Some tasty side dishes

So I have some extra zucchini on hand, along with a bit of garlic and some scallion whites. Wash and slice the zuke's, mince the garlic and chop the scallions. Toss with some olive oil, salt and a bit of pepper. Place in a small pan, and roast in a hot oven (425F) for about 45 minutes. Serve hot. Yum.


I also have cornmeal, some parmesan, a bit of butter and some curry.... Hmmm.... I also still have some scallion whites. Chop the scallions and sauté for a few minutes in a bit of olive oil. Add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of cornmeal (sifting and stirring so that I avoid lumps) and cook on medium high heat for a few moments - until the water is all absorbed. Grate some fresh parmesan, add a pinch of curry, a pat of butter and some salt to taste. Mix it all in and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Serve hot. Double Yum!


Serve with a nice lemon rosemary roast chicken or a lovely roast beast.
