Side dish question
My better half is leaving next month with a group that is heading to China. I have offered to cook for one of their planning meetings this month. I do ribs and beans pretty darn well (according to some biased judges here at the casa) so those items are set. The problem is what other side or sides to do. I'm not that great at tater salad. I need some ideas for sides that will impress but that I can't screw up too bad. Any ideas?

I like to offer some sort of bread, cornbread would be good. Just make the standard box stuff even, poke the top with skewer a bunch, then brush the top with butter and honey.
I also like to offer a cole slaw, I prefer a vinegar heavy Asian inspired slaw. I take a couple heads of cabbage shredded, a couple of carrots worth of shredded carrots, one thinly thinly sliced cucumber all dressed for a couple hours in a dressing of 1 cup vinegar, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a little Worcestershire sauce. Mix it all up together and let sit for a couple of hours. Serve with chopped peanuts on top, maybe some fresh apple slices tossed in.

This cole slaw is soooo good. FWIW, I don't bother with the toasting of the almonds...heck i don't always use almonds and it's still great.

Slaw, beans and corn bread you have the basics down.
If you want a variation of cold veggies, carrots, celery broccoli pieces and bagna cauda. It is a creamy sauce that is very rich with lots of garlic in it. It is awesome. Here is a post from the Google at the bottom of our main page. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=21714 |

You need a green vegetable if this is for women.
