Carrots and Grapes

March 27, 2011 by Maureen 4 Comments

I hate boring vegetables.  I know, I can hear you telling me that eating greens that have been barely frightened by a hot pot of water for 1/10th of a second are good for me – but really, it’s healthy but it’s not orgasmic.  Not for me anyway.  I like color and excitement on my plate – right down to a side dish of veggies.

I received a fruit basket from a friend and it had some lovely almost black grapes in it.  Really sweet and juicy.  I thought.. “I’ll make Halloween grapes in March!”

I scraped and sliced the carrots into coins and cooked them in boiling salted water until just tender.  For those of you who don’t eat butter, look away now, because I added a tablespoon of butter, some nice sea salt crystals, some freshly grated colored peppercorns, a big handful of grapes sliced in half and a handful of freshly chopped parsley.

If you’re looking for a nice vegetable side dish, try it.  It was really good alongside crusty roasted potatoes and rare roast beef.  I stirred it up and placed it in a bowl and it looked like this!

    Wow–

    I’m going to bookmark that recipe and try it myself. I like all the ingredients but would have never thought about combining Grapes and Carrots.

    Great foodie site.
