Serve with a side of salsa!!
3 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced (preferably at least one red and one yellow) 1 medium yellow onion, sliced 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage 4 thyme sprigs 2 (14- to 16-ounce) cans black beans, drained 1 cup canned diced tomatoes with their liquid 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated or minced 1 teaspoon dried oregano 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas 1 lime Sliced avocado, for serving Crumbled queso fresco or grated white Cheddar, for serving (optional) Chopped cilantro leaves, for serving Heat oven to 400 degrees and arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven. On a rimmed sheet pan, toss together peppers, onion, ¼ cup oil, ½ teaspoon salt and sage, then spread vegetables out in an even layer. Top with thyme sprigs, and roast on the top rack until tender and lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes or so. On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together beans, tomatoes, ¼ cup oil, chipotle chile and sauce, garlic, oregano, ½ teaspoon cumin and salt to taste. Roast on the bottom rack, stirring every 10 minutes, until juices have thickened, 25 to 35 minutes. Brush tortillas on both sides with oil, then arrange in an even layer on a third rimmed baking sheet (it’s O.K. if the tortillas overlap slightly). Bake until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot. To make the cumin salt, grate the zest from the lime. In a small bowl, stir together lime zest, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon cumin. Cut naked lime into wedges. To serve, top tortillas with beans, peppers, avocado, queso fresco (if desired), cilantro and a squeeze of lime from the wedges. Let people sprinkle on lime-cumin salt to taste. 6 to 8 chicken legs and/or thighs, skinned
Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 large onion, cut in half lengthwise and then sliced across the grain 2 mildly hot chilies, like Anaheim or New Mexico chilies, cored, seeded and cut in very thin strips, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (optional) 3 to 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 1/2 pounds (4 large) mixed green and red bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced 1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice, pulsed in a food processor Pinch of sugar inse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken pieces, in batches, on each side for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate. Pour off the fat from the pan and discard. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the olive oil and the onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, until the onions begin to soften. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the hot and sweet peppers, a bit of salt and the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and sugar and stir together until the tomatoes begin to bubble and smell fragrant, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover and cook 25 to 30 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring at regular intervals and turning the chicken pieces over so that the ingredients don’t scorch and the chicken cooks evenly. The peppers should be very soft and the chicken quite tender. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust the salt, and serve with rice, other grains of your choice or noodles. 1 small onion, chopped
1-2 hot or sweet peppers, seeded and chopped 2 garlic cloves 1-2 potatoes, diced ((Any other veggies you want to add, just cut to a similar size!)) 1 cup cooked quinoa 2 eggs 1 tsp cumin One of the things I've been doing is fried quinoa (basically a veggie fried rice but with quinoa) My favorite version is onion, hot peppers, garlic, potato, squash and kale (frozen from earlier in the year) - all diced small and sauteed. Then throw in about a cup of cooked quinoa, a couple eggs and about 1tsp cumin powder and stir a bunch. Usually we eat it as a main dish topped with salsa (fresh made or from a jar) and cheese/yogurt. 1 1/2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and submerged in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning
2 tablespoons canola oil 1 tablespoon cumin seeds 1 small red onion, cut in half lengthwise and then into 1/2-inch cubes 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 2 teaspoons coarse kosher or sea salt 1 teaspoon cayenne (ground red pepper) 1 medium-size tomato, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle, turn reddish brown, and are fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the potatoes, onion, and turmeric, and stir-fry until the potatoes and onion are lightly browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle in the salt and cayenne, and stir once or twice. Pour in 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are almost fall-apart tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Stir in the tomato and cilantro, and cover the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Then serve. Olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped 3 small sweet pepper diced 3 carrot, chopped 6 large garlic cloves, minced Kosher salt 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp marjoram 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 small eggplants cubed 2 small squash (zucchini or yellow) cubed 2 bay leaves 1 mixed tomato qt or 3-4 large tomatoes chopped In a casserole pot (or just a regular large pot) over medium heat, place enough oil to just coat the bottom. Add the onion, sweet pepper, carrot, and garlic. Let cook until fragrant. Stir in salt to taste plus the herbs and spices. Add/subtract/substitute herbs and spices to taste or for what you have on hand (ie: sweet paprika instead of smoked, or oregano instead of marjoram). Add the eggplant, squash, tomatoes, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a bubbly almost boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until eggplant and squash are nice and soft. Keep an eye on it while simmering, stir occasionally and add a little liquid if it starts to get too dry (water, chicken broth, veg broth, wine, water+boullian, all good liquid options). If desired, top with a mint and cucumber tzatziki-esk sauce (peeled/seeded/chopped cucumber, mint, plain yogurt, salt, pepper). Serve with buttered crusty toast, would be great with Sub Rosa toast or toasted pita. Could be made with any type of bean or served over rice instead of toast for a GF option.

