In Richard Blais’s playful vegan take on osso buco (braised veal shanks), he braises very large pieces of carrots in red wine and mushroom broth until tender. Ground dried porcini mushrooms give the dish rich, meaty flavor.

Ginger-Roasted Parsnips

Ginger-Roasted Parsnips
Go to Recipe

Parsnips contain antioxidants and vitamins A and C. “They’re our favorite root vegetable,” according to Clark Frasier. “We grow them through the winter in our garden, and they’re the best parsnips you’ll ever taste. The temperature change concentrates the sugar, which makes them even sweeter and more intensely flavored.”

Haricots Verts and White Beans with Shallot Vinaigrette

Haricots Verts and White Beans with Shallot Vinaigrette
Go to Recipe

At the holidays, it’s always great to have a couple of dishes that don’t have to go in the oven. This combination of creamy white beans and slightly crunchy haricots verts makes an interesting textural mix, and it’s sturdy enough to stand at room temperature for several hours.
