Take leftover risotto, form into cakes, dredge in seasoned bread crumbs, brush with olive oil, and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 min.

Quick weekday meal.



We’ve been getting some small thin carrots from the farmer’s market. We give ‘em a scrub, toss ‘em with oil and zataar, and throw them into a 425 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes.

We have really been enjoying escarole this winter — a vegetable I had not previously had a lot of cooking experience with. For this delicious winter sauce, we sauteed onions, garlic, olives, capers, canned tomatoes, wine, and escarole together, and then added parsley and pepper.
