Interesting Ways To Prep Veg

[NoMercy]

I quite often cook Sunday Dinner for the in-laws and I like to vary the vegetables.

I will often do things like peas and pancetta, creamed spinach, cauliflower purée ... etc. I've managed to convert MIL with sprouts and chestnuts!

I would like some new and interesting ways to prep veg and would be grateful for any suggestions. TIA.

Cauliflower tempura is lovely, Tony. Not apt for Sunday dinner but a great accompaniment for, say, steak and peppercorn sauce.

New potatoes: cut across them about halfway down every 4/5mm (imagine an egg sliced halfway on an egg slicer) and add olive oil or whatever and roast in the oven. With a little practice they can be very attractive.

Hassleback potatoes?

Yes, I've just looked them up and added to my culinary education....
I like them with mixed herbs.

My mum makes the creamiest most wonderful sprouts, mashed with salt, pepper and believe it or not tinned Tip Top!

They are soooooooo good!

Well that's a new one on my, FP.
