Dee's Spicy Veggie Kabobs

2 Ears corn -- husked and washed
2 6 Inch zucchini -- in 1" slices
2 6 Inch yellow squash -- in 1 " slices
2 Or 3 red, yellow or green bell peppers -- in 2" pieces
2 Large (Fat) carrots -- diag.-1/2" slices
6 Tiny whole new red potatoes
whole cherry tomatoes
whole mushrooms
1/2 cup butter, margarine -- or olive oil
1 packet taco seasoning mix

1. Husk and wash corn. Cut each ear in 3 or 4 pieces. Sprinkle with
water, wrap in foil and grill for 10 minutes. (Or parboil till almost
cooked.)
2. Peel and wash carrots. Slices on the diagonal so you have 1/2 inch
“planks”. Sprinkle with water, wrap in foil and place on grill for 10
minutes. (or par boil till not quite tender crisp.)
3. Wash potatoes, sprinkle with water wrap in foil etc as above.
4. Clean and cut remaining vegetables. Put veggies in a ziplock bag with
the melted butter and taco seasoning.
5. After corn, carrots and potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, quickly
thread them onto skewers with the other vegetables. Put back on grill. 6.
Brush with remaining seasoning as they cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

7. When ready to serve, pour any remaining seasoning over top before eating.

**NOTE: Try also with Italian dressing, lemon pepper seasoning, basil herb
butter, dry ranch dressing, cajun or cayenne butter.

A very easy vegetable kabob recipe, makes a great meal or side dish

Mixed Vegetables with Orange Butter Sauce

2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate -- thawed
2 tablespoons butter
Beets
Carrots
Green beans
spinach

Stir orange juice into melted butter and heat just until warm. Serve over hot
cooked vegetables.

3 - 4 servings.

Potato Risotto With Mushrooms

2 Pounds russet potatoes -- (about 8 medium)
peeled
2 Cups heavy cream
1/4 Pound Shiitake or other fresh mushrooms -- ends trimmed and
thinly diced (1/4 to 1/2)
1/4 Cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese -- (about 1-ounce)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to
taste

To prepare the potatoes, carefully cut potatoes into thin, even slices using a
knife or food processor with a slicing blade. Cut the slices into 1/8 inch
wide strips. Cut the strips crosswise into very fine dice the size of rice
grains. As the potatoes are cut, place them in a large bowl of cold water.
(This can be prepared ahead to this point and set aside at room temperature in
the bowl covered with cold water.)
To cook, bring 1 cup of the cream to a boil in a heavy large nonstick saucepan
over mediumhigh heat. Drain the potatoes and add them to the cream. Simmer
gently, adjusting the heat, until the cream is absorbed, stirring
occasionally. Pour in 1/2 of the remaining cream with all of the mushrooms.
Simmer gently until the cream is absorbed, stirring occasionally. (This can
prepared to this point about 1 1/2 hours ahead and set aside at cool room
temperature.)
To serve, bring to a simmer and pour in the remaining cream. Simmer until
thickened and the cream is absorbed (the potatoes will start to meld
together), for about 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan. Season with salt and
pepper. Mound in a vegetable dish or spoon out onto 4 to 6 large plates with
an entree. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
