Sample Recipes

Roasted Cauliflower & Watercress Chowder

Makes 4 servings ¦Vegetarian, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, diced (small, bite-sized pieces)

1/2 pound or 2 medium potatoes, diced (small, bite-sized pieces)

1 stalk celery, finely diced

1 carrot, minced or finely diced

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon safflower oil 

1/3 cup raw pistachios, shelled

1/4 cup white miso (optional)

1 small bunch watercress

Olive oil (for garnish) up to one teaspoon per bowl

Directions

- In a roasting pan, add potatoes, celery, carrots, and cauliflower. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1 tablespoon safflower oil. Cover with foil and roast at 425O F for 30 minutes.

- Add 1/2 the roasted vegetables to the blender. Add stock, pistachios, Miso, and watercress to the blender and puree till very smooth.

- Put the mixture into a pot and add the rest of the cooked vegetables. 

- Bring to simmer, but do not boil! 

- Garnish with a small amount of very good olive oil (optional)

Notes: As a child growing up in Brooklyn, I loved the fresh cauliflower that was available in summer when we would visit Upstate New York. Infatuation with this incredible and versatile vegetable has only grown over the years as I have learned more and more dishes using it. • This chowder is very popular on my catering menus and has been a huge hit at my underground restaurant in Oakland. • Basil can be substituted for watercress. • This soup is also great for a winter evening because it is hearty. • When you prepare the cauliflower and potatoes, remember that these need to be bite size. •  For gluten-free diets, avoid mugi miso which is made with barley; and for those preferring to avoid soy, use chickpea misos.

Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger & Soy

Makes 4 servings ¦ Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

2 pounds sea bass fillet (or any other flaky white fish)

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 inch of ginger root, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks

1 1/2 tablespoon rice wine (or any dry white wine)

2 tablespoon soy sauce (Tamari, gluten-free soy)

4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil* (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup fresh cilantro sprigs

Directions

- Salt both side of fillet. 

- Scatter ginger over top of fish.

- Drizzle rice wine over the fish and place on heat proof dish for steaming. 

- Place in steamer and cover, and steam for 10-15 minutes.

- Pour water out of the dish.

- Drizzle soy sauce over the fish. 

- Heat toasted sesame oil and olive oil over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke and then pour it carefully over the fish. 

- Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes: Sesame oil may be a trigger food for some people, which is  why it is optional. • Halibut is quite expensive and this dish can be made with almost any flaky white fish; ask your fish department for suggestions. • In stead of steaming, you can poach the fish. To poach, follow the recipe until just before “placing in steamer,” and place in a skillet, then add 2 cups of chicken stock, bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and poach for 10-15 minutes.  Then, continue cooking instructions from “pour water out of the dish.” Sonia
