With Easter coming this week, I've turned my thoughts towards the flavors of the Easter feast. The main portion of Easter feasts often being the great stand alone flavors of turkey, ham, or lamb, I started to think about complimentary flavored side dishes.
Some of the side dishes I've made to complement holiday meals are:
String Beans with olive oil garlic mushrooms and thyme
Brussels sprouts lightly browned and simmered in chicken stock
Broccoli blanched with some melted butter and bread crumbs
Sweet potatoes baked peeled sliced and glazed
A glaze can be simply some brown sugar and balsamic vinegar simmered to thicken. Or add one of your favorite spirits to the glaze, such as cognac, Bourbon, jack Daniels or whatever
Scalloped potatoes are one of my favorite sides
Whatever your holiday meal consists of, always remember to keep it simple and enjoy
Have a great holiday and Ciao for now, Garlichut
