Vibrant Vegetables en Papillote

Theatric, rustic, and packed with steaming aromatics, it’s hard to beat the excitement that comes with cutting open a parchment package of seasonal, tasty vegetables. Par-cooked peewee or baby Dutch potatoes are ideal for an even cook time, but any variety can be cut into small enough pieces in order to achieve a nice contrast of creaminess.

In terms of garnish, ikura can sometimes be found in smaller, more affordable amounts at sushi counters. Otherwise, something salty and briny like capers will do the trick, or seasoned creme fraiche with chives (or other herbs), lemon zest, and salt will make this dish feel just as special.
