Potato and Collard Green Hash
INGREDIENTS
1large bunch collard greens, about 1 1/2 pounds, stemmed and washed in 2 changes of water
Salt to taste
3tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1onion, sliced very thin in half-moons
2to 4 garlic cloves, green shoots removed, sliced thin
¼to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
¾pound yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as Yukon gold
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the collard greens. Blanch for four minutes, and transfer to the ice water with a slotted spoon or skimmer. Drain and squeeze out extra water. Chop coarsely. Set aside the cooking water.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat in a wide, lidded skillet or Dutch oven, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about five minutes. Stir in the collard greens. Mix together for a few minutes, and then add 1 cup of the cooking water and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover partially, and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring often and adding more cooking water from time to time, so that the greens are always simmering in a small amount of liquid.
While the greens are cooking, scrub the potatoes and add to the pot with the cooking water. Bring back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the cooking water, and allow to cool slightly so that you can peel them if you wish. Cut them into large chunks.
Uncover the greens, and add the potatoes. Using a fork or the back of a wooden spoon, crush the potatoes and stir into the greens. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste, and stir over low heat until the greens and potatoes are well combined. The potatoes should not be like mashed potatoes, just crushed and intermingled with the greens, like hash. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.

Mushroom and rice stuffed collard greens
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped and divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz. button mushrooms, diced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 tsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
6 large collard green leaves
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Saute half of onion until tender, and then add garlic and cook another minute. Stir in mushrooms, red pepper,
thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are brown and soft. Combine mushrooms with rice and set aside.
Add 1 tsp oil to the same skillet and saute the remaining half of the onion until tender. Then add garlic, cook an additional minute, and stir in tomatoes, basil, and salt and pepper. Let this simmer for 20 min.
Remove the end of the stem (past the leaf) from each collard green. Then fold each one in half length-wise so that the tough stem is on the outside. Trim some of the stem off, being careful not to cut leaf. Then plunge the leaves into a large pot of boiling water for 1-2 min, until tender. Remove from water and let cool for a few minutes.
Add about 1/4 cup sauce to the bottom of a medium baking dish. Assemble rolls by placing about 1/2 cup of mushroom and rice mixture at one end of a collard leaf and rolling it, folding ends in as you go. Place each roll in the prepared pan and top with remaining sauce. Bake at 350 for 30 min. Serves 3.

StartFragmentUpside Down Pear and Apple TartEndFragment
Ingredients
1 package frozen puff pastry
3 gala apples
3 Bartlett pears
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vanilla ice cream, optional
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove puff pastry from freezer to defrost.
Step 2
Peel, core and quarter apples and pears. Toss with lemon juice.
Step 3
Cream together butter, sugar, ginger and salt. Spread mixture on bottom and sides of a 10-inch round thick-bottomed flameproof and ovenproof baking pan or skillet.
Step 4
Place apple and pear wedges skinned side down in alternating concentric circles on top of butter mixture. (Cut any extra pieces to fill in gaps and pack tightly since tart will shrink when baked.)
Step 5
Place pan over medium-high heat and cook fruit for about 20 minutes or until butter mixture begins to brown. Remove pan from heat; cool slightly.
Step 6
On a floured surface, lightly roll out one sheet of puff pastry and cut out a 10-inch round using base of a 10-inch tart pan or a stencil. Using a fork, poke holes all over pastry. Place pastry on top of fruit in pan, tucking in outer edges to seal.
Step 7
Bake tart until pastry turns golden, about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Remove tart from oven and let cool for about 20 minutes. While pan is still warm, remove tart: Place a plate over top of pan and, holding plate firmly, invert pan quickly onto plate; remove pan. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Per Serving262 calories
Fat18 g
Carbs22 g
Protein5 g
Ingredients
2 cups baby red potatoes (sliced into halves)
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups white mushroom (sliced)
1 cup red onions (roughly chopped)
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste
¼ cup white sesame seeds
1 tbsp. fresh thyme
½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 ½ cups water
¼ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp chili powder
1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
Preheat oven at 375 degree Fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet with a greased liner/parchment paper.
Place the sliced potatoes on the cookie sheet and put it in the middle rack of the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
In the meanwhile heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a nonstick pan and sauté mushrooms.
If the mushrooms dry up spray it with cooking spray to moisten the mushrooms. Cook them until nice golden brown in color.
While the mushrooms are cooking, combine onion, tomato paste, ginger garlic paste and sesame seeds into the food processor and grind smooth.
Once the mushrooms are cooked take them out in a bowl and add another 1 tbsp. olive oil in the same pan.
Now add thyme and cilantro to the warm oil.
Immediately add the sesame seeds paste to it and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the paste starts sticking to the pan.
Now add water to it, mix very well and boil for couple of minutes.
Add turmeric powder, salt and chili powder to the pan and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes again.
Now add coconut milk and mix very well. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Lastly, fold in potatoes and mushrooms and gently mix. Cook for another couple of minutes.
Turn off the flame and serve warm with steamed rice or naan.
Notes
½ of whole red onion equals to 1 cups roughly chopped onion for this recipe. If this curry left for long it might thicken a little in that case just add little coconut milk according to desired consistency and adjust the seasonings. Regular milk can also be used in this recipe in the same measurement.

Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa
Prep 45 m
Cook 10 m
Ready In 1 h 55 m
"Don't let the list of ingredients fool you: this is super-easy, and gets rave reviews whenever I serve it. The salsa can be made the day ahead to save time. Strawberries can be substituted for the mango if you prefer--both are excellent! Combine leftover salsa with some drained black beans the next day for lunch."
Ingredients
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley, garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the tilapia fillets, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Prepare the mango salsa by combining the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
Remove the tilapia from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the fillets until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve the tilapia topped with mango salsa.
