History suggests that this main course dish was designed by a French Chef in the employ of a wealthy Russian family in the 1890’s. It is thought that the thin strips of meat were part of the meal design because the head of the household had bad teeth. The guy with bad teeth is long gone but this recipe is a classic.
We’re adding a German version of Red Cabbage or Rotkohl (pronounced “wrote coal”) to round out this meal. Delicious food is one example of how cultures can happily come together.
It’s time to enjoy some greens this week! Wait’ll you see what’s in store this time.
Asian-style lacinato kale with chopped mango and baked tofu with teriyaki sauce is tonight’s fare. A little extra texture is added with bamboo shoots, and it’s served over coconut rice.
This casserole is reminiscent of the traditional cassoulet that came out of southern France around the 14th century. Black beans, instead of white, are used in this recipe to add color contrast. Use a Field Roast or Beyond Meat Italian sausage in this version of the casserole.
You’ll find excellent flavor and interest in this re-engineered version of cassoulet. The meal is finished with a slice of artisan bread and a citrus fruit salad.
It’s Saturday, February 15 and once again time go shopping.
It’s Valentine’s Day! Tonight you’ll prepare a bistro-worthy celebration.
I hope you enjoy this unique and tasty meal. It features plant-based cutlets (or optional chicken) with sour cherry sauce. The cutlets are served with Rosemary Potatoes, savory seared Brussels Sprouts with roasted hazelnuts and smoky tempeh.
I love celebrating any day with a homemade pizza. Hopefully you have saved some red sauce to start the party. If not, it goes together quickly. Maybe you even have crust, or some dough frozen just for this occasion. You can also use a frozen, store-bought crust. Check your salad fixings to be sure you have everything you need to finish the meal. If you’re making homemade crust, throw the dough together 2 hours before you wish to dine.
Chop one cooked Italian turkey sausage link or one browned plant-based sausage. (Field Roast makes an excellent Apple Sausage or Italian Sausage.) This recipe makes one 12” pizza.
