Baby Bok Choy with Cashews


As my love for vegetables grows, my love for bok choy explodes.  I pick up some, almost every time, I go to the store and try to make sure, I have some for the Sabbath.  It is an easy vegetable to work with and it adds an element of specialness to any dish.

 This morning, I looked at my Bok Choy and wondered what to do with it.  Rarely, do I make it the star of the dish since it accommodates to almost everything else, I find in my kitchen.  Today, I happened upon a dish at Simply Recipes from 2007 and I decided to revive it.


Baby Bok Choy with Cashews  adapted

Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped  onions, 
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
3 baby bok choy, 
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/2 cup chopped, roasted,  cashews
 
Method: 

Chop stalks of bok choy and slice leaves, leaving big pieces. 

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Add onions, then garlic, then chopped bok choy. Sprinkle with sesame oil. Cook the baby bok choy until it cooks down - approximately 3 minutes.

Lower heat. Stir and let cook for a minute or two longer, until the bok choy is just cooked.

Mix in cashews.

Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
