Cauliflower, Broccoli and Chickpea Curry

When I lived in New York in the '80s, I used to make a version of this Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Chickpea Curry. Mainly because I LOVE Indian food and it is very cheap to make. Sometimes I would make it with chicken.

Pan-Fried Zucchini with Vinegar and Chili Pepper

This Pan-Fried Zucchini with Vinegar and Chili Pepper is very quick to make. Fried zucchini is popular all over Italy, and change little from area to area. In Rome, this appetizing dish is given extra flavor by the addition of peperoncino (small, red chili pepper) and crushed garlic that browns in the oil.

Hasselback Butternut Squash with Balsamic Maple Rosemary Glaze

Hasselback is usually associated with potatoes, but you can do it to many vegetables. It's nothing more than whole vegetables cut in such a way as to resemble a fan or accordion when roasted. The outside becomes crisp and brown while the inside is soft and creamy. Hasselback Butternut Squash with Balsamic Maple Rosemary Glaze works really well using this method. It makes a beautiful side dish.
