Vegetable recipe collection

An easy classic that's even easier using a microwave oven.

Quick, easy and tasty. A great way to make green beans into a delicious side dish.

From the Thanksgiving collection I been gathering over the years.

Green Beans tossed with Shallots, Tomatoes and Mushrooms. An easy side for nearly any main dish.

Lovely mingle of flavours. I toasted the walnets. Used dried tarragon but soaked in the oils w/orgainc cider vinegar in advance. Oh yeah and added 1 clove of finely minced garlic. A big hit with or without the garlic. High class side dish using the fresh beans from my local country road farmer.

Aromatic dhal with soaked green lentils, fresh tomatoes, and cinnamon sticks simmered in spiced ghee for a warming vegetarian curry that pairs perfectly with naan.

Green pepper and tomato soup with a mortar-pounded garlic-herb paste, saffron, and rice stirred in at the end. A Provencal-style vegetable soup with Parmesan garnish.

Green tomato jam: tart-sweet preserve made with unripe tomatoes, lemon, sugar, and water. Old-fashioned garden-rescue jam that uses up the last of the season's tomatoes.

This is one of my favorites, and is always a hit when I bring it to potlucks.

Grilled or broiled asparagus are tender, crispy and full of flavor, drizzling some freshly homemade dressing, along with some these meaty and succulent grilled mushrooms, another excellent side-dish with barbecued meats. Simply delicious!

Sweet grilled corn and cherry tomato salsa. A quick and easy side that highlights the end of summer corn and cherry tomatoes from the garden.

Grilled peaches are succulent, sweet and slightly sour with the grilling flavor. They are delicious mixed with the baby greens, creamy crumbled goat cheese, and drizzled with balsamic glaze.

Broiled portobello mushrooms sliced over mixed greens tossed with Earl Grey tea vinaigrette and topped with creamy goat cheese and fresh tomatoes for an elegant vegetarian main.

Grilled pizza is absolutely flavorful, grilling develops the smokey flavor, and crispy texture on both the vegetables and the crust. This easy grilled pizza is spread with basil pesto as the base, topped with grilled fresh summer vegetables and feta cheese, yum, yum!

Summer squash, zucchini and fennel bulb are all freshly seasonal. Fire up the BBQ, grill these fresh vegetables, toss with juicy cherry tomates, a light and tasty vinaigrette and feta cheese. You can pair it with any grilled meat. Next day the leftover can be wrapped into wraps, or tortillas, or topping for pizza, another quick, easy and delicious meal!

We used leftover grilled vegetable salad to make these quick tacos, and they were very yummy!
