Recipe: Deluxe Shakshuka with Spicy Roasted Potatoes and Chickpeas

 

Ingredients:

  • 3–4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 pound (225g) small Yukon potatoes, halved
  • 1 15-ounce can (425g) chickpeas, drained and dried
  • 2 teaspoon ground paprika, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, divided
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced or diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 28-ounces cans (800g each) whole plum tomatoes, chopped + 1/3 of the juice for each can
  • 1 teaspoon harissa sauce
  • 5.3 ounces (150g) fresh baby spinach (optional)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 4 to 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup (5 ounces/140g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • Chopped cilantro, for serving (or parsley)

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add halved potatoes and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
  3. Add drained and dried chickpeas and cook for 2 additional minutes, shaking the pan regularly. Stir in half of the paprika, half of the chili powder and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a clean plate and wipe up the skillet with paper towel to re-use it.
  4. Heat the remaining olive oil, then add onions and bell pepper. Cook gently until very soft, about 10-12 minutes. Add garlic and cook until tender. Stir in cumin, the remaining paprika and chili powder.
  5. Add the tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with 1/3 of the sauce or each can, and season with salt and pepper. When the sauce is hot, add baby spinach if using, until wilted, then place potatoes back and let simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  6. Using the back of a spoon, create 4 to 6 evenly spaced wells for the eggs, then carefully crack 1 egg into each, keeping the yolks intact.
  7. Sprinkle chickpeas and crumbled feta on top, then transfer skillet to the oven and bake until eggs are just set, 7 to 10 minutes.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sesame seeds and serve with crusty bread or pita bread alongside, if desired.

Recipe: Oregon Summer Salad with Grilled Salmon

 
Author: Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky
Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2
 

 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ¾ pound wild salmon or arctic char, cut into 2 fillets
  • ½ pound asparagus, trimmed
  • ½ tsp coarse sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups loosely packed arugula or other salad greens
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (I used walnuts)
  • ½ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
  • Dressing:
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 heaping Tbsp Dijon mustard
 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler with an oven rack set on the upper shelf. Drizzle the oil over the salmon and asparagus and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon until opaque, 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  2. At the same time, grill the asparagus, rotating frequently, until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes. Remove to a clean plate.
  3. Alternatively, place the salmon and asparagus on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cook under the broiler until the salmon is opaque, 6-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillet), and the asparagus is lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (rotating frequently). If the asparagus are done, but the salmon needs more time, remove the asparagus to a cutting board and return the salmon to the oven.
  4. Pile 2 large salad bowls with the arugula or salad greens. Top with the blueberries, hazelnuts, and cheese. Slice the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
  5. Make the dressing by combining the oil, vinegar, and mustard in a glass jar with a lid. Shake vigorously until emulsified.
  6. Top each salad with a salmon fillet and the asparagus and drizzle with the dressing.
  7. Serve with a slice of crusty bread, if desired.

Baked Lemon Salmon and Parsley Potato Dinner

Serves 1 | Serving Size: 1 plate
Total Time: 20 min | Prep: 5 min | Cook: 15 min
 
Here is a dinner that is super easy and quick to prepare and cook, when you want to take less than 30 minutes. Try using leftover rice instead of potato to incorporate a resistant starch into your diet. You may find that although 2/3 cup of rice is 30 grams of carbohydrates, your blood sugar won’t rise as quickly using leftover rice, even when heated. Comprising a dinner of protein, vegetables and healthy fats, this is a nutrient rich meal.
 
 

Ingredients:

  • 3 ounces salmon
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Yukon gold potato
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley
  • 4 asparagus spears
  • 1 slice of tomato

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425F.

Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place the salmon, topped with the thin slice of tomato, with lemon wedges alongside, in a glass pie pan in the oven. Bake the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

Meanwhile, microwave the potato for 3 minutes then add it to the oven. Place the asparagus in a pan and bake it with the fish for the last 5 or 6 minutes. You want the asparagus to be crisp tender.

Plate your dinner. Place the salmon with the tomato on the plate and squeeze the lemon over the fish. Add the potato and garnish the potato with the butter, black pepper, and parsley. Add the asparagus and a bit of garlic salt, butter, lemon and pepper to taste over the asparagus.
