Side Dish Recipes

This is the other dhal we made yesterday, when the cooking was close to the end, added some spinach that was cooked with garlic, dried hot chili peppers and mustard seeds, which gave the dhal extra zing and tang, another delicious dhal recipe, of course another good recipe that you can serve with naan bread and raita :)

A baked potato with a twist. The potato is sliced about 90% and fanned out slight letting seasonings become baked inside the potato. Topped with gooey cheese this create a new favorite baked potato loaded with pizzaz.

This made for a very tasty side to some salmon filets. I skipped the 2 hour soak time. Didn't need it, since my rice cooks in about 20 minutes anyway. I used shiitakes for the mushrooms.

Without pancetta or prosciutto, these small treats are still very yummy, with some balsamic glaze drizzling on top. Everyone wants some extra ones.

Garlic lovers rejoice! In this green salad recipe, roasted asparagus along with the garlic studded soy/lime based dressing has multiple levels of flavor to savor. Enjoy!

This is probably the best scalloped potatoes I've had. We made our own cream of mushroom soup with dried wild mushrooms (see recipe link below). Tons of rich mushroom flavor that was embedded in the potatoes along with a nice cheesy flavor throughout. We used a nice old cheddar. The paprika was a nice touch and it ended up giving the potatoes a very rich color (see photos).

Make it ahead to save some time for your party day, and it tastes delicious when it comes out of the oven and freshly baked.

A spaghetti squash casserole cooked with Gryuere (or swiss) cheese and fresh basil until the parmesan cheese is browned and the casserole is bubbling. Unbelievably low-fat, low-carb delicious goodness.

This delicious sweet potato casserole impresses everyone. It's creamy but not too rich, it's sweet but not too heavy. The candied pecan topping adds the extra crunchiness and nuttiness, a great side dish to share on your Thanksgiving table.

Easy and tasty.

Roasted butternut squash and onions add tons of delicious flavor, roasted walnuts and freshly chopped basil definitely give the pasta another layer of yumminess. It can be served as a main course or a side dish!

This recipe is my glorified version of a Polish "kapusta," made hearty with the addition of country-style pork ribs, mushroooms and bacon. Traditionally, it is served with "kluski (potato dumplings)" or egg noodles and rye bread.

Very classic middle-Eastern recipe, and it's usually cooked with couscous, here quinoa is an excellent substitution, full of nutrition. It is a great side-dish that can go well with any kind of main dish.
