SHOCKINGLY DELICIOUS BEST VEGETABLE MEDLEY OF YOUR LIFE



Shockingly Delicious Best Vegetable Medley of Your Life image

Best Vegetable Medley of Your Life roasts your favorite vegetables to perfect sweetness and seasons with Parmesan, pinenuts and lemon zest for a flavor explosion.

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (2-pound) bag vegetable medley -- broccoli, cauliflower and carrots (or your choice)
5 mini colored sweet bell peppers, stemmed and halved
1 red onion, peeled and sliced into 8 wedges
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided use
3 big pinches kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Zest from 1 extra large lemon (1 1/2-2 tablespoons zest)
1 (2-ounce) bag Melissa's Produce Italian Pine Nuts, toasted (about a scant 1/2 cup; or substitute toasted slivered almonds)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425F degrees. Line a large, flat baking pan or sheet with foil for easy cleanup later. (I forgot to do this and it worked out OK because I had a nonstock roasting pan.)
  • Place vegetable medley into pan, along with peppers and onions. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until coated. Fling garlic slices on top and roast for 25 minutes, undisturbed.
  • Remove from oven, add remaining tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, toasted nuts and Parmesan shreds and toss with spatulas to mix.
  • Garnish with basil if you like, and serve!
  • Serves 4-6, depending on appetites.

"BOB'S" BEEF BRISKET



If there ever was a "melt in your mouth brisket," this is it! A gentleman named Bob, gave me this recipe several years ago along with his Roasted Garlic soup. To die for! Tender, flavorful and worth the next day delight.

Provided by kitelady

Categories     Meat

Time 6h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2-5 lbs beef brisket, -first cut trimmed of fat
12 ounces beer, any kind
1 (12 ounce) bottle of heinz chili sauce
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 tablespoons ketchup

Steps:

  • The Day Before Serving.
  • On stove top, in a roasting pan or heavy Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, brown all sides of brisket.
  • Pour the beer, chilli sauce and soup mix over the browned brisket.
  • Top with the ketchup.
  • Bring mixture to a simmer, cover pot and reduce heat to low. Brisket should cook at a low "bubble". Slower, longer cooking is the key to a tender brisket.
  • Baste brisket periodically and turn it once or twice during cooking. Also check bottom of brisket to be certain it isn't burning. Otherwise, keep it tightly covered.
  • Brisket will be done when it is fork-tender in the center. Center will be brown, not pink.
  • When cooked, remove brisket from the gravy, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Pour gravy into a seperate container, cover and refrigerate as well.
  • The Next Day:.
  • 3-5 hours before serving, skim the fat from the top of the gravy.
  • Slice the brisket against the grain. The thickness of the slices is your choise.
  • Lay the brisket slices in the roasting pan or Dutch oven and pour the skimmed gravy over the meat.
  • Onions, carrots and/or potatoes can be added to the gravy and brisket, if desired.
  • Heat the gravy and brisket (and optional vegetables) on a very low heat for 3-4 hours.
  • The meat will absorb some of the gravy and be extra moist and juicy.
  • Remove brisket (and veggys) from the gravy to a serving platter.
  • Serve gravy separately.
  • Serve with horseadish as a condiment.
  • Sit back and enjoy the raves!
