Recipes From Heather Busigs Kitchen
Pasta with garlicky broccoli raab (from Smitten Kitchen), serves 4-6, time: 30 minutes. Ingredients: 1 lb pasta, any chunky shape, 1 lb broccoli raab (heavy stems removed, remaining stems and leaves cut into 1-2 inch sections, matching the pasta length), 1/2 cup olive oil, 5 garlic cloves peeled and minced (or 5-6 tsp minced green garlic), 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or more/less to taste), about 1 heaping tsp kosher salt (or more/less to taste), grated parmesan or roman cheese for serving. Directions: Bring a huge pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta an 5 minutes before it’s cooking time is up, add the broccoli raab. It will seem like too much for the water, but with a stir or two, the raab should wilt and cook alongside the pasta. Drain the rabe and pasta together and pour into a serving bowl. In the same pot or a tiny one, heat the oil with the garlic, pepper flakes and salt over moderate heat, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes, until the garlic is lightly golden. Pour mixture over pasta and toss to evenly coat. Shower with freshly grated cheese and eat promptly.
Spicy No-Mayo Coleslaw (from Mark Bittman, How to Cook Everything, vegetarian): serves 8, time: 30 minutes. Ingredients: 2 TBSP Dijon mustard, 2 TBSP sherry or red wine vinegar, 1 small clove garlic, minced (or 2 tsp minced green garlic), 1 TPSP minced fresh chile (jalapeño, Thai, serrano or habanero), or to taste (optional), 1/4 cup peanut oil or extra virgin olive oil, 6 cups cored and shredded Napa, Savoy, green and/or red cabbage, 1 large red or yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced, 1/3 cup diced scallion, 1/4 cup minced parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Directions: Whisk the mustard, vinegar, garlic and chile together in a small bowl. Add the oil a little at a time while continuing to whisk. 2. Combine the cabbage, pepper and scallion and toss with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve. (best if it rests for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours, just drain the slaw before continuing). Toss with parsley before serving.
