Need to do a prepared veggie dish to office holiday party, not green bean casserole. Suggestions/Recipes?

Question

No green bean casseroles, please!!

Answer 1

Spiniche.. Fresh green leaves are a popular dish these days
lightly steamed and served with a sprinkle of olive oil. Decorated with cheese and tomatoes for colour and attraction. Add green or
multicoloured olives and fresh crunchy carrots sliced to bite size.
You can never go wrong with these and the best part is that if all is not used up it can last in the fridge for at least five days. Serve on a large white or silver plater and put little jars of dips nearby.
Homemade, using a base of mayonaise with a pinch of mustard
a small amount of ketch-up and some white pepper. If you don't have the time, just buy the ready-made ones.

Answer 2

3-4 cups of cooked broccoli
8 oz cream cheese
2 cups chedder grated
1 cup sour cream
mix everything but the broccoli then put half the broccoli in a casserole dish and put half the cheese mix over it and repeat.

I made this for my last office potluck and everyone asked for the recipe. It is so good and easy to make. What could be better than broccoli and cheese?

Answer 4

This recipe goes really well with anything from meat to fish to other veggies:

Pan Baked Artichokes with Almonds Bread Crumbs and Herbs:

8 medium size globe artichokes
1 lemon
2 cloves of garlic- finely chopped
1 handful of whole almonds- about 1/2 cup
2 handfuls coarse bread crumbs about 1 cup
1 handful of fresh mint- finely chopped- about 1/4 cup
1 handful of fresh parsley - finely chopped- about 1/4 cup
Salt (sea or kosher would work, if you have it) and pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil
2 wineglasses of white wine (alcohol will be cooked off)
Waxed Paper

To prepare artichokes, trim 2 inches below and above the base of the artichoke. Now, trim back your leaves one by one, clicking them off until you get to the paler yellow tender leaves. Using a teaspoon with a point to the end, insert it right into the center of the artichoke and slowly remove the choke (it should appear a bit fluffy). Rub the artichoke with lemon to stop it from discoloring. You should be left with 8 whole trimmed artichokes with chokes removed.

Preheat oven to 400. Toss garlic with almonds, bread crumbs and herbs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and pour in a small amount of olive oil to loosen. ( no more than 2-3 tablespoons). Using your hands (or spoon if you are squeamish, but hands are better) scrunch it all together and stuff each artichoke shell with mixture, pack it in firmly. Place all stuffed artichokes in a baking dish. Sprinkle any excess mixture over the top and drizzle all with olive oil and pour the wine over the top of all. Rip off a big piece of waxed paper, wet and scrunch it under the tap, then tuck it over the artichokes and round the edges of the baking dish. Bake in preheated over for 30 minutes, than remove paper and bake for an additional ten minutes.

Note: you could do this ahead and put in fridge and then cook at office according to directions. If you must cook it at home and reheat, please remember that the artichokes are somewhat delicate, reheat at about 350, for about 15-20 minutes, just enough to warm and not re-cook.

Answer 5

Simple, colorful, nutritious and something for everyone: Roasted Roots.. Wash peel and cut a variety of Root vegetables: Potatoes (red potatoes work best for color)
Carrots (you can use the baby carrots for ease),
Beets (peel wearing gloves or your hands will be red! then cut into circles)
Garlic cloves, in the paper skin, seperated.
Brusseles Sprouts, I usually cut in half
Toss all with olive oil, a little salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Put into preheated 400 degree oven for around 10-15 minutes. I forget how long I cook them for, I usually keep checking them till 'fork tender'.
I often make this for my weekly gals get together and it always gets totally eaten.
