We recently attended an outdoor BBQ where several of the ladies brought side dishes to be added to the BBQ buffet. It was all prearranged, but as guests, we were not asked to bring anything.
One lady brought a large casserole dish which contained white potatoes which had obviously been pre-boiled, then mixed with steamed broccoli. It had some type of cheesy white sauce mixed in and a layer of cheese on top. There was more to it, spices and maybe herbs.
I would like to make it just like the one she brought, if there is such a recipe. I would have asked had I known the people better. Some people are very hesitant to give out their family recipes. I can usually figure out what's in a recipe, but this one has me puzzled.
It didn't taste like anything I've ever eaten before. I know it wasn't curry and I'm fairly certain it wasn't one of the more common spices. It might have been something one of the TV cooks recently came up with. There was no meat in the dish. I would like to know if this sounds familiar to anyone here. If it does, and they have the recipe, would they be willing to share it?
Thank you for help.
You are very welcome Deeli. Since everyone here had been so kind in trying to help me find what I was looking for, it was only "fair" that I share it. We can all learn new tricks although this may only be a "new trick" for "this old dog". :-)
The elusive spice flavor I kept missing must have been the combination of bay and nutmeg which I probably would never had thought to use. Anyway, my Mother's Day casserole was enough like the other lady's that it got me several pats on the back for a job well done. It did turn out very nice and I shared the recipe with everyone there. It was the
admitting to them how I got the recipe that made them laugh. As a rule, I never am a bit shy about asking people for their recipes or tips for the way they cook things, but for some reason, I was a bit timid about asking the lady at the BBQ for hers. That got a big laugh from everyone. I have now been accused of "getting old" and "losing my touch". At the end of most days now, I really cannot argue the point. :-)
All the best to everyone, Julia in Boca Raton, FL
