Roasted nuts/2 recipes

There are many variations of classic Mexican tortilla soup. In this vegetarian version (feel free to substitute chicken for the tofu for a non-veg version) the rich broth is flavored with earthy ancho (New Mexican) chillies and made more filling by adding some kale that retains it's texture well in a hot soup.

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

Bitter winter greens made incredibly tasty. The collards are quickly braised to tame any bitterness then mixed with crispy prosciutto, garlic and cayenne pepper for a bit of kick and lemon for a bit of brightness. Healthy winter greens for a solid deep south down-home flair.
