Recipe Sifter

A vegetarian version of Eggs Benedict that replaces the typical ham with spicy Arugula (called Rocket in the UK and Australia).

From across Northern Italy there are many variations. A rich broth, juicy Italian tomatoes and rich herb simmered for a long time. I used a mixture of sliced mushrooms from my local supermarket and dried lobster, oyster and shitake mushrooms. Then used the mushroom juice in place of chicken broth. Outstanding reduction of rich comfort flavors.

This light yet tasty Chinese veggie salad is made with bean sprouts, lotus root, carrot, cucumber, black mushrooms, and tofu sheet, then tossed with a soy-rice vinegar-sesame oil dressing.

An Italian style pasta salad with well seasoned pasta and perfectly cooked broccoli.

This feta vinaigrette goes very well with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and mixed greens. It adds extra creaminess and tastes refreshingly delicious.

By using both arugula and parsley brings double refreshing taste into the pesto, ricotta adds the extra moisture and creaminess without overwhelming the parmesan, and the toasted walnuts makes the pesto taste nutty and fragrant. Toss it with pasta, or use it as a base on the pizza!

This easy to prepare dish is an ideal dinner for busy weekdays. It's loaded with goodness. Feel free to use broccoli to replace asparagus.

Load up on your power vegetables, sweet potatoes and sweet red bell pepper in this satisfying pasta main dish.
