Re: need advise & recipe

 

 

Hi Jeannie,

 

Hope you feel better soon! After years of not getting colds, my partner

and I swapped cold/fluy things for something like six weeks over the

fall/winter. Diane's Curried Lemon Garlic Broth with Spinach and Cayenne

and Donna's Tibetan Chard with Tofu (not a soup) were a huge help.

(Many thanks again to you both!) Recipes are below

Peace,

Maureen

 

Curried Lemon Garlic Broth with Spinach and Cayenne

 

6 cups veg broth

2 tsp curry powder

1/4 tsp cayenne

1/2 cup orzo

1/2 ld fresh spinach, coarsely shopped (about 6 cups)

2 Tbs fresh lemon juice

1 Tbs honey

2 tsp olive oil

12 medium garlic cloves, minced

6 scallions, trimmed & minced

 

Bring veg broth, curry, and cayenne to boil in a soup pot. Add orzo

and cook for 8 minutes.

 

Stir spinach into simmering base and cook until just wilted, about 2

minutes. Stir in lemon juice and honey.

 

Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add garlic and

scallions, saute for 30 seconds. Ladle soup into bowls and top with

portion of the garlic-scallion mixture. Serve and enjoy.

Tibetan Chard with Tofu

1 bunch of chard, (I used rainbow) washed & torn into pieces

4 green onions, chopped (including bottoms & tops)

1/2 tsp. paprika

3 large garlic cloves, smashed

1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, finely grated

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. mustard seeds

1/4 tsp. turmeric

1/4 tsp. black pepper

2 tblpsns. soy sauce

1/4 cup peas, frozen and thawed

olive oil (for extra flavor use a few drops of sesame oil)

 

Heat a little oil in skillet and stir fry green onions, paprika,

ginger, two of the three smashed cloves of garlic, mustard seeds ,

turmeric, and cumin for 2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, tofu and peas

for 3 minutes or until tofu is coated and heated through.

 

In a separate skillet heat a little oil until it's quite hot, stir in

one smashed garlic clove, pepper, add chard, stir fry until wilted and

coated with garlic, pepper and oil, cover pan and let steam for about 1

to 2 minutes.

 

Spread greens on a serving dish and pour tofu mixture across the top.
