Roasted Vegetable Soup

Recipe Type: Soup, Main, Dinner, Lunch, Appetizer, Vegetarian
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 butternut squash (or winter squash), quartered
  • 1 yam (sweet potato), quartered
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 head garlic, top sliced off
  • 1 watermelon radish (or 1/4 Korean daikon radish), quartered
  • 1 rutabaga (or 1 large turnip), peeled, if desired, cut in 6 pieces
  • 2 T butter
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1-2 t salt
  • pinch pepper
  • pinch cayenne
  • pinch nutmeg
  • pinch ginger
  • 1 C milk
  • 5 C water (or vegetable stock)
  • 1 t maple syrup
  • 2 t lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar)
  • croutons, for topping
  • parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Drizzle garlic with olive oil and wrap in foil. Toss remaining veggies with olive oil. Place on two baking sheets and roast (flipping once partway through, if desired), for 60-75 minutes (radish, garlic, yams, onion, and rutabaga may take the lesser amount of time). Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Scrape squash pulp from skin, squeeze garlic from skin.
  2. Heat soup pot. Add butter and brown (watch it so it doesn’t burn). Add veggies to browned butter, along with olive oil, and seasonings. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add water and bring to a boil. Turn heat off, add milk, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend with hand blender (or in a regular blender – be sure to remove the plug from the lid and cover with a clean towel) until smooth. Add more water if it’s too thick. Taste, adjust seasoning if desired. Return to heat and cook a few minutes more, but don’t boil.
  4. Serve topped with croutons (cubed bread, tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, baked at 350F for 10-15 minutes).

Shepherd’s Pie with Mustard Greens

Written by , Posted in Baking, Beef, Cheese, Dinner, Gluten Free, Leftovers, Main Dishes, Meat, Potatoes, Vegetables

 

Shepherd’s Pie with Mustard Greens
Recipe Type: Main, Dinner, Meat, Beef, Comfort Food
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 1-2 T olive oil
  • 1 1/2 C broccoli raab, chopped
  • 3/4 C Korean daikon radish, diced or chopped
  • 3 mustard green leaves, chopped
  • 2 carrots (1 C), chopped
  • 1 C cabbage, chopped
  • 4-5 cloves roasted garlic*, mashed
  • 1/2 t chili powder
  • pinch cayenne
  • pinch cumin
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1/2 t smoked paprika (plus more for topping)
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar
  • 1 T cornstarch
  • 1 t dijon mustard
  • 1 to 1 1/4 C water
  • 4-5 C mashed potatoes (I use leftovers)
  • 1/2 to 1 C cheese, grated (creamy jack and cheddar)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. In an ovenproof skillet, cook beef. Drain (wipe out pan, if desired) and set aside. Add olive oil to skillet and let it get hot. Add all veggies and seasonings except mustard greens and garlic. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
  2. Whisk cornstarch with water, dijon, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Pour over veggies. Stir in beef and mustard greens, and cook for 10 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. If the liquid evaporates too much, add more water.
  3. Remove from heat. Taste, and adjust seasonings if needed. Spread the meat and veggies evenly in the pan (if you weren’t cooking in an oven safe skillet, now’s the time to transfer to a greased, ovenproof dish.) Cover meat mixture with mashed potatoes. Top with cheese and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
  4. Bake at 350F until the potatoes are hot (165F) and cheese is melted. With fresh, hot mashed potatoes, it should only be 10-15 minutes. With cold potatoes, it could be about 30-40 minutes (at least it was for me!).
Notes
Individual pies would also be a fun idea, especially for a dinner party! Great with a simple Green Salad, or Coleslaw. * To roast garlic: Slice the top off a head of garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake at 350F for 45-60 minutes. Once it’s cool, squeeze garlic from skin.
