Ragout of Spring Vegetables
- 34 lb fingerling potato
- 12 lb carrot
- 12 lb cauliflower
- 1 onion
- 1 head garlic
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- kosher salt
- 14 lb arugula or 14 lb other lettuce, cut in thin strips
- 1 -2 tablespoon white wine (optional)
- 1 12 teaspoons fresh tarragon, minced (and or or chervil, parsley or chives, or a mixture)
- First prepare the vegetables: If the potatoes are small, just leave them whole; if not cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Carrots should be pencil thin, so cut lengthwise in halves or quarters.
- Break the cauliflower into florets.
- Cut the onion into thin halfmoons; separate the garlic, but leave it unpeeled.
- Steam the potatoes, over boiling water, in a tightly covered pot until tender, about 15 minutes; drain.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet, over medium low heat and saute the onions and garlic until the onions soften, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to the lowest setting and add the carrots and cauliflower to the skillet; season with 1 teaspoon salt and scatter the arugula over top.
- Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes (the arugula should exude some moisture, but you may want to add a splash or two of water or white wine).
- Once the carrots are done, transfer the potatoes to pan and drop butter in 1 tablespoon-sized chunks, stirring to make a light sauce.
- Garnish with tarragon and serve.
