oil, olive oil or canola oil, into running food processor over powdered
raw almonds; start with 3 tablespoons and add more to taste. Process till

White Beans With Chicory - Apulia, Italy

Recipe By :Recipes for Health by Martha Rose Shulman
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : LowCal (Less than 300 cals) LowFat (Less than 20%)
Vegan

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound dried cannellini beans -- washed and picked over, soaked for 4 to 6 hours in 2 quarts water and drained
1 medium onion -- peeled, cut in half
4 garlic cloves -- crushed
1 bay leaf
Salt -- to taste
1 pound escarole -- chicory or Batavia lettuce, leaves separated and washed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves -- minced

1. Combine the beans with 2 quarts water in a 4-quart pot and bring to a
boil. Skim any foam, then add the onion, crushed garlic, bay leaf and salt
to taste. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours, until the beans
are very tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove and discard the onion,
garlic cloves if desired, and bay leaf. Drain through a colander or
strainer set over a bowl. Mash the beans with a potato masher and moisten
with some of the cooking liquid. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
The purée should be loose.

2. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the
lettuce. Cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of
cold water and drain. Squeeze out water and chop coarsely.

3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium
heat. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, and stir in the lettuce. Cook
for about 1 minute, stirring, until the lettuce is nicely coated. Season
with salt and pepper. Serve with the mashed beans.

Yield: Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 as a starter.

Advance preparation: This is best served on the day it's cooked, but it
makes a good leftover. The cooked beans will keep for 3 to 5 days in the
refrigerator. The cooked greens will keep for 2 to 3 days. Reheat both
before serving.

10 grams fat; 1 gram saturated fat; 1 gram polyunsaturated fat; 7 grams
monounsaturated fat; 0 milligrams cholesterol; 71 grams carbohydrates; 21

AuthorNote: This is inspired by a classic dish from Apulia, the heel of
the Italian boot. The authentic dish is a warm purée of skinned dried fava
beans, served with cooked greens, usually chicory, a bitter green that is
in the same family as escarole. If you are getting big heads of escarole
or another hearty bitter lettuce called Batavia in your C.S.A. baskets,
use the tough outer leaves for this and save the tender hearts for salads.

Recipe By :Recipes for Health by Martha Rose Shulman
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : LowCal (Less than 300 cals) LowerCarbs
LowFat (Less than 25%)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion -- chopped
1 bulb green garlic -- stalks and papery layers removed, roughly chopped
1/2 cup rice
7 cups stock
1/2 cup parsley leaves
1 bouquet garni -- made with a bay leaf and a few sprigs each parsley and thyme, tied together
Salt -- to taste
3/4 pound lettuce leaves -- washed and coarsely chopped (8 cups)
freshly ground pepper -- A generous amount of
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley -- or chives for garnish
To garnish: -- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add
the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add a
generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic
is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice, stock, parsley leaves and
bouquet garni, and bring to a boil. Add the lettuce and salt to taste,
reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. The tough
ribs of the lettuce leaves should be thoroughly tender.

2. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (working in batches and
covering the blender with a kitchen towel to prevent the hot soup from
splashing), blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender,
return the soup to the heat. Add lots of freshly ground pepper, taste and
adjust salt. Heat through and serve, garnishing each bowl with chopped
fresh parsley or chives and freshly grated Parmesan.

Yield: 4 servings.

Advance preparation: You can make this a day ahead, but you will probably
want to thin it out a bit when you reheat it.

(Weight-Watchers-Recipes) Bento Carmelized Red Cabbage - 3 pts plus

 

I used gingerale instead of ginger wine. Probably not as rich a taste, but it caramelized well. Its great to have a recipe for caramelized cabbage that doesn't include butter!

Serving Size  : 8     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Condiment                       Vegan

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2                red cabbage -- sliced finely
  1                     red onion -- sliced finely
  1           teaspoon  garlic -- chopped finely
     1/2      teaspoon  fresh chili pepper -- chopped finely
     1/3           cup  raw sugar
     1/3           cup  cider (or red wine) vinegar
     1/3           cup  ginger wine
     1/2      teaspoon  salt
     1/2           cup  red currant jelly
                           

Put first eight ingredients into a big pot and cook for 20 mins or so,
stirring often.
Add the red currant jelly and continue to cook until all the liquid has
reduced to a toffee-ish consistency.

Store in fridge, it lasts for months if you don't eat it. You can use it
cold or heat it up. Use it as a condiment or garnish rather than as a
vegetable.

Serves 8 as a condiment

AuthorNote: This recipe was kindly given to me by the chef at a café where
I had dinner a wee while ago. It was a garnish on a plate of paté and
bread, and totally delicious. I thought it'd make an excellent bento dish.
