Roasted Rice Cakes with Scallion Oil
After a recent trip to China, I've been obsessed with crispy scallions on noodles, and have been inspired by a recipe from Fuchsia Dunlap's Every Grain of Rice. For this recipe, I experimented with using scallion-scented oil to roast fresh cylindrical rice cakes, a la David Chang's instructions in Momofuku. I can highly recommend this combo with kimchi and a fried egg.
Kale Salad Lyonnaise
Recently when my parents were visiting, we got to reminiscing about one period in my youth, following a family trip to Paris, when all my father wanted to eat was frisee with lardons and poached eggs: Salad Lyonnaise. Now my parents are mostly vegetarian and fond of kale salads, so I made a version for them which substituted crispy fried shallots for the lardons and used the shallot-scented oil in a hot vinaigrette to coat the kale leaves. The kale was a perfect foil for the runny egg yokes and the crispy fried shallots added a wonderfully deep, caramelized flavor that I liked even better than bacon.
Salad of Grilled Kohlrabi and Smoked Trout
I love kohlrabi and I recently experimented with grilling it with sliced lemon -- it made a very tasty recipe. But the real epiphany came the next morning.
Scottish Oatmeal Breakfast with Teff Grain and Flax Seeds
This is a breakfast I created to use Scottish oats, which are whole oat groats that have been flattened in a slow grinding process, producing something like rolled oats, but retaining all the nutritional value of the whole grain. They take longer to cook than rolled oats but would get too mushy if cooked overnight in a slow cooker like steel cut oats. To make these work for a quick weekday breakfast, I was inspired by a recipe from Heidi Swanson of toasting rolled cereal the evening before. I found that toasting these in some butter and then soaking them in boiling water made them easy to finish off the next morning. Then I experimented with other grains and liked including some nutty teff grain for body and flax seeds for texture. I've also made this with a mixture of rolled and steel cut oats, and I've swapped in chia seeds for the teff grain, all with good results. This hot cereal is delicious with lots of different toppings. I suggest dried apricots, hazelnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. Will including the nutritional powerhouse of teff grain and superfood of flax seeds in your daily breakfast bring you health and superhuman powers? Maybe not. But taking the extra few minutes in the evening to start a warm bowl of oatmeal for the following morning, and infusing your house with the fragrance of buttery, toasted grains in the process, will make you feel cared for, which apparently accounts for a great deal of the healing power of placebos. A good breakfast when you'd like a little extra insurance for getting through a demanding day.
Browned Butter Baby Turnips
Baby Turnips don't require any peeling because their skins are tender, so for this recipe you just need to trip their tops and tails, and let them saute.
Turnip Green Gomae
I love the Japanese appetizer recipe of Turnip Greens, with its nutty, sweet, and salty sauce coating just-blanched greens. You can make it with any greens.
