Side Dishes Warm

A large selection of dishes serves as a side to the main course. Mainly based on Mediterranean vegetables, those recipes will complement meat or seafood. Most of those side dishes have no eggs or dairy, so they are suitable for vegan dinners.

Some are easy to do, like Gratin Dauphinoise or the Italian vegetable stew Giambotta. Some that require a bit more work but are incredibly delicious, like the Yorkshire pudding or the Chantarelle with potatoes.

Whatever you choose, I am sure you will enjoy it!
