Side Dish Recipes

I can't believe how good these are! I generally hate carrots, even though I love most vegetables and eat them every day. I've been looking for a way to cook carrots that would allow me to add them to my diet. This is it! Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe!

Quick steamed broccoli with fresh Caribbean inspired flavors.

Quick, easy and tasty braised cauliflower with Indian spices!

An Indian inspired recipe is full of flavor, a great side dish with some grilled meat.

Have to give this recipe 5 star. It was quite easy to make, and it came out delicious.

Elote is a popular street food in Mexico although it is frequently served at home prepared in the same way (boiled, steamed or grilled in the husk).

Very simple, quick and easy recipe. Might even coax some non-tofu people to give it a try. The slices are coated with a gentle smoky spice mixture and cooked in a blackened Cajun style to a lightly crispy exterior then finished with a honey lemon glaze. Great color and great flavor to an otherwise humble protein. Try to find smoked paprika if you can or add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.

Quick, easy to make, and it's also very tasty. Serve this freshly homemade hummus with store-bought or homemade pita bread.

A 30-minute vegetarian cauliflower curry with potatoes simmered in a spiced tomato sauce with mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric, and fresh cilantro. Bright, warming, and naturally low in fat.

This was very quick and simple to make and the flavor was wonderful...

This is a nice change of pace for green beans, with an interesting, complex flavor. I steamed the beans instead of boiling to retain more of the nutrients. Lightly toasting the almonds boosted the nutty flavor.

This is a vegetarian version of black bean-taco salad. The dressing is so refreshing and tasty, which makes this bean and veggie salad taste still delicious.

This is an awesome Raita (cucumber and yogurt) with the fresh zing of mint which goes well with lamb or to cool off your taste buds with a spicy curry or any other hot and spicy dish.

Mexican brown rice with green chiles, tomatoes, mushrooms, cumin, and chili powder. Oil-free, vegan, and ready in 30 minutes using pre-cooked rice.

A Moroccan-style carrot salad of tender cooked carrots tossed warm in a zesty dressing of lemon, garlic, cumin, and cayenne. Vegan, make-ahead, and even better after a few hours in the fridge.

This flavorful Indian rice is cooked with chopped cilantro, mint, garlic, onion, cumin and raisins, there are lots of flavor on this simple rice plate, and it is an easy recipe to follow!
