Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers

February 3, 2020 No Comments

Ah, the potsticker! Endlessly adaptable and impossible to pass up. Sure, almost every dumpling could be described this way, but I do think the potsticker, with its irresistible crispy bottom, is a special case. The Japanese borrowed the guotie cooking-style to make the gyoza for a reason. But I hesitate to call today’s Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers guotie or gyoza because the filling is far from traditional. So, the Chinese to English translation of the word “guotie” (literally: ‘pot stick’) is probably all these dumplings deserve.

Apparently, the Super Bowl is this weekend and I’m not going to watch it. In all the years I’ve had this blog, I’ve feigned a small amount of interest in the annual sporting event. You know, just for the excuse to make chicken wings or some cooky take on a late-night favorite, but no more. I made these Shawarma Home Fries because they seemed like a good idea and they were so I’m sharing them with you now. Their appearance coinciding with the Super Bowl is purely incidental. I have never enjoyed football but it’s totally cool if you do and if you want to eat these Shawarma Home Fries while you watch the game, so much the better.

Okay, I know, another vegetarian recipe. Honestly, I swear there’s no agenda behind this meat-free spree. These last three recipes have been an accurate representation of how I’ve been eating lately and how I like to eat in the aftermath of the holiday season. After a parade of mashed potatoes and roast beasts of all sorts, I tend to retreat into a more legume, bean, and vegetable-heavy way of life. It’s the return to sanity my body seems to crave. Although this need for sanity does nothing to allay my Toblerone cravings…but that’s beside the point. The point is this Blistered Poblano White Bean Soup is nothing more than business as usual as far as January is concerned.

January is in full swing and decadence has left the building. Yes, welcome to the month where cooler heads, common sense, and will power prevail…Or at least, that’s the plan. Depending on who you are, January might compel you to skip the booze, bid adieu to meat, or clip a few extra coupons. But even if don’t subscribe to dry January or the like, the beginning of a new month, new year, and a new decade has likely left you contemplating the state of the foot you’re putting forward. Is it all that it could be? Well, with that spirit in mind, allow me to introduce you to these Gochujang Lentils with Mozzarella Grits. They’re meat-free, healthy-ish, and easy on the wallet. In other words, they’re the ultimate January-friendly food.
