Eggplant Parmesean is the dish I use to judge the quality of any Italian restaurant. Here is my version of this classic Italian dish. Enjoy it as a main course or as a side dish alongside your favorite Mediterranean-inspired meal. Buon appetito!
I developed this recipe as a low-sodium alternative to any other bagels I could find at a grocery store. Feel free to increase the salt amount to ½ teaspoon if you prefer. This recipe makes 9 bagels.
I created this quick and easy garlic scape mock hummus recipe as a delicious snack for dipping with pita chips or bagel chips. Unlike a traditional hummus, this garlic scape hummus recipe uses sunflower seeds instead of garbanzo beans (chickpeas) as the base. You could substitute the sunflower seeds with garbanzo beans if you prefer.
Here are my five favorite ways to cook with garlic scapes. When using the scape, I prefer to remove and discard the flowering tip of the scape. It tends to be more fibrous and it leaves my pesto with a stringy texture the first time I didn’t remove the bulbous tip.
When carrots are abundant, I like to shred them, measure out 2 cups and vacuum seal them using my FoodSaver vacuum sealer. Then I pop the shredded carrots into the freezer so I have them on hand for when the baking mood hits me. We really like this recipe for carrot muffins. They make a great, quick breakfast and after-dinner snack.
After many attempts, I’ve finally developed the best method for hard-cooking farm-fresh eggs. Ready? I steam them in my Instant Pot! Consider one if you don’t yet have an electronic pressure cooker appliance. It has replaced my slow cooker, rice steamer, and my old-fashioned stove-top pressure cooker, so I justified the expense on the space savings.
