Tuesday Night: Roasted Alliums and Other Good Stuff

Our CSA box include one bunch of spring onions and one bunch of green garlic. This got me thinking about the roasted alliums with chive oil recipe in FStoS, which has been on the "we should make that" list for a while.

So last night I roasted up a big batch with: spring onions, green garlic, normal garlic, shallots, yellow onion, and red onion. We had the roasted veggies next to a pile of mashed potatoes and topped both with the chive oil.

To accompany the vegetables, I seasoned a couple of turkey breast slices with salt and cayenne, browned them, and then served them on top of some quick-sauteed dino kale, topped with a bit of roasted tomato salsa.

What a meal! The combination of the roasted alliums and mashed potatoes, rounded out by a bit of sharpness from the chives, is magic, and the somewhat smoky character of the flash-fried kale complemented the turkey really well.

One note to my future self: don't forget to turn on the hood fan before throwing the cayenne-coated turkey into a hot pan. Oh! The tear gas!
