Kale Salad

Welcome back! 
Today, we got a refreshing kale salad! This is different from the other types of salad that we usually eat, and although it was different, it was actually really nice. It's very cool and relaxing to eat, which is a little strange, but it's healthy and you feel good after eating it. Once again, this is recipe where you can pretty much add anything in your pantry or fridge, just as long as there's kale.

Kale Salad

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients:

Salad:
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1/4 small onion
  • 1/4 cup corn
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 mangos
Dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Prepare the kale:
    1. Wash it thoroughly, remove the stems, then drain.
    2. Chop the kale into small pieces
    3. Spray with some olive oil
    4. Massage the leaves for a couple minutes to soften the kale
  2. Prepare your toppings, just chop everything into chunks of similar size to the kale
  3. Prepare the dressing: mix everything until it becomes one smooth liquid
  4. Put the dressing in the salad with your toppings, toss, and enjoy!
    We served with some nice, cheesy bread
That's just what we did, but there's so much more that you can do! For other vegetables, you could use red onion or broccoli, for other fruit, you could use cranberries or apples, or you could add some nuts like almonds or walnuts. Some other kale salad recipes use cheese; for this, feta or cheddar cheese works best. You could also add cilantro and remove the dijon mustard to give it more of a Tex-Mex feel! This is a great recipe for customization!

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake

Welcome back!  Today, we have a cake featuring an interesting fruit: the fig! Figs are typically eaten dried or in some processed form because they don't stay fresh for long, so making this dish out of fresh figs was quite nice. Once completed, the fig flavor blends in very well with the rest of the cake and creates a dessert that is flavorful but not overly rich. Fig Crème Fraîche Cake Makes a 9" cake Ingredients: 1/2 pound figs, quartered (if you have big figs, maybe 6-8 slices) 120 grams cake flour 50 grams almond flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 50 grams sugar 60 grams honey 120 grams crème fraîche 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier 1/2 cup melted butter Directions: In a bowl, sift in the dry ingredients (cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt).

Instant Pot Leg of Lamb

Welcome back!  Today, we have another lamb recipe, this time for a different cut. It has the similar lamb flavor and also features the key ingredient of rosemary, but this recipe works nicely as a stew, so it's rather different from the other two. Fun fact, Greece is the top consumer of sheep meet per capita in the world, which makes sense as lamb is a common Mediterranean meat. Rosemary also originates from the Mediterranean, so it's a perfect combination!  Instant Pot Leg of Lamb Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 4-5 pounds lamb leg (boneless) 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 sprigs of rosemary and thyme, chopped Salt and pepper to taste 1 1/2 cup total of chicken stock and/or water (we used 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup dry white wine) Other vegetables: potatoes, carrots, zucchini 2 tablespoons cornstarch A little water Directions: Dry the lamb with a paper towel. Then, tie it with some twine to keep everything together Season the lamb by rub...
