Cassolita (Winter Squash With Caramelized Onions)
This recipe was brought to The Times by Joan Nathan and was featured in her cookbook "Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France." Here, caramelized onions, cinnamon, raisins and toasted almonds are tossed with mashed winter squash (butternut, calabaza or kabocha work well) for a sophisticated and lightly-sweet cold weather side dish.
Garbanzo Chickpea Gravy
I used this recipe to liven up my tofu and veggies. Twenty years later, I am no longer meat-free, but I still turn to this lip-smacking chickpea gravy.
What to do when served bad red wine...
So I learned this trick from a friend of mine, McKenzie. I didn't believe it until I tried it. We leave in DC, the land of fundraisers and politics. Most fundraisers and political events have an open bar but the wine can be a challenge to get down. This is a fool proof trick...
Moroccan-Style Almond Milk with Orange Blossom Water & Cinnamon
Refreshing & Sweet Moroccan style Almond Milk infused w/Orange Blossom Water is a delicious & healthy drink which is a favorite in Morocco. I remember drinking this refreshing drink on a hot afternoon in Fes, Morocco this past June!
Strawberry Preserves: for when you feel like having magic (or a delicious memory) for breakfast
When I was 8 we met my mother's Aunt Frances for brunch at a French restaurant. Aunt Frances was a very distinguished woman who never seemed to age in all of her 90-something years. She would offer you a cocktail upon entering her Upper East Side apartment (even if it was barely 11 am) and she wore her black hair in a chignon until the end. I still remember that brunch-- eating a hot baguette spread with butter and strawberry jam with my chin barely above the crumb covered white tablecloth. It tasted like magic-- and somehow this simple combination of flavors and textures continues to taste like magic even now.
Carrot Fries
My boys love these carrot fries hot out of the oven. I like baking them as it eliminates the messy splattering that results from the typical preparation of French fries --frying. http://www.elanaspantry.com/carrot-french-fries/
Crispy Ginger Tamari Cashews
This recipe has you brine raw Cashews in a solution of Tamari and fresh ginger, and then cook -- well, actually you are dehydrating -- them in a slow oven.
mummy’s yummy tomato salad
This is an incredibly simple recipe. Almost child’s play. All you really need is perfectly-ripe, but firm and juicy tomatoes at room temperature — they are the star ingredient here. My mom has been making these ever since we were children. And I have never had this exact combination anywhere else. It's an excellent starter on a warm summer evening. You can also serve it over a piece of toasted bread in the spirit of a bruschetta. The bread soaks the briny solution oozing out of the tomatoes and tastes heavenly!
Trick-or-Treat-tini
This may look like a trick, but one sip and you will see that it is a TREAT! A midori cocktail is the first thing that popped in my mind when this week’s theme was announced – it is the perfect wicked witch green! This is what the adults at my house will be drinking on Halloween. Note: The black lava sea salt contains activated charcoal, which has a very dramatic visual effect against the fluorescent green of the midori. I will post a photo soon.

Oven Roasted Broccoli
My boys inhale this naturally gluten free roasted broccoli recipe whenever I make it. Their friend has been known to eat the entire tray just before dinner.
Apple cider cocktail
This drink was inspired by an Apple Cider martini I sampled at our local farmers market and the tradition of a neighbor who offers hot spiked cider to parents of trick or treaters. I tried mixing cold sweet cider with vodka, rum or bourbon. All were good but I liked the Maker's Mark bourbon version best. I used a little cinnamon syrup to add extra sweetness and spice.
Quinoa Oat Apple Crumble
Apple crumbles can be tricky, because the apples tend to dry out in the oven. The way to avoid this problem is to bake them until thoroughly softened before you finish them with the crumble.
Kale Creamsicle
This dark green, luscious Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Kale Creamsicle Shake is my go to drink when I need greens and a little protein pick me up. http://www.elanaspantry.com/kale-creamsicle/
Grilled Peaches
Yes, this recipe is simple. And yes, it's delicious because it's simple. Grilled peaches are an absolute delight come summer each year.
Steamed Cauliflower with EVOO and Lemon Juice
This is a super-simple, healthy way to eat a lovely vegetable. My mother is from Spain, and this is how she always prepared cauliflower. When we moved to the States and I saw the gloppy, cheese-covered version of how cauliflower is served in most American households, I was slightly horrified.... My children love this dish, it takes just minutes to make and it goes with just about everything....
Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich
This is my favorite sandwich to take for my lunch! I guess it is a comfort food, but it's so easy to make. I think I could eat this for every meal if I had to.
Plum and Star Anise Jam
In the summer, I become a compulsive fruit buyer. As I walk through the Greenmarket, the bursting berries and the plump peaches erase any memory that there's already a bowl full of fruit sitting at home. So then I end up with more plums (and nectarines and tomatoes) than I can reasonably eat while they're still at their peak. This small-batch recipe comes from my first-ever attempt to make jam when I was staring down an avalanche of plums recently. There weren't enough to justify going through the entire preserving process, though, so the batch is small. It derives its sweetness more from the fruit than from sugar, so it isn't too cloying. My favorite ways to enjoy the jam: mixed into plain yogurt and on top of toasted baguette spread with chèvre.
Radish and Cress Side
This is a homage to every Central and South American co-worker I ever had the privilege of working with in a kitchen. To the things they taught me about their food, culture and heritage from papusas to tamales to lorca, the food is and will always be kick ass. The one thing I learned early on is food south of the American border is more often than not, not served with refried beans and rice. Thank god! This is a salad and the variations are infinite, where the greens maybe different but the radishes are the anchor. You could use cabbage, wilted with a little salt for an hour or so or any peppery green. Make that enchilada or tamale pie and serve this as the side, you won't regret it, trust me.
Deep Red Bells
I missed the submission deadline for the red pepper contest as I was catering to my sick kitty, but I figured I'd share my best red bell pepper recipe here anyway. As soon as peppers start flooding the farmers' market in late summer, I start making batches of these to use on sandwiches, salads, or crostini. They're ridiculously simple, with just a few ingredients, so it's essential to start with great fresh peppers that are perfectly ripe. (And yes, I was thinking of the Neko Case song when I came up with the name for this recipe :) )
Grilled Mushrooms in Foil Packets
If you like to grill foods at a picnic, here's a great vegetarian option. Prepare these packets at home, then pack them, ready to grill, in your picnic basket. The recipe is inspired by one in Patricia Wells's cookbook "Vegetable Harvest.” You can make this with cultivated or wild mushrooms.
Onion and Red Pepper Confit
I always look forward to spring when Vidalia onions are in season. I like to saute them in a little oil and sometimes butter until they are brown, soft, and sweet. In this recipe, I added chopped garlic and roasted red peppers, cut to about the same size as the onions. The longer you cook this, the better it gets. Tonight I served it over some simply grilled fish. (local fresh-caught fluke, purchased directly from the fisherman at the farmers' market yesterday...amazing.) It's good as a topping for crostini--brush the sliced bread with a little oilve oil, toast it, layer on some fresh ricotta cheese, and put this on top. It can be added to pasta sauce, used as a filling for an omelet, a topping for hamburger, or served with roast potatoes. - drbabs
Luscious Pickled Peppers
I love pickled peppers and didn't even realize how much I loved them until I started to make them for my Farmer's Market customers. This recipe is loosely based on one from Linda Ziedrich in her Joy of Pickling book. I can my peppers to make them shelf stable, but you can easily keep them in the fridge if you don't care to water bath can them. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
