I just love Wilted Greens! Beautiful kale, spinach, and radicchio are wilted down, some onions and Spanish black radishes are sautéed, then it’s all topped with crispy bacon and crunchy almonds. A perfect side dish!
Ingredients
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1-2 T garlic infused (or regular) olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced or chopped
  • 1/2 C black spanish radish (or other kind of radish), peeled and grated
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 1 t maple syrup
  • 1 t dijon mustard
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • pinch nutmeg
  • pinch cayenne
  • 3 C spinach, roughly chopped or torn (could also use swiss chard, collard greens, beet greens, or any other greens you love)
  • 3 C kale, roughly chopped or torn (any kind of kale)
  • 1 1/2 C radicchio, chopped
  • 1/4 C roasted almonds, roughly chopped (for topping)
Instructions
  1. Place bacon in cold pan, cook until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to drain.
  2. Either discard bacon grease from pan and add 2 T olive oil, or leave about 1 T bacon grease and add 1 T olive oil. Heat and add onion and radish. Cook 3-5 minutes, or until softened, over medium heat.
  3. Remove stems from greens, wash well, and dry.
  4. Add vinegar, maple syrup, dijon, and seasonings to the onion pan. Stir, then add all the radicchio and some of the greens, wilting down and tossing, then adding more greens and repeating until they are all gone. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
  5. Once all greens are wilted, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve topped with bacon and almonds.

Beet and Beef Borscht

Beet and Beef Borscht

Recipe Type: Soup, Main, Dinner, Appetizer, Side
Cuisine: Ukrainian, Russian
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6-8
Hearty and warm, this Borscht is a family favorite of ours.
Ingredients
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 lb. chuck roast, cut into smallish cubes
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 small beets, peeled and chopped
  • 4-6 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 daikon radish, chopped
  • 3 potatoes, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1-2 T fresh lemon juice
  • 10-12 C chicken or vegetable stock (or mixture of both) (use more or less depending on how thick you want the soup)
  • 2 t salt (or to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream (for topping)
Instructions
  1. Pat each piece of beef dry with a paper towel (this helps it to brown better – this step can be skipped if you’re short on time). Heat large soup pot. Add olive oil. When oil is hot, add beef, being sure not to over-crowd the pan. Cook, over medium heat, until beef is browned, about 10 minutes or so. Remove beef from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add veggies and salt and pepper to soup pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are getting tender.
  3. Add beef and stock and bring up to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce to a low boil or a simmer, and cook 1-2 hours (until veggies are tender), adding more stock or water if it gets too thick.
  4. Add lemon juice. Taste and add more salt if desired.
  5. Serve topped with a dolup of yogurt.
Notes

I serve this with warm rolls or bread, with butter. Perfect for dipping into the soup.

Notes
It would be fun to serve this stew in a hollowed out pumpkin or squash!

My go-to green salad. Top it with your favorites and it’s perfect alongside almost any dish!
Ingredients
  • 1 head lettuce (approx.)
  • 15 almonds, chopped
  • 15 cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 6 roasted figs, sliced
  • Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
Instructions
  1. Toss sliced figs with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, or until figs are caramelized and slightly crispy on one side.
  2. Wash and tear lettuce. Top with figs, almonds, tomatoes, and dressing.
Notes

Also yummy in a salad (maybe not all at the same time though): Grated carrot, grated radish, croutons, squash, apples, raisins, pears, peaches, plums, kale, spinach, cucumber, basil, corn, bell pepper, cheese… (obviously to keep it GF the croutons need to be GF, and to keep it vegan, use a vegan cheese or omit it). 🙂
