I ♥ Chanterelles
In honor of LiveSTRONG Day 2010, I prepared a yellow menu full of hearts: luscious golden chanterelle soup and spiraled pesto rolls using daikon greens and flaxseed.
A Bowlful of Sunshine
A bowlful of sunshine is always welcome on an autumn afternoon, and this golden tomato soup with filling barley and fresh shelling beans fits the bill.
Taking the Cure
Home-cured salmon isn't nearly as scary or complicated as I thought it would be! We loved this gravlax with scrambled eggs, in corn soup with okra croutons, and straight off the board.
Breakfast (Radishes) for Dinner
Using all parts of the radish: Raw for snacking, greens for soup, and even shredded into focaccia bread. Also a white bean-Caesar flatbread with prosciutto and arugula.
Chicken Tricks and Tortellinis
An in-depth guide to a basic roasted chicken, complete with my sure-fire gravy, crockpot chicken stock made from the carcass, and chicken soup with homemade tortellini.
From Vienna to Dal
This smooth red lentil soup is seasoned with garam masala and other Indian spices, and garnished with dollops of garlicky yogurt and a rice timbale.
Scratching the Itch
A savory chicken and potato stew, laced with leeks and greens, and flavored with Dijon mustard. Perfect fare for fall and winter weather.
Purple Pinto Eater
A delicious stewy Italian soup made from homemade pasta and the elusive fresh shelling beans, in this case purple-tinged rattlesnake beans.
Salmon Galore
A selection of salmon recipes: Simple, sweet miso-glazed fillets; poached salmon with a creamy mustard-dill sauce and a fantastic bonus chowder; smoky salmon bisque with Parmesan focaccia; and a company-ready salmon cannelloni with dill crespelle…
Arroz con Pollo and Friends
This easy boneless version of arroz con pollo shows its versatility with an array of leftovers, including breakfast burritos and tortilla soup. Also included is my go-to recipe for fresh flour tortillas.
I’m Not Crazy
This simple pureed lentil soup gets just the right touch of depth and richness from a garnish of ricotta cheese mixed with garlic and pulverized walnuts.
Halibut au Court Bouillion
Court bouillon, a French poaching liquid full of vegetables, flavors halibut for a light summer meal, then transforms into a slightly more hearty chowder the next night.
Julie Had a Lotta Lamb
Boneless leg of lamb, broken down into Moroccan-spiced kebabs and a savory Irish lamb stew, thickened with potatoes and barley.
Minestrone and Mac
Italian vegetable soup paired with Dorie Greenspan's corn muffins for a crisper-cleaning, barrel-scraping meal. Plus, a use for those leftover corn muffins the next day---City Bakery's mac and cheese!
Girasole Soup
A smooth, basic sunchoke bisque is enlivened with a counterpoint of crisp, smoky bacon and bitter radicchio.
Mr. Crocodile, Do You Like Codfish?
Baked cod with breadcrumbs will work in a pinch, but by all means, save enough fish to make up a pot of this phenomenal saffron-scented cod chowder too.
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Roasting cauliflower makes it both tender and nutty. My soup enhances that flavor with aromatic thyme and the tang of white wine.
Baked Potato Soup
I don't like my actual baked potatoes with anything beyond butter, but the bacon, cheese, and particularly the tang of sour cream elevates this soup to something more than a bowl of baked potatoes.
