Roasted Potato And Vegetable Terrine Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED POTATOES AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, toss all ingredients to coat. Spread evenly in pan.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking time, until vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add the vegetables to a rimmed sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the salt, pepper and thyme (if using), and gently toss vegetables to coat. Use your hands to spread the vegetables out into one layer, spacing them evenly all over the pan.
• Transfer to the oven and roast until they are tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting for even cooking.
• While vegetables roast, you can make yogurt sauce if you like: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Serve roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt, if desired, and a drizzle of oil on top.

ROASTED VEGETABLE NAPOLEONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. and brush 2 baking sheets with some of the olive oil.
• Arrange as many vegetables as possible in one layer on sheets. Brush vegetables with some remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables in middle and lower thirds of oven, switching positions of sheets in oven half way through roasting, until just tender and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Transfer vegetables as roasted to a tray, arranging them in one layer. Roast remaining vegetables in same manner. Vegetables may be roasted 1 day ahead, cooled completely, and chilled, layered between sheets of plastic wrap on trays and covered. Bring vegetables to room temperature before proceeding.
• In a small bowl stir together ricotta, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Put 1 eggplant slice on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of ricotta mixture over eggplant. Cover ricotta mixture with 2 potato slices and layer with 2 zucchini slices, 1 onion slice, 1 mozzarella slice, 2 to 3 tomato slices, 2 zucchini slices, and 1 onion slice. Spread 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture over onion and top with 1 eggplant slice. Make 5 more napoleons using remaining vegetables, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella in same manner.
• Insert a metal or wooden skewer through center of each napoleon to make a hole from top to bottom. Trim rosemary sprigs to 1-inch taller than napoleons and remove bottom leaves from each sprig, leaving about 1-inch of leaves around top. Insert 1 sprig into each napoleon and bake in middle of oven 5 minutes, or until mozzarella is melted and vegetables are heated through.

VEGETABLE TERRINE WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip the chard leaves in the boiling water and quickly remove carefully with a slotted spoon. Place them flat on a paper towel.
• Add carrots to the boiling water and cook for 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and cool.
• Lightly oil an 8 x 2 3/4 x 3 1/2 inch terrine or loaf pan. Line with a layer of plastic wrap, leaving enough hanging over the sides to cover the top. Then line the pan with the chard leaves, making sure there are no gaps and leaving enough hanging over the sides to cover the top.
• Trim the asparagus at the thicker end so they fit the length of the pan.
• Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, and then each half into four lengthwise.
• Steam the asparagus, zucchini and green beans for 6 minutes, or until tender. Drain and refresh in cold water so they keep their color. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Puree carrots with 1 cup creme fraiche in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let sit 5 minutes, then put bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted. Add to the carrot puree and mix well.
• Spoon a quarter of the carrot puree into the terrine and smooth out. Arrange 6 asparagus spears on top, all pointing in the same direction. Arrange all of the zucchini on top in a flat layer. Add another quarter of the puree and smooth out. Add tomato halves, cut side up. Add another quarter of the puree and smooth. Arrange the remaining asparagus spears, all one direction, and top with green beans (beans can be layered widthwise so they cover layer completely. Top with remaining puree and smooth out. Fold the overhanging chard leaves and plastic wrap over top. Refrigerate overnight.
• Fold back plastic wrap from top and unmold onto a plate and peel off plastic wrap.
• To make sauce: Fold the herbs and lemon zest into the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the terrine into 1-inch slices and serve with a dollop of the herb sauce on the side.
