2 ounces sliced or slab bacon, cut crosswise into ¼-inch strips
¾ pound tiny potatoes, halved if larger than a ping pong ball
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon (or more) white wine vinegar
4 cups (lightly packed) summer greens, such as arugula, baby romaine, and/or mustard greens
2 cups mixed herb leaves, such as parsley, chives, and/or chervil
Carefully lower eggs into a medium saucepan of boiling water and cook 6 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water; set aside.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is starting to render but bacon is not yet crisp, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until potatoes are tender and cooked through, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and add shallot, mustard, and vinegar; toss to coat.
Toss greens and herbs in a large bowl, add warm potatoes and toss again to coat; season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired. Peel and halve eggs; arrange over potatoes and greens.

Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Dijon-Garlic Croutons
Posted: January 9, 2023 | Author: Millie Barnes | Filed under: Recipes | Tags: #delivery, #glutenfree, #healthyeating, #Lactosefree, #mealdelivery, #MillieBarnes, #Ortega, #pescatarian, #Riverside, #SanMarco, #vegetarian, #weightloss | Leave a comment
2 tbsp olive oil
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon thyme sprigs
Shaved skin of 1 lemon, plus grated zest of ½ lemon
1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 large celery sticks, cut into 3cm pieces
2 bay leaves
1 tsp caraway seeds
Salt and white pepper
1 large cauliflower, broken into small florets
1 large potato, peeled and cut into 2cm dice
4 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock for non-vegetarians)
2 tbsp chopped chives
For the mustard croutons:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tsp picked thyme leaves
4 slices gluten free bread
1. First make the croutons. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Put the butter in a medium saucepan on a medium heat. When it starts to foam, whisk in the mustard, herbs and a quarter-teaspoon of salt, take off the heat, leave for a couple of minutes to cool slightly, then stir in the ciabatta. Spread out on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, until crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. (Any you don’t use for this dish, store in an airtight container.)
2. For the soup, put the oil and butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Tie together the thyme, parsley and lemon skin (or put them in a tied-up muslin), and add to the pan with the onion, celery, bay leaves, three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt and a quarter-teaspoon of white pepper. Cook for eight to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is soft but has not taken on any color. Add the cauliflower, potato and stock, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for eight minutes, until the vegetables are cooked but still have some bite.
3. Use a slotted spoon to lift a third of the cauliflower out of the pan – avoid removing any potato – and set aside. Let everything simmer away for another five minutes, then remove the herb bundle and the bay leaves. Using a hand-held blender, or in a food processor, blitz the soup until smooth, return to the pan and add the reserved cauliflower pieces. Stir in the grated lemon zest and chives, and serve, sprinkling the croutons on top at the last minute..

Creamy Cauliflower Soup With Mustard Croutons
Posted: January 1, 2023 | Author: Millie Barnes | Filed under: Recipes | Tags: #delivery, #glutenfree, #healthyeating, #Lactosefree, #mealdelivery, #MillieBarnes, #Ortega, #pescatarian, #Riverside, #SanMarco, #vegetarian, #weightloss | Leave a comment4 servings
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, chopped
1½ tsp. salt
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large head of cauliflower (2½–3 lb.), florets broken into small pieces, core chopped
¼ tsp. freshly ground white or black pepper, plus more
¾ cup almond or cashew cream
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
5 cups country-style bread, gluten free, preferably day-old, torn or sliced into 1″ cubes
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. fresh lemon juice
1) Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven over medium-low. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and season with kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat if onion starts to brown, until softened but without taking on any color, 5–7 minutes. Add 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped, and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2) Add 1 large head of cauliflower (2½–3 lb.), florets broken into small pieces, core chopped, 1½ tsp., ¾ tsp salt, ¼ tsp. freshly ground white or black pepper, and 5½ cups water (the water should just barely cover the cauliflower). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until cauliflower is completely tender and starting to fall apart, 15–20 minutes. Stir in ¾ cup half-and-half and simmer 5 minutes; remove from heat.
3) While the soup is simmering, whisk 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, and 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper. Add 5 cups country-style bread, preferably day-old, torn or sliced into 1″ cubes, and toss to coat in mustard mixture. Transfer bread mixture to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake in a single layer, turning halfway through, until cheese is melted and croutons are golden brown and crisp, 10–15 minutes.
4) Working in batches, carefully purée soup in a blender until very smooth, transferring to a medium bowl as you go. (Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to blend soup in pot until smooth.) Return soup to pot and reheat over medium-low, stirring and adding more water to thin if needed (you’re going for the consistency of heavy cream). Stir in 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. fresh lemon juice. Taste and season soup with more salt and/or pepper if desired.

Vietnamese Baked Salmon
Posted: December 15, 2022 | Author: Millie Barnes | Filed under: Recipes | Tags: #delivery, #glutenfree, #healthyeating, #Lactosefree, #mealdelivery, #MillieBarnes, #Ortega, #pescatarian, #Riverside, #SanMarco, #vegetarian, #weightloss | Leave a commentServes 4
2-3 garlic cloves- minced
1 green onion
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. oyster sauce
½ Tbsp. sugar
2 lbs whole salmon fillet
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp toasted sesamel oil
1 pat melted butter
TOPPINGS
2 Tbsp scallion oil
1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Finely chop the green onions.
In a measuring cup, add the sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir together until the sugar is dissolved. Add the minced garlic and green onions and mix together.
Rinse salmon on both sides with cool water and then pat dry with paper towels.
Line a large baking dish with 2 pieces of foil. Leave excess foil on both sides, enough to be able to wrap the fish later when baking. Drizzle 1 teaspoon vegetable oil onto the foil and coat evenly. Place the fish, skin side down, on the foil. Spoon the marinade on top of the fish coating it evenly. Sprinkle ground black pepper on top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, remove the fish from the refrigerator. When the oven is up to temperature, wrap the fish using the foil from the pan creating a tent. Fold over the ends as well. This will keep all of the hot air in the tent. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the fish from the oven and carefully peel back the foil. Brush the fish with melted butter. Set the oven to broil and bake the fish for another 5- 7 minutes until it is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the baked salmon to a serving dish. Top with scallion oil and the crushed roasted peanuts.
Serve with Tamarind Dipping Sauce.
