Chef John's Bourbon-Glazed Carrots
These bourbon-glazed, butter-soaked carrots are the greatest special occasion vegetable side dish of all time. Sweet, savory, and oh-so glossy.
Pan-Fried Butter Beans
This pan-fried butter bean recipe is delicious, super-easy, and good for you too.
Classic Rice Pilaf
Try this baked rice pilaf for a perfect batch of white rice made without a rice cooker. Once you see how incredibly delicious and foolproof this method is, you'll never cook rice on the stovetop again.
Broccoli Garlic Angel Hair Pasta
This pasta with broccoli and garlic makes a beautiful side dish or vegetarian main course. If you've got to eat your broccoli, this is a great way to do it! Garnish each serving with a dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano and more red pepper flakes if desired.
Braised Black Lentils
This black lentil recipe is one of my favorite side dishes. Black lentils are also known as beluga lentils since they resemble beluga caviar, the most prized of all caviar varieties.
Kartoffelklöße (German Potato Dumplings)
These German potato dumplings are the latest import to my potato-side dish collection. They're drizzled in browned butter and topped with crunchy croutons, but they're also good topped with bacon, sautéed onions, and mushroom sauce. If you have time, roast the potatoes (instead of boiling them) so they're nice and dry. I like to serve them with sausage and red cabbage.
Chef John's Braised Red Cabbage
Braised red cabbage is a very beautiful, super easy cabbage side dish. All ingredients in this recipe are totally to taste. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy, with a tiny hint of caraway to interest you.
Chef John's Best Mushroom Gravy
This mushroom gravy recipe is easy to make from scratch. It can be made with any type of stock, but I used beef stock here since I'm going to be serving the sauce with meatloaf.
Persian Rice
This Persian rice with golden potatoes and saffron takes the grand prize. I believe I've posted a few foolproof methods for cooking perfect rice, but the beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements or exact times. This will make some of you very nervous but just go with it.
Smashed Cucumber Salad
This smashed cucumber salad is one of my all-time favorite cold summer side dishes. By crushing our cucumber before we cut it, we produce flavors that un-smashed cukes can't. The only decision you're going to have to make is how long to let the cucumbers marinate — half an hour or so or not at all. Perfect with grilled meat or shrimp.
Fast and Easy Creamed Spinach
This somewhat healthy creamed spinach recipe is lighter than traditional creamed spinach. It is a little easier, a little quicker, and a little more contemporary. Have all your ingredients ready to go ahead of time. It's a classic steak side dish.
Chef John's Perfect Mashed Potatoes
This mashed potatoes recipe shows you the proper technique for making buttery, fluffy, lump-free mashed potatoes every time for the ultimate comfort food.
