Peas, Love and Carrots

Product Information

This dish is perfect. Truth is, its so good, it’s really not limited to a summertime dinner. I’m not a huge recipe repeater, but I probably make some sort of variation of this dish at least once a month. It’s really, really good. It’s also the kind of dish where I basically always have the ingredients in my house. Oh, and did mention, it’s AMAZING.

Budget-friendly: Both carrots and peas are affordable options, making this dish a budget-friendly choice. Try canned peas. Canned peas may also be used in this recipe. Just add the drained and rinsed peas near the end of cooking, or they will get mushy.

Carrot Ginger Dressing

But, when you have so many other thing goings on, whether its a full work schedule, a busy week of holiday preparations or just a regular Wednesday (why are Wednesdays always so crazy?), it’s nice to know you can have a yummy home made meal with out getting a single dish dirty! Indian Spiced: Use cumin seeds, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric for a flavorful and aromatic side.

Even though it’s the summer and you can find artichokes everywhere right now (besides Israel), I use frozen artichoke hearts. For sure using fresh would be ideal, but when I eat this I like to get a piece of artichoke in every single bite of food I take and there is no way I am going to turn and clean 10-15 artichokes, just to sauté and bake them. I will say though, that I am extremely anti the canned artichoke route that some of you may be tempted to take. Yes they’re cheaper, and take up less space in your house, and yes, there are some canned goods that I’m ok with using, BUT, artichokes is not one of them. They are tinny, weirdly acidic, and just gross. So, please, go out and buy a few bags of frozen artichokes. Throw them in your freezer and just leave them there for a rainy day. Remove chunks of ice from the frozen peas. When bags of frozen peas sit in the freezer for a long time, they can accumulate ice. If this is what happened to your peas, make sure to remove the ice as much as possible to avoid cooling the skillet and adding extra liquid to the dish. The brisket MUST cool down in the liquid! If you remove it from the braising liquid while it is cooling it will dry out and that would be sad.Lets start with a vinaigrette. These are the lightest of all dressings. On the simplest level they’re merely any kind of acid (think lemon, lime, vinegar etc.) whisked together with oil salt and pepper. It’s usally a 2:1 ratio of oil:acid and in my opinion are the tastiest! They are flavorful but still light enough to allow you to actually taste the vegetables you are pouring them over. Plus, because the amounts of acidic fruits and vinegars out there is tremendous, the flavor combinations are endless. Which means you can basically have a different salad dressing every night and never get bored.

Even if you are a beginner cook, you will most likely end up with a delicious dish. Slowly but surely, actually to be exact, extremely slowly, as in eight years slowly, those lists turned into a cookbook. Now, that might sound amazing but wait, it’s not. Writing a cook book is one of the worst things to do in the world. For real. (To find out why, you can read my first post.) Anyway, once I decided I didn’t want to spend my time or money to publish a book that maynever make money, I decided to put all my hard earned, time spent information that I’ve gathered here on the internet to share with you all! Plain vegetables are good, but sometimes, they need a little something more to make them spectacular. Especially when kids are involved.
