Roasted Purple Cauliflower Steaks With Miso And Turmeric

Roasted Purple Cauliflower Steaks With Miso And Turmeric

by Nanny Bubby

Anything that is purple is a super strong anti-oxidant. This is so good for the prevention of chronic diseases like heart disease, dementia, diabetes and cancer. And the turmeric is completely anti-inflammatory, so good for arthritis and all inflammation. There is an old wives tale that says, “turmeric cures everything in your body, except DEATH!!” I love cooking with it, and love how I feel after I eat it, you will too! Enjoy!

Ojai Pixie Tangerine Salad

Ojai Pixie Tangerine Salad

by Nanny Bubby

There are two growing seasons I adore. One is Hatch Chile season in the fall, and the other is the Ojai Pixie tangerine season in the spring. Both of these delicacies are specific to the area they are grown in, and the taste, tenderness and delicacy that these two items are savored for, cannot be found in any other area of the world that is any better than Hatch, New Mexico or Ojai, California. This salad helps you to savor the wonderful sweet yet tangy taste of these amazing tangerines. (and they are so easy to peel) Nestled with the peppery arugula and sweet beets, along with the salty feta and fat content of the avocado, this is a salad that you will serve over and over during this amazing Harvest season. Remember…. “Spread Love Like Butter”.

For this recipe, Dumplings symbolize wealth for the Lunar New Year. It is absolutely necessary to eat dumpling to prepare and open your heart for wealth. The small addition of sherry yields flavorful meat filling in this popular Asian-style soup for the Lunar New Year. The Chinese definitely know how to “Spread Love Like Butter”. Enjoy!

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients and mix well.Take one won ton wrapper and place it on a working surface in a diamond shape and moisten the edges with water.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle of the won ton skin. Press the skin around the filling to seal it in.
  • Moisten your fingers and wet the bottom corner, then fold the top corner over so that it meets the bottom corner and resembles an inverted triangle. Press down to seal.
  • Then moisten the left corner and bring it over to meet the right corner. Press to seal. A properly made won ton is commonly described as resembling a nurse’s cap.

Braised Hatch Chile Chicken Thighs

Braised Hatch Chile Chicken Thighs

by Nanny Bubby

We LOVE chicken thighs, and we LOVE Hatch Chiles which are only available fresh one time a year, mid-August to mid-September. These are so tender, flavorful and delicious when browned and then braised. You will make them over and over and over again. Remember, when Hatch chiles are not in season just add a 4 oz. jar of the Hatch chilis and you will be A-OK! Enjoy!
For links to SHOP and all ingredients at Melissas.com CLICK HERE

Total Time:

1 hour

Serves:

4

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 6-8 Bone-in skin on chicken thighs
  • 1 sweet onion halved and sliced
  • 2 Hatch chiles roasted skinned and diced small or a 4 oz. can of Hatch chiles
  • 4 cl. minced garlic
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. ground pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp. smoked ground paprika
  • 1 c. chicken stock
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. basil or parsley minced for garnish

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Add to pot, skin side down and cook, without disturbing, until skin has rendered most of the fat and is a nice golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes on medium high heat. (You want it to be very deeply browned so that it stays brown as it braises.)
  • Flip the chicken and continue to cook until browned on the other side, another 5 or so minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate or cutting board, leaving all the fat and golden bits behind. Add minced garlic, the sliced onion and the diced hatch chiles. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic, onion and Hatch chiles are softened and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add back in the chicken thighs and simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened about 20-25 minutes. Garnish with the basil or parsley or both and serve.
  • That’s it! Enjoy!

  • 2 Melissa’s Red Organic Apples
  • 1 package 2 sheets Store Bought Puff Pastry
  • ½ stick Unsalted Butter – melted
  • Cinnamon-Sugar – as needed
  • 1 package Melissa’s Cranberry Clean Snax® - crushed

  • as needed Chocolate Dessert Sauce
  • as needed Fresh Strawberry Halves

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Remove the stems from the apples and cut them in half from top to bottom. Slice the apples thin, in half moon shapes. Using a small ring mold or piping tip, cut the core out off each slice. Place the apple slices on a plate and microwave them for 45 seconds to 1 minute until a little floppy but not mushy.
  • Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thick and, using a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 3-inch wide strips lengthwise. Sprinkle the pastry with your desired amount of cinnamon-sugar. Top the pastry with the apples, extending the arc of the apple slices about 1/8-inch beyond the edge of the pastry, overlapping the slices a bit. Next, top with a little Clean Snax® and raisins. Pull the bottom of the pastry up and over the filling. Semi loosely, roll the pastry up until you get just to the end. Brush the end of the pastry with the egg and press against the roll to seal.
  • Rub ramekins or other small round baking dishes with butter and dust them with the granulated sugar. Brush the tops with some more of the egg. Place the pastry roses in the baking dishes and then directly on the rack in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool. Carefully remove from the dishes.

Black Garlic Flatbread with Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese

Black Garlic Flatbread With Caramelized Onions And Goat Cheese

by Nanny Bubby

I had only seen black garlic in a specialty grocery store a few times. Because of it’s darkish nature I assumed that would mean it was spicier or had MORE of a potent garlic taste. I
t seemed scary so I stayed away from it.
Come to find out, black garlic is sweeter and has more of a molasses flavor when you first bite into it finishing with a strong citrus or slight vinegar taste. It doesn’t give you bad breath after eating and is delicious when eaten raw!!! WHO KNEW?????
It is my new favorite thing. When paired with more exotic recipes it opens up a whole new avenue for one’s palette! Enjoy!! Remember "Spread Love Like Butter"
