CARAMELIZED VEGETABLES are an excellent side dish with an oriental flavor.
They can be used on many occasions. As a main dish, or they can accompany burgers, couscous, chicken, rice. They are crunchy and slightly sweet, really pleasant. You can use different types of vegetables to caramelize: onions, carrots, peppers, zucchini. Cut into strips or chunks, they acquire a really particular taste, which fits well with not particularly flavorful dishes.
To prepare them, I used 2 types of vinegar and soy sauce. They are easy to prepare, and you will make a great impression. As an alternative to the usual salad, I recommend trying these excellent vegetables. You can also caramelize them individually, like just onion, or peppers; they are really versatile. Perfect in every season and with different types of meat, boiled or roasted. To season cold rice or couscous, I’ll soon put a recipe of mine for the latter.
