Vegetable Stew with Dried Lime served with a Baked Black Chickpea Pancake

This is one of the most healthful and comforting menus that I make. This stew recipe slow cooks vegetables and pairs them with fresh herbs and citrus to make a delicous and comforting dish without much fat and no animal products. The chickpea pancake is nutty and satifying, simple to make and also entirley vegan and gluten free. The exact vegetables used in the stew are wildly flexible to what is in season, available and to your tastes. This menu is truly all over the global map.

Ride your Bike to Coney Island Salad

I originally published this salad recipe on August 8th, 2010. It was the seventh recipe we posted! The original blog post said “One morning, Silvi and I ate this salad for breakfast and then rode our bike’s from Queens to Coney Island.” I have not riden my bike to Coney Island in a long time, but I still like to make this salad for breakfast when I need to feel fortified and hydrated for a long NYC summer day.
