When I was a child, my mother used to make boiled dinners for us all. My husband's grandmother also used to make boiled dinners when he was younger. Needless to say, hubby and I both have fond memories of delicious, comforting boiled dinners from our youth. A few nights back we were at the supermarket and there, in the produce isle, was the entire contents of a vegan boiled dinner... and even better, all of the veggies were grown locally! Carrots, cabbage, onions, baby potatoes, oh my!
There is really nothing simpler to make! You literally just chop up your vegetables and boil them until soft. Season to taste with salt, pepper, a little butter and some apple cider vinegar and enjoy!
Boiled Dinner
Approx. 15 baby potatoes chopped in half or quartered
6 carrots, chopped bite size
1 large onion, chopped bite size
1 head of cabbage, chopped up
Fill a large pot about half-way with water. Place your vegetables in the pot and allow to boil. Turn heat down to medium and let cook until vegetables are soft (about 20 minutes).
When the vegetables are soft, drain the liquid and serve up. Season with salt, pepper, butter and apple cider vinegar! So yummy, believe me!
The same night that we made this scrumptious meal, my hubby and I boiled up some locally-grown beets and made them into a grilled cheese and beets sandwiches! So delicious!
