Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Lettuce salad with cashew, cheese and cranberries

 

Lettuce salad with cashew, cheese and cranberries

This recipe is for a lettuce salad with cashew, cheese and cranberries, literally one of the easiest salads I’ve ever come up with. Make sure to prepare it close to serving time, and only add the dressing just before placing the bowl on the table, so that the lettuce leaves remain fresh and crisp. The combination of the lettuce, cashews, cheese, and cranberries is a winning mix of sweet and tart. 

Makes 6-8 servings.

  • 200 gr. Salanova lettuce
  • 100 gr. baby spinach leaves
  • 100 gr. cress seeds
  • 1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped 
  • 1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped 
  • Leaves from 20 sprigs of mint, chopped or whole
  • Leaves from 10 sprigs of basil, chopped or whole
  • ¾ cup cashews, pecans, almonds, or walnuts
  • ½ cup cranberries
  • 1 container (250 gr.) *Tzfat cheese with nigella seeds, cut into medium-size cubes (see bellow)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2-3 Tbsp. oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves well. (It’s important to dry the leaves well, or you won’t achieve the ultimate texture for the salad.) 

Place all the ingredients in a bowl, except for the cheese, lemon, oil, salt, and pepper, then mix well. Just before serving, add the cheese, lemon, oil, salt, and pepper, then mix well again. Taste and adjust seasoning. 

Level of difficulty: Easy, Time: 40 minutes   Status: Dairy

*Tzfat cheese (Hebrew: גבינה צפתית, gvina tsfattit) is a semi-hard salty cheese produced in Israel, originally from sheep's milk.  You can substitute Tzfat cheese with any semi-hard salty cheese that suits your taste 

ENJOY!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Cool Down Beef Curry

 Cool Down Beef Curry

by Lisa Starr, Meatland

https://www.meatland.net/


Can't imagine eating curry in summer? It's actually even better for you now than it is in winter.The curcumin in turmeric helps improve circulation, and speeding up blood flow cools your body down. In addition, the slowly stewed onions make curry ideal for very hot weather, as the vegetable has long been used in ancient Indian medicine 'Ayurvada' to treat heat stroke.Who knew that your food choices had such direct impact on your health?Curry up and collect aromatic essentials - don't be scared off by the ingredients list as it's all super simple to source and even easier to assemble. 

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil2 large onions, cubed2 large green apples, peeled and cut in chunks1 heaped tablespoon curry powder2 teaspoons crushed garlic2 teaspoons turmeric1 - 2 sticks cinnamon1 tablespoon cumin1 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds*1 tablespoon garam masala (optional)1 kg beef - goulash/stroganoff, cubed or cut in strips2 teaspoons salt1/3 cup chutney2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar/5% vinegar2 tablespoons dark brown sugar400g can crushed tomatoes1/3 cup tomato paste1 - 2 cups beef stock or water3 to 4 potatoes, peeled and par-boiledFresh coriander leaves to serve* I love the lemony flavor of crushed coriander seeds. Buy at a spice shop and place in a bag then pound with a tin can or similar till crushed. You can also use ground coriander but the seeds are more memorable. Feel free to throw in a tablespoon of fennels seeds if desired.  

Directions1: Heat the oil and fry the onions till translucent then add the garlic and apple and cook for a few minutes more.2: Add the meat and spices and toss to coat then add remaining ingredients apart from potatoes.3: Simmer for approximately 3 hours - add extra liquid only if needed - till meat is very soft then add par-boiled potatoes cut into chunks and cook a further few minutes.4: Check seasoning and serve on rice with coriander leaves.


ENJOY!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Sausage and Peppers Recipe

 Sausage and Peppers Recipe

By Pasquale Sciarappa, orsara recipes. com, September 7, 2018



Ingredients 
  • 6 hot Italian sausages
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 hot pepper, sliced, optional
  • 1 whole yellow onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. oregano
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • olive oil


Directions

Start by prepping the peppers, onion and garlic. To see how I prefer to slice my peppers, watch the video. I like to add hot pepper because I like the spicy kick it adds.

Drizzle some olive oil in a deep frying pan and heat over a medium flame. Add the sausages to the pan and cook on each side for about 5 minutes. Remove from the frying pan and set aside.



Drizzle some more olive oil to the same frying pan and add the onions and garlic and cook over a low flame for about about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Continue to stir throughout so that the onions and garlic do not burn.

Add the peppers to the frying pan and mix together. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and oregano and continue to cook for about 9 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally. Next, add the sausage and continue to cook over a medium/low flame for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once this is done, you can serve with a side of potatoes or rice, but I like to eat this as a sandwich. Enjoy and cin cin!



Hello everybody! Today I am sharing with you how I make sausage and peppers. Watch the video below as I prepare the sausage and peppers recipe or continue reading for the written recipe.




ENJOY!
