ILiveInFlipFlops Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I was asked to bring a vegetable dish to a potluck an hour away tonight. (No Brussels sprouts though :lol:) Can anyone recommend something that will travel well? I don't have a crockpot but I do have an instant pot. There will already be a veggie-tray-and-dip kind of thing there. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I always do roasted root vegetables when I need to travel. Can be served hot, cold, room temp. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Roasted root vegetables and/or roasted squash was my first thought as well. Alternatively, simple steamed vegetables with a squeeze of lemon always complement any meal. Or you can mash just about anything. My girls love peas mashed with spinach and a bit of mint or dill, and they tolerate my mashed carrots with ginger and cumin. Personally, I'm a fan of mashed sweet potato with nutmeg, or mashed parsnip and rutabaga with caramelized onions on top, or mashed turnips with scallions, parsley, sour cream, and horseradish. This year I'm trying mashed cauliflower and white beans for the older kid's high school potluck. Edited November 20, 2017 by Tanaqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbutton Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Ditto the root veggies roasted Any veggie casserole--sweet potato, green bean, scalloped corn, etc. Veggie soup Any salad (may want the dressing on the side until you get there) Sweet and sour style relish tray (if it's not a part of the relish tray you mentioned)--cucumber pickles, olives, other veggies pickled, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Last year I traveled with a chopped salad, Israeli style, but to make it more Thanksgivingy I added some blanched green beans and some corn. I also took a hot dish in a carrier that had a heat pack and it stayed warm for several hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think green beans travel well. Just don't overcook. I think the french longs work well (not "frenched" as in the split open ones, but the nice, long ones that are thin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Grated beets. Wash beets, trim the roots and stem but leave unpeeled. Place in dish lined with foil, cover with foil and roast about an hour - until a paring knife goes in fairly easily. Cool, peel, grate (I use the food processor). Per 4 biggish beets add about 1-2 Tbsp red wine vinegar and/or lemon juice, ~0.5 teaspon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, stir and reheat in a heavy bottomed pan. Serve right away or cool & keep in fridge for up to 3 days. Once cold these take a while to reheat but once they're hot, they stay hot for ages, esp if you use a nice thick casserole dish or le creuset. I've reheated, wrapped in a thick towel and blanket, shoved in car and had them still be too hot to touch an hour later. (reheat on low in heavy pan or in microwave) And I've never managed to bring any home. These always get all eaten up whenever I take them anywhere... Stuffed roasted mushrooms are my other go to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
