Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Cranberries and Nuts

Ingredients

For the acorn squash:

  • 2 acorn squash, halved and seeds scooped out

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the stuffing:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped

  • 3/4 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

  • salt to taste

Instructions

To cook the acorn squash:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).

  2. Divide the oil over the 4 squash halves and use your fingers or a brush to spread the oil over the squash flesh. Bake cut side facing down on a baking pan for 25 - 35 minutes until the squash is fork-tender.

To make the quinoa filling:

  1. Heat the oil in a large high sided pan or pot over medium-high heat. When hot add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions turn translucent and just begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa and vegetable broth and cover with a lid. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the vegetable broth is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked.

  2. Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in all of the remaining ingredients, the nuts or seeds, cranberries, thyme, sage, pepper, cinnamon, and add salt to taste. I found the vegetable broth I used had enough salt so I did not need extra, but taste your dish and add more if needed. Remove from heat.

To stuff the acorn squash:

  1. Divide the quinoa mixture evenly among the acorn squash halves, packing it into the well of the squash. You may have extra quinoa leftover. Serve hot, and garnish with more fresh thyme or sage as desired. See notes for making this dish ahead of time.

Spiced Sweet Potato Bread

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (2 medium or 1 very large)

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (or yogurt, Greek yogurt, sour cream, or buttermilk powder)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

  • pinch salt, optional and to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan (what I used), or two 8-by-4-inch loaf pans, or a 10-cup Bundt pan, or a muffin pan with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pan(s); set aside.

  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 1-inch sized chunks. Place chunks in a large, shallow microwave-safe bowl. Add 3 tablespoons water, cover with plastic wrap, and cook on high power for 15 to 17 minutes, or until potatoes are very fork-tender. Pour off any water. Mash sweet potatoes with a fork. Allow them to cool momentarily so you don't scramble the eggs.

  3. To the sweet potatoes, add the eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla and whisk until combined; set aside. (I used buttermilk powder and added 1 tablespoon powder to the dry ingredients and 1/4 cup water to this wet mixture)

  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, sugars, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, optional salt, and whisk to combine.

  5. Pour the wet sweet potato mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir to incorporate. Take your time stirring until no stray bits of dry ingredients are visible, folding and scraping the bottom of the bowl with a spatula as necessary because it's very easy to miss dry ingredients hiding at the bottom of the bowl in this batter. Stir and fold with a gentle hand as to not over-mix and over-develop the gluten, which results in tougher bread.

  6. Turn batter out into prepared pan(s), smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes for a 9x5 pan, or until top is domed, golden, loaf is springy to the touch, and cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent pan with foil in the last 15 minutes of cooking if top is browning a bit fast before interior has cooked through.

  7. Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Roasted Cabbage Steaks

  • 1 small head green cabbage - any dark, loose leaves removed

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic - minced

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1/3 cup raw pecan halves or walnut halves - optional

  • 1 small lemon - halved (optional )

  • For serving: grated Parmesan - chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley (optional)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.

  • Cut off the bottom (root) end of the cabbage and place it on a cutting board sitting up so that the flat end is on the cutting board. Cut top to bottom into 3/4- to 1-inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheet. If you have more slices than fit on your baking sheet without touching, divide them between two baking sheets.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush over one side of the cabbage, then flip the cabbage over and brush the other side. Roast the cabbage for 26 to 28 minutes, or until crispy at the edges and tender in the center. (If you are using one pan, roast it on the center rack; if two, use the the upper and lower-third racks.) Halfway through the baking time, rotate the pan(s) 180 degrees; if you are using two pans, switch their positions on the upper and lower racks at this point too. No need to flip the cabbage over. Don’t worry about any extra crispy, dark leaves around the very outsides; they’ll taste incredible.

  • While the cabbage bakes, toast the pecans in the oven at the same time: spread the pecans onto a small, ungreased baking sheet. Toast them in the oven with the cabbage until fragrant and the center of a pecan is light tan when broken in half, about 8 minutes, tossing them once halfway through. DO NOT WALK AWAY during the last several minutes of baking. Nuts love to burn the second you do. Remove the pecans from the oven and transfer immediately to a cutting board (if you leave them on the hot pan and they are super toasted already, they may burn). Let cool, then roughly chop.

  • Sprinkle the roasted cabbage with Parmesan and fresh herbs. Squeeze the lemon over the top, then finish with the chopped pecans. Serve hot.

Cauliflower Salad with Olives and Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

  • 15 ounce can chickpeas , drained

  • 1/2 cup red onion , finely chopped

LEMON DRESSING

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill sprigs

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Prepare the cauliflower by pulling away any leaves and remove the core. Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Place these in a large microwave-safe bowl. To use most of the cauliflower, cut long stems into small pieces. Add these to the same microwave-safe bowl.

  • Place the bowl in a microwave and cook for 3 – 4 minutes. This will soften the cauliflower but it will still have a crisp bite.

  • Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a salad bowl. Add tomatoes, black olives, chickpeas, and chopped onions.

LEMON DRESSING

  • While the cauliflower is cooking in the microwave, prepare the lemon dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake (if using a jar with a lid) until creamy. Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and stir well to coat, reserving some dressing to add on immediately before serving.

  • Cover the salad and refrigerate and allow it to sit for at least an hour before serving (overnight is even better). Be sure to stir to redistribute the marinade before serving.

  • This salad will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Not recommended for freezing.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large head of cauliflower

  • 1 white or yellow onion

  • 3-4 garlic cloves, unpeeled

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, or olive oil

  • 1 teaspoons cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoons coriander

  • salt and pepper, to taste

  • 4 cups vegetable broth, or more for a thinner consistency

Garnish

  • roasted cauliflower florets

  • toasted almond slices

  • thyme

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat your oven to 425F (220C).

  • Use a large knife to cut the cauliflower head in half through the stem, then quarters. Remove the florets from the quarters by slicing out the stem at a diagonal. Cut any large florets into small pieces.

  • Add the cauliflower florets to a baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil or olive oil and add the cumin, coriander, salt and pepper.

  • Use your hands to mix everything together on the baking tray.

  • Slice the onion in half, leaving on the outer skin. Rub a little oil on the cut side, then place the onion halves cut side down on the baking sheet.

  • Use a knife to slice one end off the unpeeled garlic cloves. This just makes it easier to squish them out after they've baked. Lay them on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with a little oil and wrap them in the foil.

  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges of the cauliflower florets start to turn golden.

  • Save a few of the prettiest florets for garnish. Then transfer the remaining cauliflower to a high-powered blender. Remove the outer skin of the onion and the garlic cloves and add to the blender as well.

  • Pour the vegetable broth into the blender. Blend on high for one minute. If you'd like a thinner consistency, just add more broth or water.

  • To serve, add the roasted cauliflower soup to a bowl and top a couple roasted cauliflower florets, toasted almond slices and fresh thyme.

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets

  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup

  • 2 Tablespoon sriracha

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 Tablespoon tamari or soy sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Pour the cauliflower onto the baking sheet and place in the oven. Be sure to give the cauliflower “room to breathe.” If the baking sheet is over-crowded, the cauliflower will “steam” and it won’t cook right. If you need to, divide it between 2 baking sheets.

  4. Bake for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
