Tag: Side

We got these beautiful heirloom carrots from a farmer that sells the best sweet corn at the side of the road. A side was needed and I recalled watching Thomas Keller’s Masterclass about glazed carrots and decided to go with that. The process is simple: cut your carrots (I went with oblique cut) and bring them to a boil with just enough water to cover them. Cook until most of the water is gone, add butter and some sugar, keep cooking on low heat until they are covered by the syrup and shiny.

A long time ago we went to a fancy steakhouse and they served us these fancy bread things as a side and I’ve been thinking about these lately.

A easy and fast to prepare Potatoes au Gratin. I found this recipe a long time ago on the internet so I’m not sure how authentic this recipe is. It does however make a great side dish that’s easy to prepare.

My mum used to make this and today I needed a veggie side and this popped into my mind. Dead simple: steam cauliflower until tender, brown butter with breadcrumbs, pour over, season, and garnish with some parsley. Even better if the cauliflower is roasted , but I didn’t have time for that.
