-1 head of Deardorff Organics Cauliflower, riced (add pieces of florets into food processor a little at at time, until rice consistency)
-2 tbsp. Deardorff Organics Cilantro, chopped
-1/2 yellow onion, diced
-2 cloves garlic, chopped
-Juice from 1/2 lime
-salt and pepper to taste
-2 tbsp. Olive Oil

Add olive oil to pan, and cook onions and garlic just until onions are translucent. Then add your riced cauliflower and cook about 6-8 mins until tender. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt/pepper, and enjoy!

• 1 head green cabbage, cut into 1″ thick slices;

• 3 tbsp. olive oil

• 5 garlic cloves, minced;

• Salt/garlic salt and pepper to taste

​

Preheat oven to 400 F. Brush both sides of each cabbage slice with the olive oil. 

Spread the garlic evenly on each side of the cabbage slices, and season them to taste with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes; then turn the slices over and roast them again for another 20 minutes or until the edges are crispy.

1.5 pounds tomatillos

1/2 yellow onion, broken into large chunks

2 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed 

4-5 garlic cloves, not peeled

Juice from 1 lime

Handful of Deardorff Organics cilantro

salt/garlic salt to taste

​

Turn oven to broil.

Peel off and discard skin from tomatillos and wash the tomatillos. Cut jalapenos in half and scoop out the seeds. Add tomatillos, 1/2 onion (peeled) garlic (not peeled) and jalapenos to metal pan.  Drizzle on olive oil and salt and toss with veggies. 

​

Broil on High until veggies begin to turn brown and blister, about 10 minutes. 

Remove from oven and add everything to a blender. Your garlic should squeeze easily out of the skin. Add the lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Blend and taste to adjust any ingredients. 

​

• 2 cups torn Deardorff Organics kale (leaves only) and Deardorff Organics parsley

• ½ cup olive oil

• Salt to taste

• 1 garlic clove

• juice from one lemon

• ¼ to ½ cup raw almonds

Pulse kale, oil, garlic, salt, and lemon juice in food processor until smooth. Add almonds and pulse until at desired consistency. 

½ lb. shishito peppers

Olive oil

Salt/garlic salt/pepper

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Heat oil in large pan, add peppers on high heat, and cook until peppers begin to blister. Toss peppers a couple times so they blister on both sides. It only takes a few minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add your seasonings and squeeze of fresh lemon juice. *these are very mild peppers with almost no heat! 

• 1/2 C fresh lime juice

• 1/3 C olive Oil

• 1/2 C Deardorff Organics cilantro-chopped fine

• 4 garlic cloves, chopped

• 7-10 pickled jalapenos rings, chopped small, and splash of the juice (Mezetta brand or similar)

• salt/pepper to taste

• red pepper flakes

whisk everything in a bowl, and pour over your chicken (I had chicken in a Ziploc and added marinade to this) for a couple hours or overnight.

• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (comes in a can or jar, near the jarred peppers) OR 2 tsp. dried chipotle powder 

• 2 tsp onion powder

• 2 tsp parsley, dried

• Salt/pepper

• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded

• 1 green onion, chopped

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 lime, squeezed

• Squeeze of lemon 

• few sprigs of cilantro

• 1 tsp honey

• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

• ​1 cup plain Greek yogurt

​

Add all ingredients to a food processor, except the yogurt (it will get too frothy if you add yogurt and blend too much). The ingredients will form a dark, thicker paste. Use a spatula to scoop this mixture to a small bowl, then add the yogurt and gently stir until it turns a light color, similar to a 1000 Island dressing. 

​*This is a somewhat spicy dip, so add just 1 chipotle pepper/ less jalapeno if you want it milder. 

Great as a veggie dip, with potatoes, french fries,  rice, chicken, or even on a salad.

• 6-7  medium tomatoes, cored and roughly cut in 4 pieces

• 1/3 yellow onion, peeled and broken into pieces

• 4-5 garlic cloves, leave skin on

• 1/2 bunch Deardorff Organics Cilantro 

• Juice from 1/2 lemon

• Salt/pepper to taste

• Cumin-about 1 tsp

• Pickled jalapeno peppers- La Costena and Mezetta brands are good. Use some of the juice as well.

​

Set oven to broil. Place tomatoes, onion, and whole garlic on pan and drizzle little olive oil and salt. Broil on Hi for about 15-20 mins until veggies begin to brown and crisp.

When done, but in blender (squeeze garlic out of skin, should slide right out) along with salt/pepper/lemon juice/cumin/peppers. Blend until smooth.

Then add cilantro and blend just a few seconds so it’s still leaves cilantro in pieces. Then taste and see what else it may need! I usually add more salt and peppers.  It gets better as it sits in fridge for a bit.

Dressing:

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 2 teaspoons honey

• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• black pepper to taste

• 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Salad:

• 3 hearts of romaine

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, or 1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped

• 1 Tomato

•  Extra blue cheese crumbles

In a small to medium bowl add minced garlic, honey, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Add in blue cheese and, using fork tines or small food processor, smash into the sauce until partially smooth. It is not necessary to remove all the lumps, but the mixture should become thick. Using a slow, thin stream, pour in olive oil while whisking to incorporate until all olive oil is emulsified into the dressing. Set aside.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cut romaine hearts in half, leaving the root ball on to hold them together. Brush lightly with olive oil. Place heads down on grill, grilling 3 minutes on each side until slightly browned.

Drizzle grilled romaine hearts with dressing. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and bacon or pecans.

Pour dressing over kale and massage into leaves with your hands until all pieces of kale are coated.

Let the salad sit in the fridge for an hour or so to marinate. You can skip this step if you need to eat right away, but allowing some time to marinate will wilt the kale a bit and make it easier to eat.

Sprinkle on some sesame seeds and red pepper flakes before serving and enjoy!
