Sauteed Greens -a quick simple side dish using your favorite greens (kale, chard, collards) and full of nutrients and flavor!  A healthy, low carb, vegan side dish that can be made in 25 mins. Serve with your favorite protein- fish, chicken, tofu, or even over toast, topped with a poached egg.

Simple Sautéed Greens

kale

chard greens

olive oil

shallot,

garlic,

lemon zest

red pepper flakes

sea salt

lemon juice

Trim the stalks and ribs from the greens, if they are more then ¼ inch thick.  Chop the stalks and ribs into ¼ inch slices. 

Put the chopped stalks in a large sauté pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté about 5 minutes on medium heat stirring every now and then while you prep the remaining ingredients.  When tender remove from pan and set aside.

Cut the destemmed greens into ¼ to ½ inch ribbons.

Add remaining olive oil to the pan over medium high, add chopped shallots.   Sauté 3 minutes, add garlic and red pepper flakes stirring for a minute or so. Then add the greens and turn the heat to medium low. Give it a stir every few minutes for about 8-10 minutes.

When the greens are wilted and tender add the sautéed stems stirring a minute to rewarm, turn heat off and add lemon zest, salt and lemon juice.  Stir to combine.  Taste and adjust flavor if desired.

What a great and easy way to serve greens.  I was getting tired of my usual "steam then sauté with olive oil".  And the Dukkah on top really finishes the greens.  Delicious!

I used only rainbow chard because I didn’t have kale—delicious still! The toasted pine nuts were a great addition. Thanks Sylvia!

This recipe was fantastic!  I've made it again and again, and it always goes quickly. :)

I've lived in the south most of my life and was always served collard greens "southern style" meaning simmered in pot liquor with some form of a smoked meat for flavoring.  My husband was a bit skeptical since his father always made it that way, but this did not disappoint.  It was so light yet flavorful and the lemon gave it so much brightness.  This is definitely a healthier way to cook greens.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Scrub outside of beets, and then wrap each beet in aluminum foil. Place foil-wrapped beets on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the beets are soft when pierced with a fork.

Remove beets from oven and let cool until cool enough to handle—about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thick and bubbly—about 3 minutes.

Using clean hands, rub off the peels of the beets, or alternatively, use a sharp vegetable peeler to peel off the peels. Slice the peeled beets into 1/4" rounds. Layer rounds on a platter, and then drizzle with the glaze before serving. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Perfect vegan coleslaw starts with a trick that you have to see to believe! Creamy, crunchy, savory, without a drop of oil or mayonnaise.

Perfect Vegan Coleslaw (oil-free)

head green cabbage

carrots

sugar

salt

savory cashew cream*

rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

dijon mustard

celery seeds celery seed

black pepper

In the bowl of a salad spinner or other large bowl, toss the cabbage and carrots with sugar and salt.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse under cold water and drain. The salad spinner basket is the perfect tool for this, but a large bowl and colander will work just fine.

In the meantime, make the dressing by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Spin the cabbage/carrot mixture dry using a salad spinner, or spread out over a sheet pan lined with kitchen towels and pat dry.

Toss with the dressing, and season with additional pepper to taste.

Keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days, but it won’t last that long.

Serve as a topping for carrot dogs or as a side at your next potluck.

Pressure Cooker Quinoa

water

Rinse quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve, if desired (most brands come pre-rinsed to remove bitter coating called saponin).

Toast quinoa by cooking over medium heat in a pressure cooker, for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. (use the Sauté function on the Instant Pot)

Add the water and bring to high pressure.

If using an Instant Pot, set the timer for 1 minute on Manual/High Pressure.

If using a stovetop pressure cooker, set a timer for 1 minute after high pressure has been reached.

Allow for a natural pressure release after the cooking time has elapsed.

If the pressure hasn't released naturally after 15 minutes, release any remaining pressure manually.

Fluff the quinoa with a fork, and serve immediately or place into freezer bags for long-term freezer storage.
