Meal 1
Potato and Collard Green Hash

Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times
Potatoes and greens are a classic, rustic combination, and a very comforting one. The greens are blanched, and then cooked with onion and garlic. After a while, cooked potatoes are added and crushed into the greens. The dish isn’t like mashed potatoes, more like a hash. Serve it as a side dish with fish or chicken, or with other vegetable dishes.
INGREDIENTS
1 large bunch collard greens, about 1 1/2 pounds, stemmed and washed in 2 changes of water
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, sliced very thin in half-moons
2 to 4 garlic cloves, green shoots removed, sliced thin
¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
¾ pound 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.

Delicious side dish or light meal of roasted mushrooms on herbed quinoa, topped with toasted pepitas and olive oil! Recipe yields 4 generous side servings.
INGREDIENTS
Roasted Mushrooms:
16 ounces Baby Bella mushrooms
1 tablespoon SimplyNature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Herbed Quinoa;
1 cup SimplyNature Organic Quinoa, rinsed in a fine-mesh colander
2 cups water
1/2 cup Priano Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, green parts only
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon SimplyNature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling on top
2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons toasted pepitas
INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare the mushrooms: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (the rim is important, as the mushrooms release a lot of juices while roasting—use a large baking dish if you don’t have a rimmed baking sheet).
Quarter the large mushrooms, halve the medium mushrooms, leave small mushrooms whole, and place them all onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over them and sprinkle the salt on top. Toss until the mushrooms are evenly coated in oil. Roast until the mushrooms are tender and somewhat condensed in size, about 15 to 18 minutes, tossing halfway.
Meanwhile, to cook the quinoa: Combine the rinsed quinoa and water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat a bit to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer.
Remove the pot from heat, cover, and let the quinoa steam for 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Add the Parmesan, most of the parsley (reserve about 1 tablespoon for garnish), green onions, garlic, salt and olive oil. Stir to combine, then add 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice to the mixture and black pepper, both to taste.
To assemble, pour the quinoa into a small serving platter or medium serving bowl. Top with the roasted mushrooms and their extra juices, then sprinkle pepitas and the remaining parsley on top. Finally, finish the dish with a light drizzle of olive oil over the mushrooms. This dish is best when fresh, but leftovers keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

SAUTÉED COLLARDS WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Dinner is not greener on the other side when you’re cooking with collards! So, sauté some collards with Portobello mushrooms and live the high life!
If you are stuck on spinach and broccoli as a side or your main green vegetable, it’s time to shake things up a bit! The next time you are at your local grocery store or farmers market, I challenge you to get some collard greens (if they are in season and preferably organic). They are a wonderful green to get into the mix as they are a great source of vitamin C and soluble fiber and contain multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties. Also, the fibrous texture of collards makes them great for sautéing and being used as a wrap for burgers and other sandwiches. Hopefully, you can make greens part of your weekly rotation of greens; you won’t regret it!
Sautéed Collards with Portobello Mushrooms
Prep Time
18 min
Total Time
20 min
INGREDIENTS
¾ pound collard greens (6–7 cups chopped)
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1⁄3 cup thinly sliced scallions
2–3 Portobello mushrooms, cut into thin slices
Olive oil to taste at the end
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Wash collards remove stalks and stack 4–5 leaves. Roll like a cigar and slice into thin ribbons.
2. To cook collards, place water in a skillet with a lid. Bring to a boil and add the prepared collards. Cover and cook over high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain in a colander and set aside.
3. Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and scallions and sauté for about 30 seconds. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms and a pinch of sea salt to draw out some liquid. Cook for 5–6 minutes, constantly stirring until mushrooms are tender.
4. Reduce heat to low, stir in cooked collards, cover and cook for 1–2 minutes until hot.
Special tip! To get the stalk/stem out of collards just lay them face side down on a cutting board and run your knife along both sides of the stem. This will help you to remove it to make the collard easier to chop, prep and eat.
