couscous topped with roasted veggies, and mixed greens were thrown on top after it cooled, with a harissa style dressing. adapted from a delia's vegetarian collection recipe.
spinach salad with roasted sweet potato, feta, shallots and toasted almonds.
lasagna with broccoli, mushrooms, eggplant, carrots, ricotta, pine nuts topped with a butternut squash sauce.
the humidity came back today so what better way to beat it than with a hot plate of rice and beans! i've been on a brown rice kick lately, here's my recent recipe.
heat some olive oil in a 2 quart pan, add about half of a red onion or whatever kind you have lying around.
saute until almost translucent and add salt, pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic. cook for another 2 minutes or so.
add 2 cups of vegetable stock, 1 cup of brown rice and spices. i used dried sage, ancho chile powder, and cayenne pepper. also, the zest of half a lime, and about 2 tablespoons lime juice. i threw in a few slices of lime also.
bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 50 minutes. resist opening the pot! your rice will thank you.
i had a side of black beans stewed with tomatoes with this rice but use you imagination... grilled corn on the cob would be yummy.
lumi enjoyed her rare but favorite treat today as well...
enjoy.
