Tomato and Mushroom Salad with Parsley Vinaigrette

This Tomato and Mushroom Salad with Parsley Vinaigrette is a recipe from my childhood. It is zesty, fresh, clean, and easy as can be! My mom used to make it when we would have company, as part of a multitude of other side dishes. I’ve been thinking about this dish a lot lately and wanted to recreate it. Unfortunately, my mom would not follow a recipe, so here I was improvising. After a few versions, I finally nailed it.

Sun Dried Tomato and Brazil Nut Dip

Sun-Dried Tomato and Brazil Nut Dip
Sun-Dried Tomato and Brazil Nut Dip

This Sun Dried Tomato and Brazil Nut Dip is everything I was looking for to eat with crackers or jicama batons. It is raw, assuming your tomatoes were actually sun dried, and it has a great texture. The inspiration came when my drum instructor shared some recipes from a time when she was raw. I modified to my liking and here it is. The Brazil nuts are high in selenium, an essential nutrient, and 37% of the fats in Brazil nuts are polyunsaturated fatty acids, a type of fat that has been shown to benefit heart health. I’ve made this recipe a bunch of times already, because it’s that good. You can double the ingredients easily. Try this recipe as a dip, or use it as a topping for zucchini noodles.

Eggplant and Tomato Confit
Eggplant and Tomato Confit

I first tried this Eggplant and Tomato Confit recipe last year and I can’t stop making it. It’s the type of things that’s often available in my fridge, for busy weeknights, or even for company. I served this at the last Livity Gardens Cooking Lab, and the guests made sure I would share the recipe. It is from a French Canadian recipe site, K pour Katrine. Katrine is very good at offering ideas for plant-based and gluten-free meals. The recipes are in French, however, so I took the liberty of adapting it to my kitchen and translating it for you, beautiful people.

Creamy Tomato Lentil Soup

  • Author: Karine K

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 3 carrots, in small dices
  • 1 medium onion, in small dices
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12” piece of fresh turmeric, pounded
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • 3 ounces tomato paste (1/2 small can)
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 34 cups vegetable broth (depending how thick you want the soup)
  • 1 cup sprouted lentils (red lentils would also work here, but might need to cook slightly longer)
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 2 cups greens (kale, spinach, Swiss chard) (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek (optional)

Instructions

In a soup pot, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, turmeric, bay leaf, and thyme, and stir well. Add generous pinches of salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and golden, about 15 minutes. If the vegetables stick to the bottom, lower the heat a little. You want everything nice and caramelized, but not burnt.

Add the tomato paste and mix everything well. Let the tomato paste cook for a good 5-6 minutes, stirring most of the time. You want the tomato paste to become a rich, dark red in color and have a sweet aroma.

Add the coconut milk, lower the heat and scratch the bottom of the pan nicely. Let the base of the soup become creamy and luscious, while simmering slowly for 3 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and the lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat. If using, add the 2 cups of greens and sambal oelek, and stir well.

Soupe crรฉmeuse aux tomates et lentilles

Les journรฉes sont courtes, les nuits sont froides. Mais oui, c’est l’hiver, mรชme en Arizona.

Blague ร  part, cette soupe vous rรฉchauffera les os. Elle n’est pas piquante, ce qui fait que les enfants en redemandent. Je la sert sur du riz vapeur pour eux. Je profite pendant ce temps de ma portion adulte, servie sur un lit d’รฉpinards ou de kale du jardin.

Grape or Cherry Tomato Marinara

Grape or Cherry Tomato Marinara
Grape or Cherry Tomato Marinara

The trick for this Grape or Cherry Marinara is to get the very best and sweetest grape or cherry tomatoes you can find. I try to get mine at the farmerโ€™s market, and oh my! This makes a tomato sauce that tastes like candy. I also put a ton of garlic in my marinara, because garlic is my thing. You can always cut on some of the garlic and add some heat too with fresh chile or red pepper flakes. The goal is to let it simmer gently, for a while. Youโ€™ll end up with a very sweet and rich sauce. And you’ll end up eating it with a spoon, without pasta!

Grape or Cherry Tomato Marinara

  • Author: Karine K

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup good olive oil
  • Grape tomatoes (I get the equivalent of 3 pints from the farmerโ€™s market)
  • 3/4 of a whole head of garlic (minced)
  • Fresh basil, torn, to taste
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In large skillet (with a lid), heat up the oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and mix well to coat all the tomatoes. Add half of the garlic and some basil sprigs, and mix well. Put the lid on, reduced the heat to low and let simmer gently until the tomatoes start to burst open, maybe 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the tomatoes skin.

Taste and adjust for salt and pepper, and continue simmering, uncovered, until the sauce is thick and sweet, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Enjoy with your favorite pasta or zucchini noodles. Bon appรฉtit!

Notes

I like my sauce chunky, but feel free to use an immersion blender to smooth out the texture and get rid of any pieces of tomato skin left behind.
