Christmas Vegetables
published by johnnydod on Dec 21, 2009
Well we are nearly there.
Now we are nearly there with the traditional Christmas dinner, kids moaning about the sprouts (I love them by the way) so why not this year try some different vegetables?
Chicory
Try it baked with a creamy white sauce
Fennel
Great as a side salad add watercress and pine nuts yummy
And as well as roasted honey parsnips and carrots try
Endives
Braised great with your Christmas fare.
Of course there are loads more to choose from Asparagus, Bamboo Shoots, Jerusalem Artichokes, Sweet potatoes loads of different beans Mung Beans, Soybeans, Dwarf Beans, Broad beans, Runner beans, and also Peas Mange tout, Lentils, I could go on and on.
I’m having roasted squash, cranberries, walnut and mango puff pastry parcels
But what ever you do cook this year enjoy your vegetables and a very merry Christmas to you all.

Didn’t know chicory was a vegetable. Thought it was something some folk put in coffee to make it taste awful.
