Celery Root Salad

Celery Root Salad

Celery Root Salad is also called celery remoulade , but this is misleading because there is no remoulade sauce used. I used crème fraiche, mayonnaise and mustard. The salad is delicious on crackers or bread and perfect as a side dish with fish.

VegiRoni Salad

VegiRoni Salad

One thing let to another. I was making a simple macaroni salad and then I had some leftover Pico de Gallo and I thought to my self hmm. How would that taste if I add that to the macaroni salad. And I was right it’s delicious. VegiRoni Salad is one of my favorite salads now. You don’t have to add the Pico de Gallo you can eat it without it to. Your choice.

Stuffed Eggplant

Stuffed Eggplant

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplants
  • 1/2 cup olive oil for frying
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the eggplant in half. Carefully scoop out the centers of the eggplants, leaving a half-inch shell so they resemble ‘canoes’. Cut the center portion into small pieces, and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and saute for a few minutes, until tender. Add the eggplant pieces, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the tomato, green pepper, and parsley. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat, and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the bread crumbs until evenly blended. Divide the mixture evenly between the two eggplant shells. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top. Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are browned.

Green Cabbage

Green Cabbage

Cabbage is a leafy green biennial, grown as an annual vegetable for its densely-leaved heads. Closely related to other cole crops such as broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts. Cabbage heads generally range from 1 to 8 poundsand can be green, purple and white.

It is difficult to trace the exact history of cabbage, but it was most likely domesticated somewhere in Europe before 1000 BC. By the Middle Ages it was a prominent part of European cuisine, although savoys were not developed until the 16th century. Cabbage heads are generally picked during the first year of the plants’ life cycles, but those intended for seed are allowed to grow a second year, and must be kept separated from other cole crops to prevent cross pollination. Cabbage is prone to several nutrient deficiencies, as well as multiple pests, bacteria and fungal diseases.

Cabbages are prepared in many different ways for eating, although pickling, in dishes such as sauerkraut, is the most popular. Cabbage is a good source of beta-carotene, vitamin C and fiber.
