This is a beautiful, interesting way to prepare vegetables for Christmas dinner. The flavor pairs well with a variety of entrees. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed |
1 pound fresh wax beans, trimmed |
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
3 medium zucchini |
2 medium sweet red peppers, julienned |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the beans, bouillon and garlic powder; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
2. Cut zucchini into 1/2-in. slices. Hollow out centers, leaving 1/4-in. rings; discard the centers. Thread beans and peppers through squash rings.
3. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; drizzle with butter. Cover and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Yield: 12-15 servings.
