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.

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...

Curried Chicken Soup

      I made this soup so often in the 1990s, but frankly had forgotten about it.   Flipping through this cookbook, I found this recipe and was flooded with memories. When I was in grad school, this soup was my "feeling decadent" food and reminded me of something people might eat after hitting the slopes -- a thing I have never done. A few decades long, and with a lot more experience with cooking, I realize that this is basically a chicken curry with a thin sauce and the rice already in the meal -- but don't let that in any way discourage you! It's delicious as is and is a wonderful take on what is otherwise chicken and rice soup. I have become a fan of using rotisserie chickens, especially during the pandemic. They are so cheap, and I can use the meat in a soup like this on the day-of grocery shopping, and, crunch the bones down for the freezer for making stock in the future. Of course, this soup can be made with a fresh chicken, but I have modified the recipe bel...

Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa

  This was very very good. The soup itself was flavorful and would have been enough as a dinner soup. But adding the dumplings converted this soup into an entree. The couscous addition in the batter makes the dumplings pretty foolproof -- no real concern that they'll still be raw because most of the bulk is couscous, which was already cooked. I opted to cook only enough dumplings as we needed that night. We will have to make future dumplings "on demand" as we eat this as leftovers. Spicy Bulgarian Tomato Dumpling Soup - Domatene Supa Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant Soup 1 onion , diced 4 cloves garlic , minced 3 T olive oil 6 c tomatoes , chopped (fresh or canned and drained) 2 tsp chili powder 2 T flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 4 c stock Dumplings 2 T butter , room temperature 2 eggs , separated 1/4 c couscous 1/4 c boiling water 3/4 c flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 T dill weed , fresh (or 1 tsp dried) 1/3 c milk or stock In medium pot, sa...
