This seems to have been in the minds of my clients who have ordered a very simple, low calorie and high flavored, Comfort Food Menu for delivery tomorrow....they are also getting ready to order my pies for their Thanksgiving parties so maybe trying to lose a bit of weight beforehand...lol
The menu for tomorrow's delivery...everything is marinating now overnight ( refrigerated) to develop stronger flavors:
A winter Vegetable soup with noodles..yams, carrots, zucchini, onions, celery, parsley, in a good strong broth (for a better flavored and colored vegetable broth..put all your vegetable peelings apart from potatoes and sweet potatoes, in a pan of boiling water and cook for 30 mins.
Strain, season with salt & pepper, herbs and spices of choice).
Then add the soup raw vegetables and cook for 40 mins in high simmer, skimming as necessary.
Add the noodles during the last 20 mins of cooking.
Test for seasonings and serve hot with more fresh parsley
10 Bean and kale soup..very hearty and cooked for a lot longer than the vegetable noodle soup. Completely nutritional dense too.
A fabulous vegetable stew with whole wheat gnocchi.
The gnocchi will be cooked at the client's home.
Green beans, carrots, potatoes, yams, zucchini, carrots, garlic, tomatoes, onions, celery..again this one is cooked slowly and the base is carrots, celery, garlic and onions in a tomato broth..this is cooked for 30 mins before adding more vegetable stock and then all the vegetables except the green beans and zucchini which are added during the last 20 mins of cooking
Mashed carrots, yams and white potatoes (skins on)..mashed with dairy butter and salt and pepper..fabulous and very very healthy
Have a wonderful day, John Nigel
