Recipe: Fava & Sugar Snap Pea Carbonara

From Red Wagon Farm
There are a lot of recipes out there for Risotto with fava and snap peas, but this Carbonara recipe will give you the same rich flavors with much less stove time! 

1/2 pound dried pasta
1 to 2 cups of fresh vegetables (a mix of sugar snap and shelled favas)
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
pepper and salt as needed

Boil your pasta and while that is cooking saute the vegetables with some butter and the minced garlic in a pan big enough to hold all the vegetables and the pasta. you will be tossing all of it together and you need the heat of the pan to gently set the egg mixture.

When the pasta is cooked drain it, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. You need to add a little of the cooking water at the end to make the sauce creamy and pull the whole thing together, so reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water!. Turn the burner off, you don’t want to scramble the eggs. The residual heat will set the egg mixture. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss with the vegetables, and garlic and butter. Add half the cheese and, with metal tongs, toss until well coated, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and toss for 1 minute more.

Add the remaining cheese, salt and pepper to taste, and enough of the reserved cooking water to form a creamy sauce that clings to the noodles. Start with about 1/4 cup of the cooking water, don’t dump all of it in, you might not need it all.

Recipe: Arugula, Strawberry, & Snap Pea Salad

from Go Dairy Free

The sugar snap peas can be eaten raw or cooked. To cook, drop the snap peas in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge the snap peas in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve the bright green color.

 

Dressing

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar OR red balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice

½ tablespoon water

⅛ teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/16 teaspoon salt (I fill my ⅛ teaspoon about halfway)

1/16 teaspoon black pepper

 

Salad

6 to 8 cups arugula leaves

1 cup sliced strawberries

1 to 1 ½ cups sugar snap peas (see Snap Pea Note below)

 

For the dressing, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, water, zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

To prepare the salad, divide the arugula, strawberries, and sugar snap peas evenly among four plates. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salads.

Recipe: Warm Lentils With Wilted Chard, Roasted Beets, & Goat Cheese

from Feasting At Home

3–4 beets ( enough for 2 people)

2 cups cooked lentils

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ a red onion- diced

3 garlic cloves- rough chopped

4 cups (packed) swiss chard or rainbow chard- chopped ( or sub baby spinach)

salt and pepper to taste

1–2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

¼ cup goat cheese crumbles

 

Preheat oven to 425 F.  Scrub and trim beets and cut into ½ inch slices or wedges. Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast until tender, about 25- 30 minutes.

If cooking lentils, place ¾ cup dried lentils in a small pot and cover with 3 inches of water and a pinch salt. Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat down to a simmer, cook about 25-30 minutes or until tender but still hold their shape. Drain.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium high heat. Add diced onion and saute 3-4 minutes. Turn heat  down to medium, add garlic and cook 2 more minutes, until golden and fragrant.

Lower heat to medium low. Add chard and gently wilt, just slightly, about 2-3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add 2 cups cooked lentils to the skillet, gently folding them in and warming. Season again with salt and pepper.

Add beets and splash with 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.  Let vinegar cook down for just a couple minutes so it’s not so acidic. Sprinkle with goat cheese. Taste again, if it tastes bland it most likely needs salt. Serve immediately.

Recipe: Crispy Tofu Bowls With Sesame Bok Choy

from Naturally Ella

Sub in your Pac Choi for the Bok Choy in the recipe!

 

rice + tofu

1 cup short grain brown rice

1 recipe for crispy tofu

 

bok choy

2 small heads of bok choy

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

½ teaspoon sesame seeds

Chili Oil or Crushed Red Pepper

 

Combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook until the rice is tender, about 40 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, make the tofu and the bok choy. 

 

Make the crispy tofu. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dry the tofu and it into ¾ – 1-inch cubes. Place the tofu in a large bowl. Toss the bowl with the oil to coat. Sprinkle in the arrowroot, salt, pepper, and seasoning of choice. Quickly toss the tofu to coat again. Arrange the tofu on the baking sheet. Slide the tofu into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

For the bok choy, heat a pan (that can be covered with a lid) over medium-high heat. Slice the bok choy in quarters, length-wise. Rinse well to remove any dirt caught in the stems, just be careful not to fully separate the stems.

Add the oil followed by the bok choy. Cook just until a nice sear develops on the stems and the greens are starting to brown. Turn heat to low, add about 3 tablespoons of water, cover, and let steam for a couple of minutes. The greens will begin to wilt and the stems will soften slightly. Once there, remove the lid and add the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds. Spoon to coat the bok choy and cook for a minute or two more.

 

When ready, assemble the bowls with the rice, crispy tofu, bok choy, and a small drizzle of the sauce left in the pan. Serve with soy sauce, extra sesame seeds, and chili paste if desired.

