✨This week’s recipes✨
All the Alliums! 🧅🧄
You got Potatoes, you got Leeks, now you have to make Potato Leek soup! Hearty but light enough for lunch, this Classic recipe looks smooth and delicious while this "Rustic" one leaves pieces of veggies for a texturally interesting experience. So good!
These Braised Leeks with Walnuts sound amazingly good. I wish I had known about this festive but simple recipe for my Passover dinner. We've got the Dijon you'll need in the add ons, so make sure to grab some
How incredible do Scallion Pancakes with Chili-Ginger dipping sauce sound for a Spring-y snack?! I'm always plugging this hack when we feature scallions, but make sure you regrow your scallions for an infinite supply. It's like magic!
You can use any or all of your leeks, garlic, scallions, and onion in this Green Garlic Rubbed Roast Chicken for a garlicky, lemony treat. You already know that you should grab a whole Deep Roots chicken to make the most of this recipe!
Butternut Dreams
Ooh, check out this super versatile, "Fridge Clean Out", Butternut Squash Hot Pot. As the link says, "the ingredients listed in the recipe are merely suggestions," so that you can use practically anything from your bag or leftover in your fridge to make this light and delicious meal.
A Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart is an absolute showstopper. It's a gorgeous and delicious way to spotlight your butternut. Make sure to give your onions plenty of time to caramelize for a perfectly sweet bite!
I love the idea of Butternut Shakshuka, which will also give your plum tomatoes some love! The eggs make this one filling enough that you can eat it any time of day: you'll find me making this one breakfast, lunch and dinner! Also, I'm totally sold by this review from the recipe:
"I partied harder than intended last night and when I woke up with the hangover of the century I decided that I must have this shakshouka or I would certainly die."
Cauli Me By Your Name
For a complex ("spicy, sweet, bitter, and salty"), but still simple to make, side, check out a Spice-Roasted Cauliflower with Pine Nuts & Tahini Drizzle.
Cauliflower rice may never be real rice, but I think it can stand on its own as an awesome veggie dish. Just blitz up your cauliflower in the food processor, then steam or panfry for a great side ready to be seasoned! For inspo, see this Bacon and Egg Fried Cauli Rice. The lightness of the cauliflower sounds like a perfect base to really enjoy the rich toppings!
For a super filling cauli main, look to this General Tso's Cauliflower.
Or, this Korean Fried Cauliflower looks absolutely unreal (though definitely a bit time consuming).
