The naturally gluten free Amaretti cookies make for a beautiful, unique crispy coating for ham. Apricot jam and mustard are combine to coat on the mostly cooked ham, then the simple crust is sprinkled all over the ham.
Italian amaretti cookies are crushed and blended into this simple squash gratin to create a slightly sweet, totally savory gratin that I personally am a tad addicted to. Or at least, I find myself eating more and more when it is gracing our table. Serve it as the main show or as a side dish for fancy meal. Roast the squash in advance or even use roasted canned squash instead. Make this dairy free by skipping the cheese and grease the pan with your preferred oil. The cookies are naturally gluten-free.
Turnips and greens- they are a two for one special, but if you can’t get the leaves attached, simply substitute chard or kale. This recipe sweetens up the slightly bitter vegetable by bringing out its natural sugars. First, caramelize the turnips with onions and a hint of fresh ginger. Next, the greens are sauteed alongside with a splash of lemon which lends a bit of acidic sweetness to their bitter bite.
Simple, creamy white goodness. Ultimate comfort food. Plan on about one big potato per serving. Add one or two extra potatoes to the grand total if you have a small gathering to guarantee enough for big eaters. Make this vegan or dairy free by substituting a flavorful broth, such as the no-chicken vegetable broth. Also, use a young, tasty extra-virgin olive oil you reserve for salad dressings, instead of the butter.
