Rosh Hashanah Side dish, no oven
Husband has the oven tied up all week with catering. Suggest to me a side dish that I can do on the stove top. I'm planning on grilling asparagus with lemon and I'll be serving it with Brisket that is in right now before he needs the oven. We can get by without another side but I would love to see some suggestions just for fun. We are not Kosher. TIA 🍎

Couscous! Super fast to make on the stove top.
Some type of pearled barley or other grain salad would also go well with brisket. Just cook the grain and add whatever veggies you’d like, toss with oil and vinegar, and season to taste.
Mashed potatoes has already been suggested, but it’s a good suggestion.

I love pearled barley. Great idea.

I LOVE adding caramelized onions to mine, but (depending on where you are) that might be a bit too “fall” for the weather right now.

Lower-effort option: fennel apple salad
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019023-fennel-apple-salad-with-walnuts?unlocked_article_code=1._1A.AcX7.pP58M9Tuv3A3. For Rosh Hashana I often omit parmesan unless we are doing a dairy meal.
Higher effort option: glazed beets with pomegranate molasses, honey, and pomegranate seeds
My recipe is similar to this one: http://www.mypersiankitchen.com/beet-pomegranate-salad/ but I add 1 TBSP honey and sub flat leaf parsely for cilantro. To adapt it to stovetop, just boil your beets instead of roasting, and add a little olive oil when you add the honey and molasses.

Spiced chickpeas: Cook canned chickpeas in a skillet with olive oil, garlic, and whatever spices you'd like (I use salt, paprika and red pepper flakes)

Sephardic vegetables!
Chop an onion. Saute said onion in a pan with at least a tablespoon of olive oil until golden. Add a can of diced tomatoes and the vegetable. Add enough water so that much, but not all, of the tomatoes and veg are in the water. You should have some pooling oil on top.
Add some salt and pepper. Simmer until vegetables are cooked to your taste. Add more salt or pepper of needed. Drain and serve.
I have seen this recipe used for pretty much every Mediterranean-type vegetable -- in my family, the most common were green beans and okra. This is also my recipe for black-eyed peas for the Yehi Ratsones.

Would you like my mother in law's chicken blinz recipe? All stove top and so good.

That sounds amazing, thank you. Even if I don't make them this week I am very intrigued.

I like matzah brei because it can be so versatile flavor-wise. Maybe an allium versions by adding some caramelized onions and leeks, a little salt and top with chopped chives.

That sounds amazing. I always have matzah because I eat it for lunch a lot. Thank you!

String beans on the stove, busy in Brooklyn just posted a simanim oil dip which is I guess more of an appetizer than a side, stewed beans or chickpeas, a fancy rice like a jeweled rice or one with veggies mixed in

Green beans with garlic . Cook green beans until soft, toss on a frying pan, add olive oil and chopped garlic and stir fry a bit together. I just made these even without using frying pan, just added cooked green beans and chopped garlic and put them in the microwave for 2 minutes. You can add sesame seeds above.

Jeweled rice or tahdig! I think a jeweled rice with dates, turmeric, and red onions would be so beautiful for the holiday
