

Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat
to 500F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Cut onions through root
end into 3/4- inch-thick wedges. Place in medium bowl; toss with oil.
Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in
oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add
vinegar. Return to heat. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about
2 minutes. (Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool.
Cover separately and chill. Rewarm onions in 375F oven about 15
minutes. Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.) Arrange onions on
platter. Drizzle glaze over. Sprinkle with parsley.

Makes 10 servings.

Notes: Like the pepper relish, these super-satisfying onions would be
good with all kinds of meat.

Tracy's Notes: Thanksgiving, 2003. Very good.

Squash Casserole With Applesauce

* FAVORITES *, apples, squash, vegetables

2 cups applesauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cups butternut squash; cooked and mashed
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
6 tablespoons butter; melted
2 large eggs; beaten
1/2 cup soft white bread crumbs
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Mix together applesauce, brown sugar, salt, heavy cream, squash,
nutmeg, 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, and eggs. Place in
buttered, shallow, 1 1/2 qt. casserole.

Mix together bread crumbs, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the
almonds. Sprinkle over squash. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 35
minutes.

Tracy's Notes: Made this for thanksgiving and it'll probably become a
regular. Tasted great and not like squash (which none of us much
like); but satisfied my compulsive need for something orange and
squashy on the table for this holiday. Took the place of sweet
potatoes (which none of us like much either) nicely.

Thanksgiving 2002 ~ More squashy than I remembered, but still good.

Xmas 2003 ~ Made another batch of this for xmas dinner; this time was
more apple tasting (like I remembered it). Guess it just depends on
what squash you luck into.

Brush roughly cut root vegetables with olive oil and season with salt,
pepper, and garlic, and roast.

Sauté garlic, onions, and bell pepper, add some shredded greens (collard,
turnips green, mustard, kale, chard - what you like) and stock or white
wine, and cover the pan while it steams. Stir occasionally. When the green
are tender, squeeze in some lemon juice and garnish with toasted pine nuts.

A fennel bulb looks like a pregnant little celery trying to disguise itself
by wearing dill on its head. But it smells like vegetable licorice, if you
can imagine THAT. You're likely to find it either near the celery or in a
"specialty produce" section. It might be labeled as anise.

I like to do a curried sweet potato dish. First peel, chop and boil
your sweet potatoes (approximately 1/4 per every person). Drain, and
mash. Add 1/2 stick butter (approximately 4 T) per every two whole
sweet potatoes, and a tablespoon curry powder per every one whole sweet
potato used. I like to use the Penzey's sweet curry powder - it's a
little different, somehow. At this point, I add some ginger, just for
kick, and you can, if you like, add some sweetening of some kind. I use
Splenda, but I imagine if you're not worried about sugars, that brown
sugar would work - do this to taste. Salt and pepper (using white
pepper if possible) to taste, and then spread in a casserole dish. Add
some chopped nuts, if desired, to the top, and broil for about 5
minutes, just to get it cohesive in the casserole.

Bingo. Not to mention the BRG's third birthday party with The Other
Side. :-) A nice thought, though. Thanks for that.

I tried that =EF=BB=BFBalsamic Roasted Onions (Bon Appetit) one year, it's
delicious. That braised red cabbage and pears sounds mighty good.

Good question, I always want to change the veggies a little at
thanksgiving.

I tried brussel sprouts, but I don't think I have a winning recipe.
Didn't taste that good to me.
I like broccoli, anyone with a nice way to prepare that for a holiday?

and I don't think I had the best recipe. Anybody with suggestions to
fancy up broccoli?

I'm thinking a bag of Terra chips and bottle of Duchesse de Bourgogne
Belgian red ale.

Now wouldn't this be a good use for that leetle jar of ginger in sherry in the
back of the fridge? Perhaps both the sherry *and* a tiny piece of the ginger.

Brocolli with cheese sauce, or raw with a dip, perhaps a
yogurt dip?
