5 Ways to Fill Your Thanksgiving Table With Color

当我闭上眼睛并想到一个完美的假期时,我会看到我最喜欢的人,听到眼镜叮当响和笑声,享受厨房中的气味,以及所有家常的经典菜肴,带有我喜欢制作和我的特殊风味的曲折和我的味道家庭喜欢吃。在我看来,这个场合是节日和丰富多彩的……然而,许多久经考验的感恩节食谱,我们的假期桌子只是棕色和白色。狗万买球网址

Weaving color into your Thanksgiving mealis your first to-do list item for a healthy, happy holiday, and it’s easier than you think.

Here are 10 tips to bring the rainbow to the table:

1

目标八

Before you even start cooking, aim to shop for color. Try purchasing the purple cauliflower instead of the white variety, rainbow carrots instead of standard orange. Add pomegranate seeds, slices of persimmon or bright green pear to your salads. Aim to bring home eight different colors of vegetables (other than brown and white) and your table is halfway to gorgeous.

2

MAKE A SALAD, ANY SALAD

You don’t need a recipe to make a salad, but you do need one on any great Thanksgiving spread. Toss fresh, perky greens with sliced apples, pomegranate seeds and your favorite crunchy nuts; maybe add some fresh cheese. Dress with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

3

LET YOUR VEGGIES SHINE

如果您在那只火鸡上花费大量时间和精力,请举起手,但是您最喜欢的饭菜实际上是随之而来的所有美味的东西?这个假期,尝试在蔬菜侧传播热情,并立即看到感恩节上的颜色。将布鲁塞尔芽菜扔进橄榄油和柠檬皮中,尝试使自己成为杀手素素食的汤,或者只有在将胡萝卜烤制在哈里萨(Harissa)酱中后才烤胡萝卜(见下文)。

Harissa Roasted Carrots

原料

  • 2茶匙小茴香种子
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2汤匙Harissa酱
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 28盎司(793克)长的婴儿胡萝卜,剥皮并切成长警棍
  • 1/4杯(15克)拔出香菜叶
  • Seeds of 1/2 a pomegranate
  • 2茶匙柠檬汁

方向

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

在一个大碗中,将小茴香种子,蜂蜜,哈里萨(Harissa),黄油,油和3/4茶匙盐混合在一起。加入胡萝卜并混合直至与Harissa混合物完全涂层。

将胡萝卜撒在衬有羊皮纸的烤盘上。请注意不要挤胡萝卜,因为它们会蒸而不是烤,您想要脆皮的胡萝卜!(如有必要,请使用两个锅。)

Roast the carrots for 12–14 minutes, until the carrots are beginning to brown but still have a bit of bite. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

撒上石榴种子和香菜。

SWEETEN YOUR POTATO GAME

If you don’t love creamy, rich Yukon Gold mashed potatoes or crispy roasted fingerlings, we probably can’t be friends. But, it’s true that sweet potatoes add a nutrient-packed punch, even at Thanksgiving. All varieties of potatoes are healthful, and both have a place in a balanced diet, but sweet potatoes sometimes need less doctoring to make them great.

您只需要撒上黄油或橄榄油,盐,胡椒粉以及可能的枫木,而只是升高地瓜,而不是牛奶,黄油和奶油,通常需要使土豆泥版本变得惊人。

HERBS THE WORD

Fresh herbs are the easiest way to add a bit of green to literally any dish and, while they may seem small,草药增加了风味, which equates with satisfaction and helps keep you feeling full longer so you’ll be saved from entertaining the idea of having an au gratin potato eating contest with your cousins. Add chopped chives to mashed potatoes to brighten them up, pluck thyme to sprinkle over roasted carrots, add parsley to just about anything, and use cilantro in little sprinklings all over your favorite dishes.

山羊奶酪,榛子和香菜的甜菜

原料

  • 2 tablespoons hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/4杯加1汤匙(60毫升)白葡萄酒醋
  • 1/2茶匙热熏制的西班牙辣椒粉,分裂
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 pound (454g) beets, scrubbed
  • 4盎司(113克)新鲜山羊奶酪,崩溃
  • 新鲜的黑胡椒,品尝
  • 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
  • 2汤匙切碎的香菜(可选装饰)
  • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, (optional garnish)
  • 橄榄油(可选装饰)

方向

在中高温的小煎锅中烤榛子,经常搅拌直至金黄色,约5分钟;使烤箱冷却至375°F(190.5°C)。将甜菜放入装满1英寸水的浅玻璃烤盘中。用铝箔盖住并烘烤,直到用叉子轻松地刺穿甜菜,大约1小时。从烤箱中脱下甜菜,将铝箔剥落,然后让甜菜在水槽上固定的漏勺中稍微冷却。当甜菜凉爽到足以用裸手接触时,将每种甜菜握在冷的流水下并用手摩擦,以轻松地滑下皮肤。将甜菜切成1/2英寸的切片。在一个小碗中放在一边,将1/4杯醋,1/2茶匙辣椒粉和少许犹太盐混合。在甜菜的顶部淋上敷料,同时它们仍然温暖。上面放上山羊奶酪,黑甲虫种子,榛子,海盐,切碎的香菜,片状盐和细雨油。
