My friend Jen suggested this combination to me, and personally I think it’s inspired. Not only is it a mash-up of my favorite steakhouse sides, but it’s quick and easy to boot. No need to relegate it to the role of side dish, though; according to Jen, if you toss it with some pasta and a little [vegan] Parmesan cheese, you’ve got yourself a meal!

Yummy. I am trying this one on a friend who is coming over for dinner. I'll toss in the pasta and make it a one dish dinner with a glass of white wine.
