Kale Crisps

Kale is delicious! But sometimes, it comes in quicker than you can eat it. I remembered having sampled kale crisps at The Daily Juice several months ago, and I realized that making it couldn't be all that hard. Indeed, it is simple! And, after about 30 minutes of your time (including baking time), you are rewarded with a lovely bunch of crisp, seasoned kale that is a healthy snack. The sad truth is, this was so addictive that I ate the entire bowlful myself (an entire bunch of kale -- enough for probably 4-6 people) in one sitting.


 Kale Crisps

1 bunch kale
Olive oil (either drizzled from a bottle, or sprayed in a mister)
Seasoning

Wash the kale and let dry. Remove the leaves from the stalks, and tear into bite-sized pieces. Spread out on an ungreased cookie sheet. Spray with olive oil (not too much -- just a fine misting will do). Sprinkle with seasonings -- I used kosher salt and a specialty seasoned salt that is quite spicy; I might recommend red pepper flakes in its place. I've also since read a great suggestion for replacing the olive oil and substituting with Bragg's liquid aminos.

 Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, rotating the pan half-way through. Remove from oven and snack!

I remember tasting the kale chips at Daily Juice with you. I made my own a while back. I overseasoned one batch and they were too salty but the other batch turned out fantastic.

Cauliflower and Arugula Soup with Tibetan Flatbread

Because the weather is chilly, and because I had a bag of arugula from the last farm box taunting me, only to be compounded by a fresh bag of arugula from the recent farm box, I decided to try this soup I found from a blog associated with a California-based CSA, Eat Outside the Box . Cauliflower and Arugula Soup Eat Outside the Box farm blog 1 head cauliflower 1 red or white onion, peeled and chopped 3/4 lb zucchini, peeled and chopped 1/4 lb arugula 15 oz stock 15 oz water 1 T olive oil salt and pepper Parmesan cheese, grated First, let me state how important it is to wash your arugula before using it. I don't know about you, but sometimes I get lazy and rely on the "well, if it doesn't kill me, it'll just make me stronger" approach to washing my foods and vegetables. This laziness is only enhanced when the food I'm considering has come from an organic farm. But leaving aside all the various things that can get on the food

Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles

I love this dish so much that I can barely stand it. Delicious the night it was made, and fantastic as leftovers throughout the week. Mayocoba beans are easily replaced -- try pintos, if you can't find mayocobas. Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles Baptism of Fire 3-4 green chiles, roasted and chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 T lard or olive oil 1/2 tsp oregano 1 tsp cumin pepper 1 c mayocoba beans, dry 3 c water 1 tsp salt Cook the green chiles, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, and black pepper in the fat until the onions begin to caramelize. Add the water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the beans sit, uncovered, for an hour. You may drain the water to remove some of the slightly indigestible sugars that cause gassiness. If you decide to drain them, add enough water back into the pot to cover the beans with about 2" of water above the beans for cooking.  Bring the beans back to a boil and cook, until tender. This will take

Chilled Soba Noodles with Cucumber, Snow Peas, and Radishes

  We destroyed these. In a good way. It's a lovely-to-look-at dish, chock full of vegetables. More so than I had anticipated, and more so than most soba noodle dishes I've made in the past. We absolutely gobbled this up! Served here with a five-spice chicken and smashed cucumbers.  The original calls for nori. We don't love nori so left it out. Maybe we are missing a part of the experience, but even without it, this was delicious.  Chilled Soba Noodles with Cucumber, Snow Peas, and Radishes Cook's Illustrated 8 oz soba noodles 3 T white miso paste 3 T mirin 2 T toasted sesame oil 1 T sesame seeds 1 tsp ginger, grated 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1/3 English cucumber, quartered lengthwise, seeded, sliced thin 4 oz snow peas, strings removed, cut lengthwise into matchsticks 4 radishes, trimmed, halved, sliced thin into half-moons 3 scallions, sliced thin Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot.
