Easy and tasty veggie curry dish. Easy to create variations by changing veggies, and ingredients are common enough to whip up most any night. Not spicy (although I'm sure it would be easy to ramp it up), so perfect for families with kids. Doubling chickpeas and tomatoes (and little else), I was able to stretch this to feed four adults and 4 kids (with leftovers).
Similar in thought to the recipe in SNE, I went with this one because of the addition of garlic. We ate them this time around on flatbread but they would be amazing on pizza with fresh ricotta.
Wonderful winter stew. I used up that CSA pumpkin that was kicking around my kitchen, and my kids liked it because it wasn't as spicy as some of the curries we've been trying lately (although still flavorful). I subbed pureed canned roasted tomatoes for the roasted tomato sauce. I felt like it needed some more garnishing, so we topped with sour cream/plain yogurt and a couple salted tortilla or pita chips. I think some toasted pumpkin seeds or almonds might be a good garnish, too.
I made this with lemon-pepper pasta, but I think that was a mistake: the strong pasta flavor overpowered the subtle flavors of the fennel. But this was delicious, and as fennel is a common CSA veggie, I think we will be making it again (esp. because my daughter loved it). Quick and easy.
This deceptively simple list of ingredients comes together into a delicious and filling meal. I used multi colored quinoa which I thought looked particularly nice and the toasted pine nuts on top were the perfect finishing touch.
Very hardy stew/soup. I didn't think it was worth cooking my own beans. Serving with garlic-rubbed bread is essential as it adds just a small garlic flavor that complements the soup perfectly.
I wrapped this in a tortilla with a big handful of pea sprouts b/c I didn't have any pita and was too lazy to make the suggested flatbread. Also subbed a lime for the orange zest & juice. Cooked my own chickpeas but this would practically make itself if you used canned as the recipe is written. So delicious! I'd have a second one but now I'm out of tortillas too.
Quick and easy. Everyone in the family loved these! I substituted sweet potato for the swede (aka rutabaga), and used frozen pastry (I had to change the shape of them because of this, but still tasted great). I also subbed a light shake of curry powder for the powdered vegetable bouillon (which I didn't have). You could probably make these vegan with a few subs (for butter in mixture and using a vegan pastry) and by leaving out optional cheese. Reheated well for an afternoon snack the next day.
I was skeptical as I tasted it while cooking ("Get ready for a plain but healthy dinner," I called out in warning to my family). But this pulled together nicely at the end into a warm, filling, and satisfying winter meal. I subbed leeks and shallots I had on hand for the onions, but it is the parmesan and nutmeg that really make this nutty risotto-like dish work. Entire family approved; this one will be repeated at our winter table. I used par-cooked(?) farro from Trader Joe's that cooked up a bit faster than the recipe stated--still enough time for sweet potato (subbed for Swede) to cook.
