Recipe from Betty Crocker
Husband-Tested in Alice's Kitchen
Serves 4
This is an old stand by recipe for a very easy and delicious side dish for any meal. It's made in the microwave, which actually cooks up the veggies perfectly. It's nice enough for company and can easily be doubled. The ingredients can be prepped ahead in a pretty microwaveable dish and placed in the fridge until you are ready to zap it for dinner. All of the ingredients for this side dish can be found at Lost River Market & Deli.
3 medium carrots, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups cauliflower, cut into small bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 pound)
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2-teaspoon salt
1/8-teaspoon ground nutmeg
Fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup)
Place the carrots, cauliflower, butter, salt and nutmeg in a 1-quart microwaveable casserole dish. Cover tightly. (Can be made ahead to this point and chilled for up to 1 day.)
Microwave on high for 4 minutes; stir. Cover and microwave until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes longer. Let stand covered 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and cheese.

Thumbs up! I found your blog post while looking for a recipe to replicate Green Giant's immunity blend (carrots, cauliflower and dried cranberries in a butter sauce). You provided a wonderful base to which I just added cranberries. I might use curry powder next time instead of nutmeg, but I enjoyed the nutmeg. Thank you!
