To many people, a main dish usually means a meat dish. I don’t agree with that. I think a main dish can often be a vegetable, pasta, or potato dish as well. In my house, I like to think that every dish on the table will be looked forward to and devoured with no preferential treatment; whether it be a pork chop, a flavorful vegetable dish, or a big ol’ bowl of bacon-loaded potato salad. With that being said, here are a few of 2018’s best main dishes.
Saturday Afternoon Oven Pot Roast
Saturday afternoons are perfect for making special slow-cooked oven-braised meats, which are extremely comforting and just a little bit decadent. Not only will this Saturday afternoon oven pot roast be a welcome sight on your weekend dinner table, it will also leave your house smelling absolutely heavenly. Whether served over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, mashed cauliflower, or bread, this flavorful pot roast is sure to be a hit.
Oven-Roasted Cauliflower & Tomato Salad
Oven-roasted cauliflower and cherry tomatoes are transformed into a Mediterranean summer side salad, by adding homemade basil pesto sauce and kalamata olives. The basil pesto sauce is easy to make by just tossing fresh basil, pumpkin seeds or pepitas, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper into a food processor. This is a simple recipe that really bumps up the flavor of fresh summer produce.
