INGREDIENTS

  • 3 Delicata Squash
  • 4-5 Rainbow Carrots, Peeled
  • 2 Packs Colvard Maple Sage Sausage Links (Item #28612)
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Toast pecans on baking sheet for 10 min. Remove from baking sheet and set aside.
  2. For the delicata squash, cut in half lengthwise, scrape out seeds, and cut each half lengthwise again. Turn the squash horizontally and cut into 1/4″ thick slices.
  3. Prepare the carrots using a roll cut. Place carrots and squash in a single layer on a baking sheet with edges.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 2 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup and 1 1/2 tbsp of apple cider. Pour over carrots and squash, then roast for 25 minutes.

  6. Finish cooking the maple sage links in the oven by placing them directly on top of the carrots and squash. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Cut brussels in half and finely slice, leaving out the core. Place in a medium-sized bowl with the julienned apple.
  8. To make the dressing, combine 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp stone-ground mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider, and 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp stone-ground mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider, and 1 tbsp sherry vinegar in a small bowl with a whisk.

Beet & Bean Salad https://dennisfoodservice.com/beet-and-bean-salad/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beet-and-bean-salad Wed, 07 Dec 2022 16:47:28 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=1777449 If you’ve BEAN looking for a new side dish to add to your culinary repertoire…look no further!

sliced red beets with parsley leafs on white backgroundBeans are a super cost-effective way to add both value and diversity to your menu as a side dish offering.  The addition of pickled beets adds a pop of vibrant color, a sweet and sour sass, and a hint of earthy flavor to balance things out.  A major perk of this dish is it fits in regardless of the season; refreshing in the summer and hearty enough for the winter.

We’ve even added some “Waste Not, Want Not” value and a secret weapon thickener to this dish…but you gotta watch to see for yourself.

Curry Zucchini Salad https://dennisfoodservice.com/curry-zucchini-salad/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=curry-zucchini-salad Mon, 18 Oct 2021 20:25:58 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=295760 Elevate your veggies year-round with curry!

It’s always a good idea to have a few go-to ingredients in your culinary arsenal–the kind that work across the seasons. These all-star, all-season items make it easy to fire off inspired, seasonally fitting dishes from a pantry of ingredients you know, love, and trust – any time of the year.

In this preparation of a Curry Zucchini Salad, both the curry flavors and the consistent availability of zucchini perfectly fit the year-round strategy I mentioned. And, to dial in our seasonality, the rich flavors of this particular pairing scream fresh all-season comfort food! Well, to me they do.

The combination of the ingredients in the curry dressing creates a harmony of flavors, the final destination of which you can tweak to make your own. Although I use raisins in my dressing, cherries and or dates would make equally delicious substitutes.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall… watch the video to hear it all! 👨‍🍳
