Roasted Romanesco Veggie Steaks with Smoky Red Pepper Sauce
Roasted Romanesco Veggie Steaks
About the Recipe: If you love cauliflower roasted in the oven, you will also enjoy roasting Romanesco. It caramelizes and takes on a nutty, sweet flavor. We serve it here as “steaks” but the florets can also be roasted and combined with your favorite grains. We love to add a touch of grated Parmesan cheese and rosemary during the last minutes or roasting.

“Wave Cut” Mixed Italian Vegetable Salad
“Wave Cut” Mixed Italian Vegetable Salad
About the Recipe: The thin vegetables slices releases the juices to flow to the surface allowing the dressing to flavor and tenderize the vegetables. Using a mandolin slicer will help to produce even thin slices. I like to chill the salad for several hours before serving. Serve it with your favorite Italian dinner or pizza.
