European-Style Buckwheat Cake
Known as schwarzplententorte in German or torta di granosaraceno in Italian, this wonderfully moist and dense cake is usually eaten for breakfast together with a big cup of coffee—or as a morning or afternoon snack.
Braised Greens
These tender greens are a great side dish.
Ingredients:
1 pound braising greens, such as this week’s mix, or your other favorite green such as Collard greens, Swiss chard or kale
½ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch red pepper flakes
Sea salt
Method:
1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring often, until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the greens and 1 teaspoon salt.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add water, and steam, covered, until greens are just tender and water evaporates, about 10 minutes. If greens are ready but there is still water in the pan, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, uncovered, until completely evaporated.
Chili-Roasted Potatoes, Bell Peppers & Sweet Onions
These easy roasted veggies are a great brunch side dish. (Or, try topping a hearty serving with a poached egg for a satisfying entrée.)
Ingredients:
2 pounds baby red potatoes, washed and sliced into halves (if smaller) or quarters (if large)
2 Bell peppers, seeded and cut into large chunks
1 sweet onion, peeled and sliced into large chunks
2 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil
½ teaspoon chili powder (which you can make from this week’s chili peppers!)
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Freshly-chopped parsley
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place potatoes, peppers and onions in a baking dish large enough for vegetables to spread out into a single layer. (Don’t crowd, or the vegetables won’t have a chance to crisp and brown. If necessary, divide the vegetables onto two baking sheets.) Add oil and chili powder and season generously with salt and pepper, toss all evenly to coat.
2. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring once or two during roasting, until potatoes are pierced easily with a fork. Remove from the oven, drizzle with about a teaspoon of olive oil and garnish with the fresh parsley.
