Step 1

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Meanwhile, prepare the cake.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and simmer over medium-high heat until the florets are quite soft, about 15 minutes. They should break when pressed with a spoon. Drain and set aside in a colander to dry.

Step 3

Cut 4 round slices, each 1/4-inch, off one end of the onion and set aside. Dice the rest of the onion and place in a small frying pan with the oil and rosemary. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, line the base and sides of a 9 1/2-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Brush the sides with melted butter, then mix together the sesame and other seeds and toss them around the inside of the pan so that they stick to the sides. 

Step 4

Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs and basil and whisk well to combine. Add the cheese, flour, baking powder, turmeric, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and plenty of pepper. Whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower and stir gently, trying not to break up the florets.

Step 5

Pour the cauliflower mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly, and arrange the reserved onion rings on top. Bake until golden brown and set, about 45 minutes. A knife inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean. Let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. It needs to be served just warm, rather than hot, or at room temperature.

Want to enjoy fresh corn all year long? Try these simple methods with thawing instructions.

How to Freeze Corn So You Can Enjoy a Taste of Summer All Year Long

corn cobs

Stephanie Ganz

Step 1: Method 1: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Blanched)

Shuck the corn: Remove the corn’s husk and silk. Trim dry ends or tops. Bring a wide pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. While the water boils, fill a large bowl with equal parts water and ice.

Step 2: Method 1: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Blanched)

Blanch the corn: Use tongs to add the corn cobs 2 to 4 at a time, depending on what your pot will hold. Boil for 4 minutes.

Step 3: Method 1: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Blanched)

Shock the corn: Remove the corn from the boiling water and place in the ice bath. Repeat blanching and shocking the remaining cobs.

Step 4: Method 1: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Blanched)

Cut the kernels from the cob: Remove the corn cobs from the ice bath. Cut the corn kernels from the cob by slicing from the top to the bottom of the corn cob, cutting between the kernels and the cob.

Step 5: Method 1: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Blanched)

Freeze the corn: Transfer the corn kernels into zip-top freezer bags, remove as much air as possible, seal, and label. Freeze the bags flat. Corn kernels can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Step 6: Method 1: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Blanched)

How to thaw: Put the whole bag in the fridge overnight so it’s ready to use the next day, or, if you’re short on time, place the frozen corn in a saucepan with a few tablespoons of water, cover, and heat on medium-high until the kernels break apart. Then use them as you would for any recipe, but keep in mind that frozen, pre-cooked corn may retain extra moisture.

Step 1: Method 2: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Unblanched) 

How to freeze: First, remove kernels from the cob. Once the kernels have been liberated from the cob, you can pop them in a freezer bag, label and date them, and store them in the freezer for up to 12 months. 

Step 2: Method 2: How to Freeze Corn Kernels (Unblanched) 

How to thaw: Place the whole bag of corn in the fridge overnight, or run the bag of corn under running water if you’re short on time. 

Step 1: Method 3: How to Freeze Whole Cobs of Corn 

How to freeze: Simply shuck, blanch for about four minutes, and shock the cobs in an ice bath before drying and freezing, removing as much air from the freezer bag as possible before popping them in the freezer.

Step 2: Method 3: How to Freeze Whole Cobs of Corn 

How to thaw: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and boil the cobs for two to three minutes, just enough to cook the kernels without getting them waterlogged. 

Chocolatey and chewy, these homemade RX Bars are our take on the darling meal replacement of the moment. A sprinkling of finishing salt upgrades these bars and helps bring out the flavor even further.

How To Make Copycat RX Bars

whole raw almonds (about 5 ounces)

whole raw cashews (about 5 ounces)

egg white protein powder (3 ounces)

cocoa powder (2 ounces)

coarse sea salt

Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. 

Patty Catalano

Line the pan with parchment paper. Line an 11x7-inch baking pan with a parchment paper sling. 

Process the nuts until finely chopped. Place the almonds and cashews in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process until finely chopped into a crumb consistency, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. 

Process the egg white protein and cocoa powder. Add the egg white protein powder and cocoa powder and process for 30 seconds. You may need to stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl. 

Add the dates and process until a dough forms. Add the dates and process for 1 to 2 minutes. The processor will be very full so the dough might not form a ball, but it should feel slightly tacky and hold together when squeezed. The mixture will not feel dry or powdery once the dates are completely incorporated.

Press the date mixture into the pan. Transfer the date mixture to the prepared pan. Press down into an even layer with your fingers. You can also use a small piece of parchment to help you press the dough into a smooth layer and keep your hands from getting too sticky. Sprinkle with the salt and press lightly to adhere.

Step 6

Chill and cut the bars. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes to set. Grasping the parchment, pull the slab out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut into 20 (2- x 1 3/4-inch) bars.

Step 7

Store the bars between parchment in an airtight container. Transfer the bars to an airtight container. Divide each layer of bars with a piece of parchment to keep the bars from sticking together. Bars can also be wrapped individually in parchment paper for easy transport.

Copycat Rx Bars

Recipe: Braised Coconut Spinach &#038; Chickpeas with Lemon

onion

sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

garlic,

ginger

lemon

hot red pepper,

chickpeas,

baby spinach

(13 coconut milk

lemon juice, plus more as needed

salt, plus more as needed

Whole roasted sweet potatoes

cilantro leaves

Toasted unsweetened coconut

Serving: This is thick enough to eat on its own with a fork, but it&#x27;s also saucy enough to serve over pasta, rice, quinoa, or another grain.Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat gently over low heat on the stove.

Heat the oil or ghee in a large, deep Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until the onion is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, fresh ginger, lemon zest, and red pepper, if using. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the chickpeas and cook over high heat for a few minutes, or until the chickpeas are beginning to turn golden and are coated with the onion and garlic mixture.

Toss in the spinach, one handful at a time. This will take about 5 minutes; stir in a handful or two and wait for it to wilt down and make room in the pot before adding the next handful. When all the spinach has been added, add the coconut milk, lemon juice, ground ginger, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat and cook until the chickpeas are warmed through, about 10 minutes. Taste and season with more salt and lemon juice if needed. Serve hot over roasted sweet potatoes, with cilantro leaves and toasted unsweetened coconut to garnish.

Are you in the mood for some comfort food? Of course you are. But now that spring is here and summer is on the horizon, you might, however, be leaning towards something with vegetables — perhaps even a vegetarian dish? I have a proposal for you: fresh baby spinach and chickpeas, slow-cooked with ginger, garlic, and onion in a creamy coconut milk sauce, finished off with a healthy dash of lemon. But it doesn't stop there. No — this spicy, tangy dish of greens was designed to be served over a sweet potato. See? Both comforting and your daily dose of vegetables, all in one dish.
