Egg-White Frittata with Shrimp, Tomato, and Spinach

What to buy: 

Look for the smallest shrimp you can find, so that you can fit more of them into the frittata. If you can’t find good-looking small ones, try quartering larger ones.

If you’re not into separating the 16 eggs needed for this recipe (or have no use for the remaining yolks), we’ve found that Eggology’s packaged liquid egg whites are just as good as fresh ones.

Special equipment: Egg dishes really benefit from the use of a nonstick pan. Teflon-coated pans work really well, but if you’re leery of the coating, use a well-seasoned cast iron pan instead.

Game plan: Unlike whole butter, clarified butter can be cooked at a high temperature without burning. Make the clarified butter needed for this recipe the day before, or earlier; it keeps indefinitely in the fridge. To clarify, melt 4 sticks (1 pound) of unsalted butter in a small, deep saucepan over medium-low heat until a layer of white foam forms on the top. Remove the pan from heat and spoon off the foam. Strain the clear liquid into a jar, discarding any solids or foam. Cover the liquid and refrigerate or freeze.

You’ll also need to roast the tomatoes ahead of time.

Dukkah

Dukkah is used as a seasoning for lamb stew. Pita bread is also dipped in olive oil and then in dukkah. Use dukkah as a crunchy coating for chicken and fish, or sprinkle it over salads along with a little sumac.

  • Time: Depends on cooking method

Dried Fruit Compote w/Lemon & Green Tea

Green tea bags and dried fruit guarantee you won't find your cravings for summer sweetness lacking this winter! Use a mix or go with an individual fruit for a specific dish.

This compote can be made in a crockpot, done in the oven or on the stovetop.

Use for breakfast over granola or quinoa w/ a dollop of plain yogurt or add this compote to pork or chicken for a savory dinner dish.

Depending on the fruit used you can cut or remove the sugar in the recipe to taste though it does assist in the thickening of the compote.

Asian Slaw with Tofu & Shiitake Mushrooms

This recipe makes a delicious change from traditional slaws and excellent salad that can stand alone as a lunch.

For those with SOY ALLERGIES we suggest the following substitutions.

-SO Delicious Soy Sauce alternative.  This fast, make it yourself substitute can be made with organic bullions to avoid MSG or use stock rather than water and leave out the boullion completely.

-Use Seitan to replace Tofu.  We have a great easy to use recipe! If you have a gluten allergy as well substitute your favorite bean, quinoa or chickpeas.

Ingredient Notes: 

Look for heads of napa that are tight, without any browned leaves.

The best bok choy has large dark green leaves and small white stems—more leaf and less stem makes for a less bitter taste.
