Korean Style Carrots
August 9th, 2014 in Appetizers & Snacks, Salads, Sides by Julia Volhina
Korean style carrots (“morkovka po-korejski”) is a popular in post-USSR countries dish which is usually served as salad, side dish or relish.
Often it is also served on hot dogs along with sausage inside the bun.
These pretty spicy carrots are great side for meats or poultry. They can also be used as one of ingredients for salads and other dishes.
Eggplant Roast with Vegetables
May 17th, 2014 in Appetizers & Snacks, Main Dishes, No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
This is nice looking dish which can be served as either a main entree, a side dish, or an appetizer.
It contains no meat, just eggplant, bell pepper, tomatoes, sour cream and cheese.
Eggplant roasted this way looks festive (and will for sure fit nicely on a holiday table), and it is also pretty easy to do.
One medium size eggplant will produce 2-3 servings.
Vegetables with Cream
December 14th, 2013 in No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
Vegetables with cream are pretty easy to cook and they make a great side dish for meat or poultry. It can also be served as a no-meat course.
I used carrots, broccoli and cauliflower florets with peas for this recipe, but it will also work good with green beans, zucchini, brussels sprouts, whatever you have on your hands.
The same, you can use either fresh vegetables or frozen ones, or a combination of these. For example, for this recipe I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower with frozen sliced carrots and frozen peas.
Asparagus Fried with Butter and Garlic
June 8th, 2013 in Sides by Julia Volhina
Asparagus is one of foods I never ate before I came to US, and it seems pretty popular here as a healthy food, probably pretty packed with fiber everybody talks about so much here.
And this is easy way to cook it, you just need to make sure to not overheat butter and garlic.
Younger the asparagus spears require less time to cook. Make sure to cut off hard ends from the bottom all the way till soft part.
Potatoes Fried with Garlic and Caraway Seeds
April 27th, 2013 in Sides by Julia Volhina
An easy yet tasteful side dish to make. It goes well with meat or poultry or a vegetable main dish.
Caraway seeds in combination with garlic give this dish some fragrance and interesting taste.
A hint: you can boil potatoes well in advance and fry them right before serving to get side dish ready when main course is.
Seared Summer Squash
April 6th, 2013 in Main Dishes, No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
Easy and quick to make dish for summer squashes or zucchini. I actually used both to make this dish looking more festive.
I believe it is also light, especially if amount of oil used is reduced to minimum, squashes are actually being cooked in their own juices.
Seared squashes can be served as a dish on its own or as a side dish for a meat main course.
Brussel Sprouts with Mushrooms and Onions
February 2nd, 2013 in Main Dishes, No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
Brussels sprouts cooked in mushroom and onion sauce can be served as a dish on its own, or as a side dish for a meat main course.
You can use fresh or frozen brussels sprouts for this recipe, frozen ones don’t require thawing, but may need a bit less time for cooking.
Vary amount of water (or broth) and flour while cooking to reach desired thickness of the sauce (more flour and less water will make it for thicker sauce).
