Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Vegetables Pasta & Pasta Sauces

Main Dishes

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Salt

8 ounces penne pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 cup diced seedless cucumber

1/2 cup kalamata olives -- (optional)

2 green onions -- minced

1 large clov garlic -- minced

1 pound ripe cherry or teardrop tomatoes

(yellow or red or a combination)

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

 

4 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE

 

One of the most appealing aspects of a pasta salad is that it allows you to

improvise. Experiment by adjusting the seasonings and substituting or

adding sauteed mushrooms, feta cheese or blanched green beans.

 

Bring a large pot of water to boil. When water boils, add 1 tablespoon

salt and pasta, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook pasta until al dente,

about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine oil, lemon juice and cumin. Season with

salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.

 

Drain pasta; run under cold running water and drain again. Transfer to

large serving bowl. Add cucumber, olives, green onions, garlic and

tomatoes. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat. Serve at room

temperature.

Tunisian-Style Greens and Beans

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Vegan Vegetables

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion -- sliced

2 cloves garlic -- minced (2 to 3)

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon crushed chile flakes

4 cup chopped greens -- such as beet greens

or Swiss chard

1 cup diced tomatoes with juices

1 cup cooked beans (garbanzos are my favorite)

approx. 1/2 cup bean cooking water

 

1. Stew the onion and garlic in a little oil until the onion is soft.

 

2. Stir in the salt and spices.

 

3. Chop the greens and stir them in. (A little water left on the greens from

washing them is

good, it helps steam them done.)

 

4. When the greens wilt, add the tomatoes, beans and some of the bean

cooking water.

Cook for 10 or 15 minutes. The finished dish should be a little saucy, but

not soupy. Add

bean water or plain water accordingly.
