Harissa Eggs in Purgatory

This simple egg dish, simmered in a fiery tomato sauce can feel like heaven if you need a quick inexpensive meal with a kick.

I bought a jar of Mina Harissa^[1] on Amazon^[2], a bright red Moroccan condiment that can be used with couscous, vegetables, meats or whatever you want, and my first thought was Eggs in Purgatory. It’s spicy and flavorful, made of a blend of six simple ingredients; red chili pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and salt which also comes in a paste.

This is the type of dish you can have for breakfast, lunch or dinner (Hello Meatless Mondays). Serve with with crusty bread, or any type of grain and call it a meal or double the portion and skip the starch if you are following a low carb or paleo diet.

Asian Vegetable Stir Fry

by Pam on February 6, 2014

I wanted a healthy veggie side dish to serve with the Ginger-Sesame Pork Chops^[1] that I was making for dinner. I grabbed red bell pepper, snow peas, broccoli, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms. I simply sautéed them in a little bit of canola oil and sesame oil and seasoned with crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. I cooked them until they were still crisp-tender and bright & colorful. My kids loved these veggies with soy sauce drizzled on top.

Heat the canola oil, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes in a large sauté pan. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms; cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes. Add the snow peas and carrot; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the minced garlic then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste and cook, stirring constantly, for 30-45 seconds. Remove from the heat and pour veggies into a serving bowl.

Black Bean Soup with Bacon and Giveaway Winner!

by Pam on December 9, 2012

I was in the mood for soup today so I went in search of what was in my refrigerator. I decided to keep it simple and make a black bean soup. I usually toss in some chorizo but I didn’t have any so I decided to use bacon instead. I also added sweet potato, red pepper, onion, carrot, and celery to make it extra hearty and flavorful. After the soup simmered for a couple of hours, I blended most of it up with my immersion blender then ladled it into serving bowls. I topped each bowl with cilantro, green onion, avocado, cotija cheese, sour cream, and diced tomato. It was extremely flavorful and utterly delicious. My kids ate every last drop of their soup and my husband & I both loved it and look forward to the leftovers tomorrow for lunch.

Place a large Dutch oven on the stove and heat up over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook, until it golden brown; remove and place on a paper towel; crumble into bits. Wipe out all but 1-2 teaspoons of bacon grease. Add the sweet potato, red pepper, onion, carrot, and celery to the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, cumin, chile powder, oregano, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the drained & rinsed black beans, chicken broth, bacon bits, lime juice, bay leaf, and molasses. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Remove the bay leaf from the pot of soup then blend with an immersion blender for a minute or so. Taste and re-season if needed. Ladle soup into bowls then top each bowl of soup with fresh cilantro, green onion, avocado, cotija cheese, sour cream, and diced tomato. Serve & enjoy.
