Kale Recipes
Spicy Kale Invaded Florentine Rotini with Feta:
Headed out of town for a few days so I played around with some things in my fridge that would go bad before I left. Another inspiration for this was a) the cold and b) a lasagna sauce recipe my friend gave me: 1/4 cup red onion, chopped 1 tsp minced garlic (~1 clove) 2 tsp olive oil 2 cups kale, chopped 1 cup spinach, fresh 1 can diced tomatoes 1/2 small can tomato paste 1 1/2 cups basic tomato sauce 2 tsp italian seasoning 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp freshly ground sea salt 1 tsp cayenne pepper 2 tsp brown sugar whole wheat rotini, cooked according to package instructions feta cheese, crumbled Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add olive oil.Vegetable Purée Soup
There's really nothing more comforting in winter than a bowl of soup. I've never made soup, but I love vegetable purées and I was feeling inspired.
I had never done this before, so I did everything intuitively and used whatever vegetables looked good when I was shopping.
Kale & Sunflower Seeds
Kale is an extremely healthful leafy green and a more sophisticated cousin to spinach. However, I find kale to be a little bitter for my taste. I just read about "dinosaur" kale, a variety of kale that is sweeter and nuttier than regular kale, nicknamed "dinosaur" for the texture of the leaves.
This Year's Thanksgiving Dinner
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I had the honor of cooking dinner for a small group of four people. The meal was vegetarian (actually vegan, except for one dessert), mostly organic, with no added sugar and nothing refined.
White Bean Escarole Soup
White Bean Escarole Soup
adapted from Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen
The recipe calls for escarole, but you can substitute any green - spinach, kale, chard, collards - or a combination. You can use canned white beans (2 15-oz. cans, rinsed thoroughly) or dried beans (start with 1-1/2 cups).
