Vegetable Medley
We have our daughter in law from America with us - she's lovely!
This is a brilliant meal for anyone who loves vegetables, and can be vegetarian if you like.
This is a brilliant recipe for adding to chicken or fish or more or less any thing. You can use any number of vegetables - not just summer veg.
You need 400 ml of good vegetables stock
50 ml white wine
250 g baby carrots
150 g fresh peas
250 g baby turnips
Small cauliflower - break into florets
About 100 g baby leeks cut in to 4
100 g mushrooms
Heat the stock and wine and simmer then add the vegetables except the mushrooms.
Simmer until they are tender.
Generously butter an oven dish - adding the vegetables.
Fry the mushrooms in some butter with garlic and thyme.
Add these to the vegetables.
Make a sauce with the stock
Mix 50 g butter and add 3 tablespoons of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of English mustard.
Use this to thicken the simmering stock, whisking until smooth
Add a tablespoon of double cream
Pour over the vegetables
Sprinkle the top with 30 g fresh breadcrumbs
You can sprinkle with Cheddar if you like
Grill until it bubbles on the top, or you can put in an oven at 190ºC, 375ºF, Gas 5 |
