Michael Hovan's Kale Soup
"Cheesy" Kale Soup
Argent
Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup yellow split peas
1 onion, chopped
1 cup mushrooms,sliced
2 cups carrot juice
15 ounces tomato sauce, no salt added or low
sodium
1 1/2 pounds kale, tough stems and center ribs
removed and leaves coarsely chopped
1/4 cup cashew butter
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, or more to taste
Instructions:
In a pressure cooker, cover yellow split peas with
about 2 1/2 cups of water and cook on high pressure for 6-8 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients except cashew butter and
cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Release pressure and blend soup with
cashew butter.
Sprinkle with nutritional yeast before serving.
To make without a pressure cooker:
Precook the split peas until soft. Combine cooked
split peas with all remaining ingredients except cashew butter. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until kale is tender (about 15 minutes).
Add water as needed to achieve desired consistency. Stir in cashew
butter. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast before serving.
Diane Rosin's Flat Iron Marinated Steak
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chopped scallions (white & green parts)
1-1/2 Tablespoons sesame oil
Combine all ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add one pound
flat iron steak (or flank steak) trimmed of excess fat. Seal bag and
refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Grill steak until desired degree
of doneness (6-10 minutes on both sides).
All of the steaks I had Saturday evening were over 1.5 pounds and this
was more than enough marinade. I think George cooked them for 15
minutes total.
