Slightly spiced, these pears are melted together with a touch of ground ginger. Feel free to peel the pears. We keep them on for the bit of extra fiber.
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.
Ginger + basil become a beautiful base to this simple Cantaloupe Soup. It is perfect as a starting appetizer or as an easy side dish. Also, it is as easy as making a smoothie, but makes you look all fancy-schmancy when you serve it. Fresh ginger* can vary depending on where it was grown. If you hesitate around spice, start with half of the ginger and add more to taste. If your melon is crazy sweet, the honey will be completely unnecessary.
My daughter and I created this smoothie together. She loves candied ginger, which we added, although a smaller amount of fresh ginger could also work. We have actually tried it with both mint and basil, both work beautifully. Adding soda water or seltzer gives it a fun sparkle, but your favorite milk would work too especially to make creamier. We have made this often enough that I have also snuck in yellow summer squash, which she likes to tell me she doesn’t like zucchini, but blends in perfectly without much notice. Add it or not, but whatever you do, don’t tell her about it! ;-)
Seared steaks of calamari are drizzled with a creamy ginger-coconut sauce. Calamari cooks quickly and is fairly affordable, so try this healthy protein at home especially with this rich & tasty sauce. Sweet white rice flour also known as mochiko makes a lovely crust on the calamari steaks, but your favorite all-purpose flour should work well.
Try this with the Lemon-Ginger Cauliflower
