A slightly sweet citrus sauce is great on all sorts of vegetables - parsnip,
carrot, swede, kumara, turnip, pumpkin or yam - either by themselves or
as a mixture. Using the microwave makes it very quick and easy - the automatic
function on most microwaves takes away any guesswork ensuring vegetables
are cooked to perfection every time.
leaf through this recipe
Succulent roasted vegetables tossed between crisp leaves and drizzled
with your favourite vinaigrette have all the elements of an exceptionally
good salad! Use this technique with different ingredients - even changing
the leaf base can make you feel like you have created a completely different
salad. These flavour combinations are sensational - you are bound to enjoy
them.
make the cut recipe
Salads don’t have to be complicated to look and
taste delicious. How you slice the vegetables makes
a huge difference - a good quality potato peeler or
cheese slicer is fantastic to cut long ribbons, some
peelers also shred. Alternatively, a very sharp knife
can do most things.
There are lots of stunning bought dressings
available - ask your friends which ones they
have discovered.
pie in the sky recipe
Common to all these pies are tomatoes - however you can
make many other stunning combinations. Just spread the
pastry with pesto or your favourite chutney and away
you go. Cutting the pastry into smaller pieces makes
them ideal snacks.

This is a mouthwatering selection of succulent salads. Whether you decide
to theme a salad to a colour, like the green bean and melon salad, or
you go for the rainbow effect of a Greek salad, the fresher the ingredients
then the better the flavour will be. New Zealand grows fabulous produce
and recipes like these enhance those tastes to the maximum. Enjoy!
souped
up recipe
If you want a delicious soup, then this selection is for you. These great
tasting classic soups are all quick and easy to make - just prepare the
vegetables and simmer in stock. There are lots of choices of stock - either
homemade, powdered or ready made - the tastes can vary so experiment until
you find your favourite.
turn
up the heat recipe
Stir-frying captures the flavours of vegetables brilliantly. Begin by
cooking denser vegetables (those that take longer to cook e.g. broccoli
or celery) and add less dense vegetables towards the end of the cooking
time (e.g. leafy ones). If the pan starts to dry out just add a sprinkling
of water to keep it nice and moist. The vegetables used in these recipes
are interchangeable - use whatever is in season or try new ones.
wedged in recipe
It couldn’t be easier to make fantastic wedges - all these recipes
follow the same method. Simply toss everything in a roasting pan
and bake until delicious and succulent!
For a tasty and quick complete meal, bake some chicken
breast or sausage with the vegetables and serve with a
leafy salad. Wonderful.
