\u00a0We didn&#8217;t do too much to celebrate. \u00a0(I have a little Irish in me, but no freckles!) \u00a0\u00a0I did make a cabbage dish on Monday, leaving me with half a head of green cabbage. \u00a0I love roasting wedges of cabbage, but I wanted something a little more assertive, so I decided to make an herb dressing for them. \u00a0Add in some other roasted veggies, and I came up with this recipe for <strong>Roasted Vegetables with Buttermilk Herb Sauce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Buttermilk is not something I grew up with, so I can&#8217;t really say much about it. \u00a0It does have a pleasantly sour taste that adds complexity to baked goods (think pancakes) and sauces. \u00a0 If you add a lot of dill and pepper to this recipe, you&#8217;d have something very close to ranch dressing, but without all the chemicals and preservatives in bottled or packaged varieties. \u00a0I used parsley because that&#8217;s what I had but I&#8217;d like to try it next time with a big handful of tarragon. \u00a0If you grow your own herbs, this is the perfect canvas for trying new flavor combinations!<\/p>\n<p>I served the sauce over roasted cabbage wedges and roasted golden beets. \u00a0Here is a list of other vegetables I think this would taste good on: \u00a0carrots, leeks, green beans, baked potatoes, and Brussels sprouts with bacon. \u00a0I served this with balsamic-glazed salmon last night, and you know what? \u00a0The sauce went great on the fish too! \u00a0I had a little sauce left over, so this morning I used it to make chicken salad for my husband&#8217;s lunch. \u00a0Find your own way with this delightfully green and springy sauce&#8212;start here!<\/p>\n<h4>Roasted Vegetables with Buttermilk Herb Sauce<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ingredients<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 beets<\/li>\n<li>olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 head green cabbage<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup buttermilk<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons plain yogurt<\/li>\n<li>4 green onions<\/li>\n<li>handful of fresh herbs: \u00a0use parsley, tarragon, dill, or a combination of these<\/li>\n<li>1 clove garlic or 1\/2 teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>salt and pepper to taste<\/li>\n<li>squeeze of lemon if desired (I used a big squeeze &#8211; okay, two big squeezes!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Directions<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 400*F. \u00a0Prepare the beets for roasting: \u00a0Wash them and remove any greens from the top. \u00a0In a large rectangle of aluminum foil, place the beets, root tip facing up, in the middle. \u00a0Drizzle with a little olive oil, maybe a tablespoon total. \u00a0Wrap up the beets in the foil and place in a pie plate or Pyrex bowl. \u00a0Bake for one hour or until they give when you push on them. \u00a0Set aside to cool.<\/li>\n<li>While the beets are baking, prepare the cabbage: Cut out the core of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage into 4 wedges. \u00a0Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle each wedge with about 1\/2 teaspoon of olive oil. \u00a0After the beets have been in the oven for half an hour or so, add the cabbage. \u00a0Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake again for about ten minutes. \u00a0(The time will vary depending on your oven, your cabbage, et cetera. \u00a0You want the cabbage to get golden and a little crispy at the edges, but not too dark!)<\/li>\n<li>While the vegetables are cooking, combine buttermilk, yogurt, green onions, herbs, and garlic in a food processor. \u00a0Taste it&#8230;need more garlic? \u00a0Go ahead! \u00a0Add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon if you like and blend again. \u00a0Taste to make sure it&#8217;s yummy, and then put in the fridge until ready to serve.<\/li>\n<li>Skin the beets: \u00a0once they are cool enough to handle simply slip the skins off with your fingers. \u00a0If you are using red beets, you may want to wear gloves, since they <em>will<\/em> turn your fingers pink!<\/li>\n<li>On each plate, lay down a wedge of cabbage and a beet cut into quarters. \u00a0Serve the hot veggies with the cold buttermilk herb sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Explore, experiment, enjoy!<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Dana<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To view even more of Dana\u2019s unique recipe, you can visit her at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/frugalgirlmet.blogspot.com\/\">Frugal Girlmet<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you have a fun and festive St. Patrick&#8217;s Day?
