Oil
4 cups cauliflower florets, steamed and cooled (about 1/2 large cauliflower)
1 large egg lightly beaten

1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
2/3 cup panko or regular breadcrumbs

Calories

Ingredients

2 lbs. potatoes cut large dice (leave skin on red/yellow potatoes, peel Russets)
2 tsp. oil
1 medium onion diced
2 medium carrots sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
2 medium turnips peeled and diced small
1/2 cup peas fresh or frozen
1 bunch asparagus fresh, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (woody ends removed)
5 garlic cloves sliced thinly
2 to 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth divided
1 large handful kale or collards (hearty greens) cut into medium pieces
1 can white beans navy or cannellini drained and rinsed
1 tspn thyme fresh, or 1/4 tsp dried
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

Instructions

* If you don’t have all ingredients above, be creative with substitutions. Fresh green beans (1/4 lb) may replace asparagus. Or add chopped mushrooms (1 cup) for a rich taste. If extra veggies, use more broth in step #4.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place potatoes in a large pot of salted, cold water to cover. Bring water to a boil and then reduce to a medium simmer. Cook until fork tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain potatoes well and return to pot.
Meanwhile, add oil to a large, ovenproof skillet (10-12 inch). Heat med-high and sauté onion for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add carrots, turnips, peas, asparagus, garlic and any extra veggies. Sauté 5-10 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and brown bits form in pan. Pour in 1/2 cup broth, scraping up the brown bits.
Add greens, white beans, spices and 1 1/2 cups broth. Simmer 5-10 minutes, until liquid thickens and reduces slightly and vegetables are fork tender. Add more broth, if necessary.
While vegetables cook, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup broth to potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth.
Spread mashed potatoes over top of vegetables, to edges of pan. Place skillet in the oven. Bake until vegetable liquid bubbles and potato topping begins to brown, about 20 minutes.
Remove skillet from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Servings

Calories 159.6 kcal

Equipment

2 bowls
1 cutting board
1 knife
1 skillet cast iron or oven ready

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 medium onion diced
1 garlic clove minced
2 cups zucchini diced
1 cup red pepper diced
2 cups kale baby kale, arugula or spinach – chopped
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
12 eggs slightly beaten until just blended
1/2 cup cheddar cheese or sharp cheddar, smoked colby or other favorite

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients in advance and keep separate. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat oil in a 12 inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté about 5 minutes until softened. Add vegetables and cook another 5 minutes. Add garlic, greens, and cook until the greens have wilted. Spread cooked vegetables evenly over bottom of skillet.
Add cheddar cheese to the bowl of slightly-beaten eggs and stir once to combine. Pour egg and cheese mixture slowly into the skillet so that it covers the vegetables evenly. DO NOT STIR.
Continue cooking on stovetop over medium heat, without stirring, for about 5 minutes. Run a spatula around edge of skillet and pull back slightly to allow some liquid egg to flow to bottom of skillet. Then put skillet in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 10 – 15 minutes, or until nicely browned and center is firm. Let sit 5 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Notes:
Feel free to substitute other vegetables and herbs that you have on hand. About 3 cups of diced vegetables and 2 cups chopped greens works well.

If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, place sautéed vegetables and greens in a lightly-oiled, 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Add egg and cheese mixture and bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes.

2 15-oz. cans black beans drained and rinsed
2 cups pico de gallo roughly 1 and 1/2 cups chunky salsa may substitute
1 Tbsp. chipotle chiles (canned) finely chopped

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 stalks celery diced
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1 Tablespoon Herbs de Provence OR 1 teaspoon each dried thyme rosemary, oregano*

2 cups kale chopped, collards or escarole (optional)

Prepare your vegetables, cutting in a medium dice. If cabbage is extra-large, cut slices in half.
In a large stock pot, heat oil over medium-low heat, add onions, carrots and celery (also known as Mirepoix in France), sauté for 10 minutes. Smells delicious already!
Add garlic and spices, sauté for 1 minute more or until fragrant.

Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as needed. Enjoy!

Notes:

* If Herbs de Provence are not available, substitute another combination, as suggested above. Italian Blend seasoning would also work well. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes makes for a nice addition, too. This is a great recipe for using leftover produce. If you’re missing one or two items, you can still pull this together and have a wonderful soup!
