Prep aration

Combine the cooked, pulsed cauliflower with the quinoa, seasonings, salt, breadcrumbs, Garlic and Herb cheese and eggs. Form 10 patties.
In an oiled or nonstick pan over medium heat, cook the burgers until golden brown on each side, flipping very carefully to avoid breaking. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
In an oiled pan over medium heat, combine the mushrooms, onions and roasted garlic & pepper seasonings and cook until desired taste.

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 cup feta , softened
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 egg, beaten
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 pound asparagus, woody ends trimmed off
1 bundle fresh microgreens
1/2 cup tzatziki, whisked with a little lemon juice and water
1 tablespoon olive oil
freshly ground black pepper and sea salt

P reparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the puff pastry to baking sheet-sized rectangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Combine the feta, egg, and lemon zest, and then fold in the fresh herbs. Spread over the puff pastry, leaving a ¾-inch border. Carefully score the border of the pastry with the tip of a paring knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Toss the asparagus with the olive oil in a bowl. Lay out the asparagus in a neat row across the surface of the tart. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until the border of the tart is deep golden and puffed and the top is lightly spotted golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whisk tzatziki with ½ cup water until thinned to the consistency of a light dressing. Top the tart with microgreens and a drizzle of tzatziki blend. Cut with a serrated knife and serve.
Enjoy!

Carrot and Microgreen Risotto

A fun riff on the classic peas and carrots. Easy to make and fun to eat!

Ingredients

Carrot Risotto with Carrot Microgreens

1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Carrots diced ¼ “
½ cup Leek white and light green parts only, diced ¼”
Pinch Saffron
1 Bay Leaf
1.5 c Arborio Rice
¾ cup Dry White Wine Unoaked
3 cup Carrot Juice
3 cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth heated
1 cup Grated Parmesan 100 g
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
Carrot Microgreens optional
Sea Salt and Fresh Pepper to taste

Microgreen Garnish

1 tbsp Champagne Vinegar
2 tbsp Olive Oil
¼ tsp each, Salt and Sugar Fine sea salt and granulated sugar
Fresh ground pepper to taste
2 cup Mixed mild microgreens such as Pea, Chard, Beet or Sunflower gently washed and dried in a salad spinner or tea towel.

Preparation

In a large saucepan, heat oil on medium. Once hot, add carrots, leeks, saffron and bay leaf. Stir frequently until leeks are translucent and then stir in rice.
After stirring rice for 1 minute, stir in wine and turn heat to medium-low until it is absorbed and evaporated. Then start alternating carrot juice and hot broth 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until each cup is absorbed before adding more. This stirring process will create the creamy texture of the risotto and the carrot juice will form the sauce as it reduces.
Test for doneness (al dente) after about 20-30 minutes, you may not need all the broth. (Rice should feel/taste cooked but not too mushy.) Cook longer if needed but it shouldn't need much longer than 30 minutes.
Remove bay leaf, turn heat off and stir in parmesan and butter until melted. Season to taste with salt, pepper and carrot microgreens if using. Serve topped with Pea Microgreen Salad.
Mix vinegar, oil, salt, sugar and pepper together in a medium size bowl. Add microgreens, toss gently and pile on top of risotto to serve.
