Vegetable Sides

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the broccoli into florets and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

    In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  3. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, chives, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Grain Sides

    Rinse the Quinoa

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness.
