What to serve alongside Ottolenghi's Lemon and Eggplant Risotto?
Here is the recipe: http://www.ottolenghi.co.uk/lemon-and-aubergine-risotto-shop
Just having a casual dinner with a few friends, looking for a few somethings veggie-ish to serve alongside. I have a few ideas from sifting through the recipes in his book "Plenty" (where the risotto recipe can also be found) but thought I would turn to Food52 for any other suggestions. Thanks!

and I'd adapt this recipe from Gjelina, for cauliflower tossed with garlic confit, parsley and red wine vinegar, roasting broccoli instead.
Another colorful winter option is a salad with round slices of blood oranges and beets, drizzled with a mustardy vinaigrette - colorful and sharp. There's something about beets + oranges that's so perfect in the dead of winter when so little is in season. ;o)
(I was going for protein, sour flavors, green.)
People, make this. ;o)
Some fermented or pickled foods...pŕeserved lemons, giant capers, giardinara (Italian pickle), pickled turnips
Falafel balls or patties
Roasted seasoned chick peas
Rapini (for ideas see a current thread here on the hotline)
