VIRAL ANNA PAUL TURKISH PASTA INSPIRED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Unfortunately the full recipe is too long for the caption, but if you comment RECIPE I will DM it to you!

Here is the INGREDIENT LIST:

1 large head of cauliflower (if you can’t find a large one, use two small)
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp Aleppo pepper, divided
1 tsp smoked paprika, divided
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp sumac
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Kosher salt
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped mint
2 small lemons
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
black pepper
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (I prefer 2%)
3 peeled garlic cloves, divided
1/2 small white onion
4 tbsp butter
1 lb. ground beef (chuck is ideal, but something leaner will work too)

P. S. My oldest sister lived in Turkey for over a decade so I created the spice blend from food memories of visiting her there. I didn’t use the actual @annapaul recipe, but took inspo from the many variations I saw online!

#ad Huge thanks to @baptisthealthsf for such a lively and informative experience at The Heart of Cooking!

I had the best time learning how to keep our hearts healthy—Miami style!

Here are a few key takeaways, concisely stated in @baptisthealthsf’s “Life’s Essential 8 to a Healthy Heart”:

- Control Cholesterol
- Eat Better
- Get Active
- Get Healthy Sleep
- Lose Weight
- Manage Blood Pressure
- Reduce Blood Sugar
- Stop Smoking

While we all love getting recipes online, there is nothing like having a portable, thoughtfully compiled collection of recipes in the form of a cookbook.

This Valentine’s Day, why not treat yourself to something beautiful and useful, like my recently published cookbook, SALAD WHISPERER?

It’s full of innovative salads that go beyond bagged lettuce and bottled dressing but are still simple and use easily found ingredients. If you are looking to level up your salad game, then this book is for you!

Comment BOOK, and I will DM you the link to purchase!

RECIPE BELOW!
Broccoli Lentil and Avocado Salad
(Serves 4)

2 cups cooked lentils (black or puy lentils preferably)
1 1b. broccoli florets
1-2 avocados, sliced
3 radishes, julienned
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dill
3-4 oz feta, crumbled (I prefer Sheep’s milk)
Kosher Salt
black pepper
Creamy Scallion Dressing (recipe below)
1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds

Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling salty water (use about 1 tbsp salt per quart of water) for 30-40 seconds, then immediately transfer the vegetables to an ice bath (don’t skimp on the ice) to halt the cooking process and preserve the vibrant green color. Once cold, drain the broccoli and pat dry gently with a kitchen towel (or salad will be soggy). Cut the broccoli into 1 inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the lentils, radishes, dill, and feta. Dress, season, and toss. Top with avocado and sunflower seeds.

Creamy Scallion Dressing

10 oz. Greek yogurt
6-8 scallion tops, rinsed well
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
The juice of 1 1/2 lemons
Scant 1/2 tsp sugar
1-3 tbsp cool water
Kosher salt
black pepper

Prepare the dressing by blending together the yogurt, scallion tops, oil, lemon juice, sugar, and 1/2 tsp Kosher salt. Add cool water, 1 tbsp at a time, blending after every addition, to thin to drizzling consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Greek yogurt 6-8 scallion tops, rinsed well 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil The juice of 1 1/2 lemons Scant 1/2 tsp sugar 1-3 tbsp cool water Kosher salt black pepper Prepare the dressing by blending together the yogurt, scallion tops, oil, lemon juice, sugar, and 1/2 tsp Kosher salt. Add cool water, 1 tbsp at a time, blending after every addition, to thin to drizzling consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. #thesaladwhisperer #lentilsalad #saladdressing #broccolisalad #avocadosalad

Don’t rake me over the coals too hard for this! For what it’s worth, I don’t think that everything tastes better in an air fryer. I made my chicken cutlets and tenders in my air fryer and they were too dry for my liking. Salmon works well because it’s an oily fish. P.S. I still get angry when I see someone with a kitchen full of Wolf or Viking appliances cook all their food in an air fryer!

Air Fryer Miso Glazed Salmon
(Makes 3 servings)

1 tablespoon sweet white miso paste
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
3 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, divided
1 1/4 lb. center cut salmon
sesame seeds, for garnish (I prefer black sesame seeds)
sliced scallion, for garnish
1 tbsp chili crisp

In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, rice vinegar, honey and 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil. 
Cut the salmon into 3 evenly sized fillets and place in a small glass dish (I use a glass storage container). Coat the salmon with the miso marinade. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 12 and up to 24 hours. 
Remove salmon from the marinade and wipe gently with a paper towel. You don’t want it to be bone dry, but you don’t want marinade clinging to it.  
Arrange the salmon, evenly spaced, in your air fryer basket. Cook at 400° (F), flipping once halfway through cook time, for 12-14 min, or until your desired degree of doneness. I test the salmon’s doneness using an instant read thermometer: 125–130°F (52–54°C) will give you “medium” (moist and slightly translucent center) salmon and 135°F (57°C) will give you “well-done” (more opaque and firm) salmon. If you prefer the salmon cooked all the way through (I do because I serve it to a small child), cook the salmon to 145°(F), per the USDA recommendation.  
Combine the remaining 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil with 1 tbsp chili crisp, and brush it over the cooked salmon. Garnish with the sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Drizzle remaining sesame oil/chili crisp over rice, if desired.

