Romanesco Broccoli, Beautiful!

Look what I found! It’s called a Romaneso and it’s a broccoli/cauliflower. It is bright green in color, has amazing fractal patterns and tastes like….broccoli and cauliflower.

I steamed this bad boy last night for about 7-8min using a vegetable broth then topped it with grass-fed butter, a little sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. It was not only delish but fun to prepare, a great way to change things up! This complimented seasoned Tilapia and Couscous quite nicely.

Find this at Natural Grocers right now for $3.99/lb

Sauteed Veggies with Rainbow Chard

wpid-PhotoGrid_1389759119346.jpg

I’ve been meal prepping for a while and the usual suspects in my sauteed veggies are zucchini, crimini mushrooms, yellow onions, garlic, poblano pepper and spinach or kale. I like adding herbs like cilantro or basil or fennel seed and spices like turmeric, pepper, sea salt, garam marsala or cayenne. 

Today, I’m switching things up a bit and cooking with Rainbow Chard for the first time this week! In the pic you’ll see a beautiful batch of a new kind of sauteed veggies along with protein! This includes:

  • 2tbsp of coconut oil
  • 6 purple potatoes
  • 1 Poblano Pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • handful of baby carrots
  • 2 zucchinis
  • handful of crimini mushrooms
  • 2 bundles of scallions
  • 2 rainbow chard leaves
  • cilantro, sea salt & pepper

This yields about 6 cups. For protein, I’ve got 1lb of ground chicken (4 servings) & 1lb of shrimp (4 servings)!

An all organic meal for days!
