Extra Savory 3-Bean Stew
When cold weather hits, one of my go-tos is to pull out the slow cooker and make chili and stew. With just a couple prep steps, this vegan stew cooks almost entirely passively, freeing you to other cold weather activities and fantasies of steaming bowls-to-come.
My Favorite Wheat Berry Salad
Wheat berries are chock-full of protein, fiber, and nutrients—and hooray, they’re also delicious. Typically milled into flour, these hearty seeds can and should be cooked whole.
Gorgeous Gigante Beans+Toast
Thoroughly a legume lover, cooking magical, fairytale-worthy gigante beans was a greatly anticipated occasion. One of the simplest ways to serve these, and one of my favorites, is spooning the beans and their liquor onto thick sourdough toast, adorning with roasted red pepper ribbons, and sprinkling with flaky salt. These beans are so creamy, so meaty, so good. And entirely vegan.
Colcannon
Crispy Potatoes with Garlic Mustard Pesto
Garlic mustard outcompetes most native spring greens, so thank goodness it is as versatile as it is aggressive. This dish is like eating great French fries. Only, instead of frying, their crisp puffiness comes from steaming, then roasting.
Soothing Broth with Mushrooms & Wild Rice
This stock is excellent to enhance the flavor of anything that requires liquid: from rice to barley or quinoa, beans, stews, ragù, risotto, soups, and more.
Seared Scallops and Creamy Saffron Beans
Beans are often thought of as humble, sustenance food. When cooked into a tender stew – here infused with saffron – they and their liquor transform into a thing utterly divine.
Salmon, Peas & Potato Salad
Summertime swelter necessitates little or no cooking. Enter this not-a-lick of mayo zippy potato salad, my favorite kind. After only a brief simmer, buttery potatoes meld with juicy peas, punchy grain mustard and other aromatics, for a bright pick-me-up dish whose colors entice, then deliver big on taste.
