This pesky weed is delicious and nutritious. I give it a simple preparation to contrasts the bitterness of the greens with sweet caramelized onions and salty feta. The sumac adds a lovely tartness. 1 bunch dandelion greens, washed 1 red onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup vegetable stock 2 oz sheep’s milk feta, […]
Picadillo translates to “hash.” This is a great use for Impossible burger. It is meaty, spicy, and rich. The briny olives contrast with the sweetness of the golden raisins against a chorus of warm spices. If your summer garden is full of long hard mouthwatering zucchini, pick those suckers and stuff them full of this […]
Just because you eat vegetarian or vegan doesn’t mean you can’t get your fish on. If you’re in the mood for some seafood salad (you know who you are), then this one’s for you. Crushing jackfruit and hearts of palm creates the perfect “crab” meat texture. Add a dressing full of briny seafoody things and […]
If you’re a cilantro fan this pesto will get your rocks off. This recipe produces a thicker pesto that I like to use in salads (link) or as a spread. You can easily thin it out by adding a little cold water in step 3. 1/2 Pepitas, toasted in a dry pan 2 cups Cilantro, […]
Let’s be honest. Zucchini noodles do not taste like pasta! Let’s appreciate them for being zucchini in a slurpable form. This sauce will give you an umami orgasm. It’s just what a limp zoodle needs. Enjoy! 2 Zucchini, spiralized 2 carrots, spiralized 1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple) 1 thinly sliced (julienned) jalapeño 1/2 […]
I call this nut salt because I don’t know what else to call it. It’s simply a blend of nuts, lemon zest, garlic, and salt. I use it in place of grated Parmesan cheese as a topping when I want to make something vegan. It is strangely addictive. Sometimes I just eat it right off […]
This is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch. The intense flavor of the harissa pairs perfectly with the zucchini noodles. It is also all veggies so you can enjoy your happy hour bottle of champagne knowing you had a low-carb lunch. This is more of a list of suggestions than a recipe. […]
If you want some spice in your life, then you need to make this spicy and smoky harissa. Harissa is a paste of chilis and spices originating in North Africa. You’ll find many different ways to make it, including blending roasted bell peppers. That method sucks. Go with this reconstituted chili approach and you won’t […]
I hated Brussels Sprouts when I was a kid. My mom would boil frozen Brussels Sprouts until they were mushy, then soak them in butter. This is not my mama’s Brussels. These are crispy, spicy, salty, and sweet. They will tickle the back of your throat like an hung Flemish guy on a warm summer […]
This is no ordinary salad. It is a warm/cold, salty/sweet, and crunchy/creamy amalgamation of deliciousness. I first had a salad similar to this at Rose’s Luxury in DC. It’s a combination of flavors that I’ve never had. The coconut cream is the foundation. The veggie sausage (could be pork sausage if you don’t care about […]
