We are almost to the time when popping bits of chocolate into a lovers mouth or sprinkling it on salads just makes sense. Hmm… Guessing I lost a few of you with that salad thing. Before you call me a hippie as a chef friend once did when I told her my love of putting cacao nibs in salads, please know the naturally unsweetened superfood deserves more savory applications. This is why you most certainly should enjoy this lovely Cocoa Vinaigrette on either the Cacao Nib Beet Slaw or the Warm Cacao Chard & Apple Salad. Now, if that sounds too girlie or vegan, try the Peppercorn Crusted Steak with the Cabernet Cocoa Sauce and Cherry Chili Chard.
Of course, you can make it sweet too! I was recently inspired to make Nutella for the Food Swap I help organize here in Tucson. As I researched the possibilities, I learned that February 5th is actually Nutella Day. Which means, quick, buy some hazelnuts and start celebrating this week! Spread the Nutella on Almond Pancakes, too. Make a big batch of pancakes that can be frozen and enjoyed throughout the week.
While you are putting together your shopping list, buy extra apples and hazelnuts for the Caramelized Onion Apple & Hazelnut Salad with a steamy bowl of Roasted Cauliflower Soup.
A simple, elegant Grapefruit Salmon with Avocado Cream will delight for a seasonal weeknight meal and leftover salmon can be whipped into an easy lunch of Avocado Tahini Salmon Salad, too. Simply add a touch of tahini to the leftover Avocado Cream.
Next week marks the start of Chinese New Year, which makes this week the perfect time to practice Chinese Tea Eggs with a simple lunch salad of Bok Choy Slaw. The Mu Shu Veggie Wraps with Tofu Sticks are an ideal week day dinner, while the Chinese Omelette can appear both for dinner or for a quick breakfast.
