Optional to Serve

Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-10 minutes until softened and beginning to lightly brown. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and chillis to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Next, trim the green pepper sides away from the seeds and cut into 1 inch dice. Add the diced green pepper and curry powder to the pan. 

Peel and dice the potato into small cubes and add to the pan along with the broth, coconut milk, and the chickpeas that have been drained and rinsed.. 

Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the potato is fork tender and cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).

Meanwhile, remove stems from the kale and finely chop. Once the potato has cooked through add the chopped kale and peanut butter. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the kale has softened. 

Season with salt and pepper. If the mixture gets too thick you can thin it out with more broth or coconut milk. Serve with brown rice. Option to garnish with peanuts. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Instructions

In a pot over medium high heat, add olive oil and diced veggies. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables have begun to soften and brown slightly. Next, add the minced garlic and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir while scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the vegetables are tender. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper. At this point you can leave the sauce as is, OR you can puree ⅓ of it using an immersion blender (I like to keep some of it rustic). Serve this with roasted eggplant, spaghetti squash, or roasted zucchini.

For kids, serve with pasta for kids. Optional to top the dish with grated parmesan or mozzarella.

Charred Eggplant Stacks Stuffed with Barley, Goat Cheese, & Lemon Arugula Pesto

Servings

4

Ingredients

For the Arugula Pesto
For the Eggplant
For the Barley
For the Salad

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line 2 sheet trays with parchment paper. Roughly peel the eggplant then thinly slice it into ¼ inch thick rounds. Place the rounds on the parchment paper and season both sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes then flip. Bake the second side for about an additional 20 minutes, or until both sides are lightly brown and tender.

For the Barley

Add 1 cup of barley with 2-2.5 cups of liquid (I like chicken broth but you can use water) to a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has just been absorbed. Season with salt and pepper and a tbsp of olive oil.

For the Pesto

Add all of the ingredients, besides the oil to a blender and pulse. Stream in the olive oil until the mixture resembles a smooth sauce.

To Assemble

Layer an eggplant slice with barley and repeat. Garnish with goat cheese and a drizzle of the pesto.

On the side, mix together some extra arugula and pesto with sliced avocado and nut of choice. Enjoy!

Ingredients

For the Stir Fried Cauliflower "Rice"
For the Peanut Sauce

Instructions

Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Add the diced pepper and onion and cook for 10-15 minutes until softened and browning. Add 1 clove of garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the bag of cauliflower rice and cook until thawed (about 5 minutes).

While the cauliflower rice is cooking, make the sauce. Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl and taste for seasoning.

After the cauliflower rice has cooked, add enough of the peanut sauce to coat the cauliflower rice. 

From here, if you’re feeling lazy, you can add 2 eggs right into the pot and stir (like stir fried rice). Alternatively, you can heat a tsp of oil in a fry pan and fry an egg to serve on top of each serving. To serve, plate the cauliflower rice mixture in a bowl. Top with the fried egg and optional garnish of peanuts and scallion. Enjoy!

Instructions

For the Fish

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the fish topping. Pulse until the mixture is combined and resembles coarse sand.

Meanwhile, prepare the fish. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Place the thawed fish filets on the parchment paper and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

With your hands, press a thick layer of the herb/walnut mixture over each fish filet (about 1/2-1 inch high).

Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness. You know it is done when the fish turns from opaque to white.

For the Salad

Add the dressing ingredients into the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste for seasoning.

Meanwhile, prepare the kale. Wash gently with water, pat dry, and finely chop into thin strips.

Toss the kale in a salad bowl with enough dressing to coat.

Top with avocado, extra nuts, and goat cheese. Enjoy!
