Last Thanksgiving Bon Appetit or one of those food magazines had included an online recipe for some kind of autumn vegetable dish cooked with bacon...I know that's terribly vague.:(

I am NOT looking for that precise dish-though if anyone has a clue what I'm talking about I'd be obliged-but any recipes that you know of that kind of fit my vague description I would SO APPRECIATE! :):)

You needn't trouble yourself including the whole recipe here-just the name of it or something that'd allow me to do a net search or something.

I thank you for your help!
 
Hi Jeannie,
I don't know of any specific recipe like what you describe.
Maybe just putting "autumn vegetables" in your search will get you something.
I found a lot but none with bacon. You could just add bacon :teeth:
Not much help, sorry :(
 
Hi Nancy!

I'll probably catch you elsewhere but if you see this first...is there a particular recipe site that you'd recommend?

Thanks.:)

Here is one that has bacon.....and another that doesn't but sounds good ;)

Roasted Autumn Vegetables

1 medium rutabaga, peeled and cut into ¼-inch by 2-inch strips
8 to 10 Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1 large parsnip, peeled and cut into 8 wedges
2 carrots, peeled and cut into quarters
8 radishes, washed and quartered
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
½ teaspoon coarse ground sea salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the rutabaga strips and Brussels sprouts. Simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly tender. Drain well.

Place the rutabaga, Brussels sprouts and remaining vegetables in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Combine the olive oil, thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle over the vegetables. Sprinkle the vegetables with the coarse sea salt and ground black pepper and place in the oven, uncovered. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Makes 6 servings.

I don't know if this is any help, but there was a guest on the Today show this week who did all kinds of recipes with bacon. Maybe they have a link with those recipes listed? It might be worth a try.
 
Thank you MerryPoppins! I just checked that out-"Living high on the hog"-Bacon-lovers unite!:) There was one with potato and arugula that sounds promising.

And Nancy!! :):):) Aaagh! Those DO sound good, I may have to make more than one veg. dish (much to the dismay of my family:p:p). I'll explore the links you gave me-I sometimes use allrecipes too!!:) but have never seen the other one.
 
Do a search on www.epicurious.com. That's the Bon Appetit/Gourmet online recipe site. It's got recipes from way back to the present, and they use a rating system too.
 
recipesource used to be the old SOAR site......run through Cal Berkeley..............loads of recipes!

Don't you just love it when you ask for a recipe, get lots and then can't decide which to do ;)
 
I have Bon Appetit Thanksgiving book from last year...it has a recipe..2 potato saute with bacon and creme..
Do you think that is it?

Let me know and I can type it up for you...I have the past 2 years of BA...so I can look further if you like...
 
holycow!:eek:

I think that may be it!!

I hate to trouble you for the recipe...Actually I don't know why it didn't occur to me to go to the Library and physically check out last year's issues :rolleyes:.

It's strange that I couldn't come up with this recipe in the epicurious.com website no matter what terms I searched.

I will check the magazine out at the library; thank you for giving me one of the most obvious solutions!:jester: :jester: :jester:


And thank you everyone else.:):):):)
 
Here it is!...I would have typed it up but figured I'd wait and see if it was what you wanted

2 lbs. white-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 3/4in pieces.
1 1/2 lbs. red-skinned sweet potatoes(yams) peeled, cut into pieces 3/4in.

7 bacon slices, diced
3/4 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped red bell pepper
1/4 c. whipping cream
3 TBS. chopped Italian parsley

Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add white potatoes: cover partially and cook until almost tender, about 10 min.
Using strainer, transfer potatoes to large bowl. Return water in pot to boil. Add sweet potatoes: cover partially and cook until potatoes are almost tender but still retain their shape, about 6 min. Drain. Transfer to bowl with white pototes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool cover and chill)

Cook bacon in very large skillet over medium heat until almost crisp. about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Pour off all but 1/4 c. drippings from skillet. Add onion and bell pepper; cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in potatoes and bacon. Cover and cook 10 min. Add cream and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender and coated with sauce, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer potatoes to large bowl. Sprinkle with parsley.

Lisa you are absolutely wonderful.:)

I think I used this recipe as a base and then "winged" it with some additional ingredients. I couldn't remember what parts I winged so couldn't be more specific in my post.:o :o :o :o :o

Anyway, thank you...and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!:wave:

lilboo,
I don't know if you checked the epicurious site that I mentioned, but I know that recipe is on it. I did a search for yam dishes today, and I saw that one. As I said before, that site has lots of recipes, old and new, from Bon Appetit and Gourmet magazines.
 
Yes! WIlma Bud, thank you!

I had tried looking for it on the epicurious.com site but wasn't having any luck with the terms I used. I had improvised on the recipe in question to such a degree I couldn't remember what was in the original recipe:eek:!! It's a really great site though; I like the reviews and pictures they have there! Pics for the non-cook are very inspiring.:)

:wave:
 
Here's the one I do -- although not this year. DH loves it, and he claims he doesn't like squash.

Corn and Winter Squash with Spinach and Bacon

9 bacon slices, chopped
2 cups chopped onions
2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1 1/2 6-ounce packages baby spinach leaves
1 16-ounce package frozen corn kernels, thawed
6 T chopped fresh basil

Saute bacon in large pot over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Add onions and squash. Saute until squash is almost tender, about 12 minutes. Add spinach and corn. Toss until spinach wilts and corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.
