Brown Sugar Squash & Brussels Sprouts en Papillote
(A French Friday's with Dorie Haiku Post: Recipe Edition!)

Is this a recipe:
Throw veggies in some foil
Put into oven.

Just like when roasted
only you have to wrap them
Not as good either

Still they are quite good
And the method is easy
Delicious flavor

Thise dish was an assignments for French Friday's with Dorie, a cooking group working its way through Dorie Greenspan's culinary tome "Around My French Table". We generally avoid including the recipes in our posts. However, wherever there has been a significant adaptation by me or where the recipe has already been publicly posted by Ms. Greenspan or her publishers I will either include it here or provide a direct link. Please feel free to contact me via the link provided on my page if you need any assistance finding a French Friday with Dorie Recipe.

  1. Yup, I think you need to do all your Dorie instructions in Haiku form. Roasting would have been better, but I still enjoyed these :)

  2. Very delicious looking, Trevor! Lovely photos! I really enjoyed the ease of this dish, and yet so delicious! Roasting is always my preferred method for veggies, but this was good!
    Happy Groundhogs Day!!

  5. I don't think I've ever read a haiku recipe... very to the point. Veggies look great but I am a roaster Dorie's fancy techniques aren't changing me.

  10. You should do a book of recipe haikus! My favorite part of your posts.

    I prefer roasted,
    but this way was worth a try.
    Veggies: good for you.

  11. Definitely good, but, yeah, roasted is better. Still, anything this easy is good in my book. Well done, sir!

  12. Trevor, the picture of your vegetables is really terrific - love the photography, always! The combination of ingredients in this recipe seems to have been a winner for most Doristas, roasted or "en papillote".

  13. I liked the method but not the combination. Thanks for the reminder to enter! Have a great weekend - it actually looks like winter in SoCal today - what's up with that?

  16. I love cooking with Dorie but that amazing savory pie book has me distracted :) Shaved asparagus galette ? Yes. PLEASE :) And while I barely got this week's recipe knocked out...you managed a haiku too. Extra credit points ~

  17. Very cute, Trevor! I agree that it is hard to beat roasted vegetables though.

  18. I just gave brussel sprouts to my dad (drat). I love them and this looks like a comfort Sunday side dish - ala Dorie. Looks scrumptious! I have decided not to tweet this contest entry, but have opted to scribble it on the bathroom stall, which according to Google, attracts interested parties.

  19. I am anxious to roll back to your Galette but will comment here first. I enjoyed this, nice flavor, and easily made. But, like you, I prefer my veggies roasted and carmelized. Yes, I must say, Trevor, that it is very rude that I sometimes make friends and family wait for pictures. I have to work on that. We did almost give Peter a heart attack and he is not a young man.

  20. If I did not want to cook outdoors I would have roasted these veges. Beautifully done. I'm getting some ideas and with use those ideas and also roast next time.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ha! I think we should always give directions in haiku form!

    I see you also some additional veggies to roast. They were great both ways.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oooh, I am loving that golden galette - and the veges look good too.

  23. I'm impressed you even wrote the recipe in Haiku! Your photos are lovely!
