Post #1 - December 20th, 2010, 8:14 amGiven the combination of cold weather and fish, I've been thrown for a loop for festive side dishes to accompany my main course. I would much appreciate the opinions of the other brilliant palettes on this board. I'm also serving a baked pasta dish, so I've got to keep them lighter. Thanks to all in advance!

Post #5 - December 20th, 2010, 8:58 amI'd want something a little acidic. Maybe sauteed Tuscan kale with a good squeeze of lemon juice (been eating that alot lately). Or I know it's kind of 2007, but a raw salad w cauliflower and shaved fennel and or granny smith apple, herbs, toasted pistachio and a simple vinaigrette sounds good too.

Post #7 - December 20th, 2010, 9:17 pmIf you also have a pasta dish I would serve some kind of green salad, with ingredients depending on what the other dishes are. If I serve crab or shrimp when I serve pasta with it, its usually in a creme sauce as opposed to a red sauce.Toria

Post #8 - December 20th, 2010, 11:13 pmAll great suggestions above, but I second the Tuscan Kale, a winter produce.
My preference is to shredded the kale, then sauteed with garlic, tossed into some cappelini and a flurry of parmesan on top. My take on pici. For a touch of freshness, some lemon zest will counter the richness of the crab stuffed shrimp.
Sounds delicious. Would you like to share your recipe?
Oops...didn't see that you are making a baked pasta dish. Wow, baked pasta and crab stuffed shrimp? Decadently rich...
Kale, definitely, kale.“Nothing is more agreeable to look at than a gourmande in full battle dress.”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
