Beans perk up chili powder, cloves, dry mustard, and ginger. Asparagus says hello with sesame seeds, basil and onions.
Tomatoes belong with oregano, basil, fresh parsley, and dill.
Spinach and greens partner with thyme, onions, and garlic. Carrots work well with brown sugar, orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a bowl, combine all except the garnish ingredients and marinate for 4 to 5 hours or overnight in a refrigerator. Transfer marinade into a saucepan, cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Four servings per recipe.
