Potatorootsaladwithlimabeans Recipes

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot, and fill with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Throw in the green beans to steam after the first 10 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut potatoes into quarters. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with fresh basil, red onion, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and olive oil. Pour over the salad, and stir to coat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place potatoes, onion and green beans in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat., Roast 25-30 minutes or until tender, stirring twice. Transfer to a large bowl; add bacon. In a small bowl, whisk the first six vinaigrette ingredients. Gradually whisk in oil until blended. Pour over potato mixture; toss to coat. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cook 2 pounds quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in salted boiling water until tender, adding 1/2 pound halved green beans in the last 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Whisk 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons grainy mustard, 1/4 cup chopped mixed herbs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with the vegetables along with 2 chopped celery stalks and 1/2 sliced red onion.

Steps:

• Peel the celeriac and the sweet potato and the shallots. Unless you prefer, leave skins on the regular potatoes (removing eyes and other blemishes, of course).
• Cut the root vegetables into approximately one inch chunks (cut the celeriac smaller as it otherwise takes longer to cook than the others). Slice the shallots to about ¼ inch. Chop up the garlic and mix with the root vegetables in a roasting pan.
• Add enough olive oil to coat the vegetables, and add in all the seasonings except the fresh basil. Mix by hand, and spread out as possible in your pan.
• Bake in 450 F preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. If you couldn't spread the vegetables out, toss them after 20 minutes, and return to oven for 8-12 more minutes. Remove from oven.
• Transfer to a bowl, and with a fork, lightly break up the vegetables, but do not mash them.
• Boil the lima beans for approximately 30 minutes (you can do this while the rest of the food is roasting), drain, and add to the bowl after breaking up the root vegetables.
• Chop the basil and finely dice the celery, and mix inches
• For the dressing: mix the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar together in a suitable vessel which can be shaken prior to use by those wishing some.
• Refrigerate/chill before serving.
• (Optional: Pan-fry 5 slices of bacon, drain and allow to cool. Crumble and serve on the side as an option. You can also add it directly to the serving bowl, but since I am not always aware of guests' dietary restrictions or preferences, I would prefer to leave this as an optional condiment for the salad.).

Steps:

• For the salad: Combine the lima beans, broth and bacon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the lima beans are tender and cooked through, adding the corn during the last 2 minutes of cooking, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and discard the bacon and drain the beans and corn. Set aside to come to room temperature.
• Make the vinaigrette: Sprinkle the garlic with about 1/4 teaspoon salt. Use the flat side of a chef's knife to press down on the garlic and drag it across the cutting board. Keep mincing, pressing and dragging the garlic until it forms a paste. Place the garlic paste in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, honey and celery seeds. Gradually whisk in the oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the lima beans and corn, tomatoes, peppers and onions and toss until combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring 1 in. of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets; cook, covered, 4-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse in cold water. Pat dry and place in a large bowl. Add carrot, eggs, green onions, celery, olives, radishes and pickle., In a small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. Add to cauliflower mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough salted water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Pour out most of the water and place the pot in the sink. Run cold water over the potatoes for about 2 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Drain well. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl. Chop 4 hard-cooked eggs and add to the potatoes, along with the red onion, green pepper, and celery. Sprinkle with the celery seed. Gradually stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, and relish (wear rubber or plastic gloves and use your hands, if you wish), being careful not to smash the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Slice the 2 remaining hard-cooked eggs. Arrange the slices on top of the salad and sprinkle with paprika. Serve immediately, or cool, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. (Note: For a potato salad with a kick, add 2 seeded and minced jalapeno peppers.).