Overall, this recipe is easy, as long as you know how to chop vegetables. The peeling, seeding, and chopping of tomatoes can be time consuming and a little messy, so be prepared! If that seems daunting, you could substitute canned tomatoes. However, the flavor profile would be very different. How to Peel a Tomato: 1. Fill a large pot halfway full of water and bring to a boil 2. Fill a large bowl with ice and water 3. Cut a small X on the bottom of the tomato 4. Drop tomato into the boiling water for 15 seconds 5. Move tomato to the ice water for 1 minute 6. Pat dry and peel! **Chop all vegetables into bite-sized/small-dice chunks Yields 8 servings Ingredients 3 pounds ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1 cup tomato juice (squeeze from the tomato leftovers or use bottled) 3 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1 red/orange bell pepper, chopped 1 roasted red pepper, peeled and chopped 1 small red onion, chopped 1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped 2 heaping Tbsp minced garlic 3 Tbsp almond meal 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 limes, juiced 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (can sub tamari) 1 tsp ground cumin 1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Directions 1. Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl 2. Transfer about 2 cups of the mixture to a blender and pulse for 10 seconds 3. Return to bowl and stir 4. Transfer another 2 cups of the mixture to a blender and pulse for 10 seconds 5. Return to bowl and stir 6. Repeat process a few more times until desired consistency is reached. I like to have a good mix of chunky vegetables and puree. 7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours prior to serving. I like it best the next day, as the flavors have a chance to meld. Notes Serve with freshly chopped basil and sour cream or greek yogurt, if desired These are so tasty mixed with pasta or polenta. Save the juices in the pan, and use them instead of water in your next batch of rice.
2 baskets sweet cherry tomatoes (can use a mixture of colors) Salt to taste A couple of pinches of sugar 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Balsamic glaze (optional) Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish large enough to fit them in a single layer. Add the salt and sugar, and toss together. Add the regular olive oil, and toss again. Place in the oven for 45 minutes until the skins have shriveled and just split; the tomatoes should still be still intact. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle balsamic decoratively around and over them, and pour on any juices from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. Use up your leeks, carrots, and celery with this absolutely delicious chicken recipe. If you feel weird about the loose coriander seeds, you can use ground or put the seeds into your spice bag in with the other herbs.
¼ cup all-purpose flour 2 thyme sprigs 1 rosemary sprig 1 whole clove 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, rinsed and patted dry 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil 4 large leeks, halved lengthwise, cleaned and thinly sliced crosswise 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage 1 pound carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks 1 celery stick, diced 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds 1 cup dry white wine About 2 cups chicken stock 1 to 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard, to taste 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or celery leaves, for garnish Buttered noodles, for serving (optional) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Tie thyme, rosemary and clove in a spice sachet or square of cheesecloth. Season chicken pieces all over with salt and pepper. Coat each piece evenly with flour; tap off excess. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large oven-proof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear in batches, until browned all over, 5 to 6 minutes a side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pot; reduce heat to medium. Add leeks and 2 tablespoons sage and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots, celery, garlic, coriander, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables begin to color, about 5 minutes. Add wine and increase heat to high; simmer, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Return rabbit to pot. Add stock (it should come almost halfway up the sides of chicken pieces) and herb sachet (or herbs and clove). Transfer pot to oven and cook, partially covered, until meat is fork tender, about 2 hours. Transfer rabbit pieces to a serving platter. If the liquid seems too thin, place the pot over medium-high heat and simmer until it thickens slightly. Discard sachet. Stir in mustard, to taste. Spoon sauce and vegetables over chicken. Garnish with parsley and celery leaves and remaining 1 tablespoon chopped sage. Serve with noodles, if desired. ¼ cup grated or finely chopped red onion (optional)
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil (or a mix of the two) 2 to 3 tablespoons buttermilk 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon curry powder ½ teaspoon ground lightly toasted cumin seeds Salt and black pepper 1 pound carrots, peeled and grated ¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped Place the onions, if using, in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 15 minutes, drain, rinse with cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk together the oil, buttermilk, lemon juice, mustard, curry powder and cumin in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the carrots, parsley, capers and drained onions, if using, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate before serving (I recommend making this 30 minutes to 1 hour ahead, then tossing again just before serving). Great for sandwiches, potato salad, or just serving alongside a grilled dinner! Add hot peppers if desired. 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 medium red bell peppers, diced 1 medium red onion, diced Coarse salt and ground pepper 1/2 cup red-wine vinegar 1/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add bell peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add red-wine vinegar and sugar and simmer until liquid is evaporated and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 4 days. |