Recipe: Zucchini Quesadillas

From Smitten Kitchen

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for frying quesadillas

2 to 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon mild (aleppo) or hotter red pepper flakes

1 1/2 pounds zucchini or other slim summer squash, halved and thinly sliced

Kosher salt

1 lime, halved

6 ounces grated monterey jack cheese

12 6-inch corn tortillas

Sliced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, additional lime, and thinly sliced jalapeno to finish


Heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add oil. Once oil is hot, add garlic and cook, stirring, until just golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Add zucchini, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and red pepper flakes and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, turning over occasionally, until zucchini becomes soft and starts to break down, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and cook 7 to 10 minutes more, at which point the zucchini will be jammy and very tender. Taste for seasoning — I needed about 1/2 teaspoon more salt here. Add the juice of half your lime and scrape mixture into a wide bowl. Let cool slightly while you prepare any toppings or grate the cheese you probably haven’t yet, if you’re me.

 

Add cheese to zucchini mixture and mix. Lay out 6 of your tortillas and divide the filling between them, going all the way to the edges. Place remaining 6 tortillas on top.

While you could use your large skillet again, I prefer a nonstick for these quesadillas. Heat the skillet of your choice over medium and add a couple teaspoons of oil. Transfer your assembled quesadillas to the skillet and cook until deeply golden and crisp underneath, letting whatever cheese seeps out cook and crisp in the pan. Flip quesadilla(s) and repeat on second side. Try to take all of the lacy brown cheese with you when you remove your finished quesadillas from the pan. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lime half over them.

 

Serve halved or in wedges with additional lime wedges, avocado, cilantro, and jalapeno.

Recipe: Braised Escarole with White Beans

1 head escarole, dark green outer leaves discarded, inner leaves separated and trimmed of dark green tops
1/4 cup good extra-virgin olive oil
1 or 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 or 2 cups cooked white beans with some of their cooking liquid or a small ladleful of water (recipe follows)
Salt and pepper

Basic Cooked Dried Beans
2 cups dried beans, unsoaked or soaked for 4 hours or overnight
1 or 2 cloves garlic
1 branch fresh thyme, optional
2 bay leaves
Salt

For the beans: Drain the beans and put them into a medium, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover them with cold water by 2 inches or so. Add the garlic, thyme, if using, and bay leaves. Bring the beans just to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and very gently simmer them until they are swollen and tender, 30–90 minutes (or more), depending on the freshness of the dried beans. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in a generous pinch of salt. Let the beans cool to just warm or to room temperature in the cooking liquid. (The beans will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.)

For the escarole: Wash the escarole leaves well and shake off some of the water. Put the olive oil and garlic into a large nonreactive skillet and warm over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the escarole and cook briefly, turning the leaves as they begin to wilt. Add the beans and their cooking liquid or water, season with salt and pepper, and braise just until the beans are warmed through and the escarole is still bright and colorful, 3–5 minutes.

Recipe: Curried Sheet Pan Broccoli With Peanuts & Tahini

From 101 Cookbooks

1 teaspoon curry powder
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon
1 head of broccoli, broccolini, or piracicaba, cut into bite-sized florets
salt and pepper
1/4 cup golden raisins,
1/2 cup toasted peanuts
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup coarsely chopped basil (or use your cilantro!)
1/4 cup tahini, almond butter, or peanut butter

 

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine the spice blend with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large bowl. Add the zest of the lemon and the broccoli, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, arrange the florets on a baking sheet in a single layer, and roast for 7-10 minutes, or until the broccoli starts to take on a bit of color. Add the raisins, toss with a spatula, and continue roasting until the broccoli is deeply golden and the fruit has plumped, another 5-10 minutes or so.

Recipe: Lemon & Ginger Kale Chips

From Serious Eats

1 bunch (about 7 ounces) kale, rinsed and well dried
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or flaky or coarse sea salt

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set 2 oven racks at the centermost positions.

Trim the tough stems from the kale leaves. Cut larger leaves crosswise into 3- to 4-inch portions; smaller leaves can be baked as is. Put the kale in a large bowl, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the leaves, and toss well with your hands to evenly coat the leaves with oil. The curlier the leaves, the more you’ll want to use your fingers to rub a bit of oil into the nooks and crannies. Just a light gloss of oil is the goal; drizzle another teaspoon or two over if needed, but avoid excessive oil. Arrange the kale pieces on the prepared baking sheets, the leaves touching each other as little as possible.

Combine the lemon zest, ginger, and salt in a small bowl and use your fingers to rub the ingredients together well. (Be sure to do this at the last minute.) Sprinkle the salt mixture over the kale leaves.

Bake for 10 minutes. Switch the baking sheets and continue baking until the leaves are dry and rigid but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes longer. If some leaves at the outer edges of the baking sheets are ready earlier, transfer them to a wire rack and continue baking the remaining leaves for a few minutes.

Use a metal spatula to transfer the leaves to a wire rack to cool. Serve on a platter or in a broad shallow bowl. The kale chips are best on the day they are made but can be stored for up to 1 day in an airtight container.
