Red Wine Braised Fennel and Onions with Stewed Tomatoes, Capers and Anchovies

Fennel is fantastic cooked, when its texture softens and its anise flavor becomes mellow and sweet. One common and delicious way to cook fennel is to simply sauté it with white wine and butter. Here, we switch up and put a Mediterranean twist on cooking fennel in wine, with red wine, along with a few complementary-flavored ingredients (our fresh onions, our canned stewed tomatoes and anchovy fillets), and charred veggies to further boost the robust … Continue reading Red Wine Braised Fennel and Onions with Stewed Tomatoes, Capers and Anchovies

Sautéed Green Kale in Coconut Oil with Fresh Fruit and Candied Nuts

We sautéed our green kale in coconut oil recently and it was delicious. The coconut flavor was not at all overpowering, and the sweet green kale flavor really came through. When we experiment with ingredients, we take a familiar recipe, one that we know we like and have used often, and change one ingredient to see how the dish changes.  So, instead of extra virgin olive or … Continue reading Sautéed Green Kale in Coconut Oil with Fresh Fruit and Candied Nuts