#ad It’s almost Super Bowl Sunday, or as I like to call it: “the Oscars of finger food”! And while I’m not a betting gal, I’d wager that this year’s snack MVP is going to be these Veggie Packed Buffalo Chicken Salad Tater Tot Cups with @mariesdressing Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing. Full recipe below!

(Makes appx. 24 mini cups with a little leftover chicken salad)

1 lb. bag of tater tots
2-3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled slightly
3 tbsp hot sauce
5 oz. Container of 2% greek yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp EACH onion powder, garlic powder, ground chipotle, paprika, sugar, and Kosher salt and black pepper
2 broccoli stalks (or 3 if they are small), peeled and finely diced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1 small carrot, peeled and finely diced
2 grilled chicken breasts, diced
Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing
sliced chives

Preheat oven to 400° (F) and adjust oven rack to the middle position. Using 2 mini muffin tins, place 2 tater tots into each muffin cup. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tins from the oven and carefully, using a small ramekin or shot glass, press the softened tots into each muffin cup to flatten the tots. Use a tablespoon to press into the tots to make them a little concave, then do same with a teaspoon to depress the tots even more. Sprinkle appx. 1/4 tsp of grated Parmesan into each tater tot cup. Increase the oven temperature to 425° (F). Bake the tater tot cups until brown and crispy, about 15-17 more minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, hot sauce, Greek yogurt, sour cream onion powder, garlic powder, ground chipotle, paprika, sugar and Kosher salt. Add the diced broccoli stalk, celery, carrot and chicken breast. Stir to combine and season the salad to taste with salt and black pepper. Once the tater tot cups have cooled off, spoon a small amount of the chicken salad into the cups, then top with Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing and sliced chives.

Greek Inspired Brussels Sprout Beet and Quinoa Salad
(Serves 6 as a side)

3 medium beets
extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 cups cooked quinoa, cold
8 large Brussels sprouts
4 oz. crumbled Feta
2/3 cup sliced Kalamata olives
1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped dill
Greek Diner Dressing (recipe below)
Black pepper

Preheat oven to 400° (F). Peel the beets, then place on a piece of tin foil. Rub the beets with a little olive oil and season with Kosher salt. Wrap the beets tightly with the foil. Usually I double wrap in foil, to catch any juices that drip out. Place beets on a sheet pan and roast until they can be easily pierced with a fork. This typically takes about an hour, but depends on size.

Smash Brussels Sprouts:
Make a v-shaped cut into the base of each of the Brussels sprouts to remove each core. Smash them one at a time using a sturdy small fry pan. Break Brussels sprouts apart into their individual leaves, wash and dry, then roughly chop the leaves.

Once the beets finish cooking, allow to cool to room temp. Dice the beets into 1/2 in. pieces. Assemble the salad by combining the quinoa, brussels sprouts, olives, parsley, dill and Feta cheese. Top the salad with the beets. Dress the salad to your liking and season to taste.

Greek Diner Dressing
Yield: About 1 cup dressing

2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tbsp capers
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp honey
2/3 cup grapeseed oil (or other neutral flavored oil like avocado)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
black pepper
Kosher Salt

In a large mason jar or deli container, combine the garlic, capers, honey, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar. Using an immersion blender, blend until homogeneous. With the blender motor running, drizzle in the grapeseed oil then olive oil. Add the oregano and season to taste with salt and pepper.

In case you missed it, we started the year with the TEN DAYS OF DRESSINGS, where I shared the recipes and techniques for some of my favorite salad dressings. You can find these recipes at the very top of my profile page. The recipes will be right in the reel captions. Just tap on the reel caption to expand it. If you’ve made one or more of these dressings, I’d love to hear your feedback. Hope your year has been off to a great start! #thesaladwhisperer #saladrecipes #saladrecipe #saladdressing #saladdressingrecipe #saladdressingrecipes

Next Level Caesar Salad
(Serves 4)

1 cup breadcrumbs (homemade are best, but panko or another type of large breadcrumbs work)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2-3/4 tsp seasoned salt (if you don’t have seasoned salt, use scant 1/4 tsp each granulated garlic and smoked paprika, 1/8 tsp sugar and kosher salt to taste)
3 tbsp grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese (the kind that looks like sand works best)
6 oz. block of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
3 Romaine hearts, chopped into bite sized pieces, (to yield about 12 cups), OR 3 heads of little gem lettuce, broken into leaves
One batch Eggless Caesar Dressing (recipe in last reel)
Kosher salt
Black pepper

Preheat oven to 350° (F) and cover two small sheet pans with parchment paper.

Prepare the Cheesy Bread Crumbs: Combine the bread crumbs, olive oil, seasoned salt and 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese. Spread the breadcrumb mixture onto a prepared sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Prepare the Parmesan Frico: Using a micro plane grater, grate your block of Parmesan to directly onto the other prepared sheet pan. You’ll want appx. 1 heaping cup of Parmesan cheese (I eyeball it). Spread the cheese using a spatula. It’s okay to see the paper through the cheese because this will give the frico a “lacy” appearance. Place the sheet pan in oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown at the edges about 7-9 min. Remove from the oven, allow to cool fully, then break into 1-2 inch pieces.

Add lettuce to a large salad bowl with appx. 1/3 cup of dressing, a small pinch of salt, then toss gently. Add 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, toss gently again, then taste. Keep adding dressing and cheese to achieve your desired flavor. Finish with the Cheesy Bread Crumbs and crumbled Parmesan Frico. #thesaladwhisperer #caesarsalad
