side dish ideas

[Rainbow_Mumma]

Tonight we are having steak with diane sauce and Im completely stuck on ideas for any side dishes, I don't feel like your boring packet pasta and steamed veggies. I want something tasty!
Mashed potatoes are out of the question as my big pot is out of action the biggest ive got is about a 6 cup capacity

Sauteed or steamed spinach
Creamed leeks
Potato bake
Baked potato
Pilau

Any of the above - yum!

Cous cous with roasted veg or I do it with tomato, corriander, cucumber, capsicum

How much mashed potato do you need to make? Obviously lots cos we'd get heaps in a 6 cup pot, lol!

Any of the above (my vote is with potato bake ) or

Roasted mixed veges tossed with olive oil, garlic and mixed herbs,
Rice with veges through it,
cous cous with finely diced carrot, capsicum, peas, herbs etc cooked in stock.

Or what about just plain mixed steamed veges?

pasta bake
flavoured rice

lots of mash lol dh n the kids are freaks with it n have to have heaps!
im thinking of adapting the baked potato suggestion and baking them but then scooping all the filling out making the skins crispy n cheesy with zucchini, capsicum and carrot then making a tomato salsa and scrap the diane sauce .... i so cant be bothered i need to hire a chef lol
