full plate - beer braised beef and onions, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, collard greens and homemade sourdough
we feasted - a very homey meal, something reminiscent of days gone by.
i made the mashed potatoes on the fly once i saw the final meat dish and knew only one side dish was suitable to sop up that luscious sauce!
the carrots are sauteed in butter and olive oil until tender then finished with a generous spoonful of honey and fresh rosemary. i picked this idea up on epicurious last winter and find it quite satisfying - great with parsnips too!
the collard greens are my speciality - a recipe i've adapted over the years from mark bittman's How to Cook Everything. if you've had traditionally prepared greens with the hamhock and musty flavor these are the exact opposite - spicy, tangy, delicious. tons of crushed garlic and red pepper flakes go into these along with white wine, lemon juice and tabasco.
