Warm Potato Salad with
Cilantro & Toasted Cumin
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 pounds red potatoes,
chopped into roughly 2-inch pieces
1 bunch cilantro, stems
trimmed and removed
3 large shallots
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons whole
cumin
1/2 lemon
Freshly ground black
pepper
- Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are tender but not yet mush. Drain and return to the pot.
- Chop the cilantro roughly and stir it into the hot potatoes. Slice the shallots thinly and stir them in too.
- Pour the olive oil oil into a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is quite hot, stir in the 1 1/2 tablespoons of whole cumin seeds. Cook for about 45 seconds, stirring frequently, until the cumin and oil smell toasty and the cumin has darkened slightly. Pour the contents of the skillet over the potatoes (watch out, as some of the seeds may pop as they hit the cooler pan). Stir thoroughly.
- Juice the 1/2 lemon and stir the juice in as well. Season to taste with black pepper, and any additional salt, if needed. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.
Smoky, Garlicky Potatoes
and Dandelion Greens
1 pound red-skinned
potatoes
Kosher salt
1/2 pound dandelion greens
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon sherry
vinegar
Freshly ground black
pepper
- Place the potatoes and a generous pinch of salt in a large saucepan with water to cover by one inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife (10 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes). Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes and cool them to room temperature. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices (if they are particularly large you may wish to halve them first).
- Have ready a bowl of ice water. Bring the potato cooking water back up to a boil (if too much water has evaporated, add extra water to the pan). Blanch the dandelion greens for about 30 seconds until they are bright green and just wilted. Transfer the greens to the ice water to stop cooking. Drain the greens, squeezing out excess water. Cut the greens into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic, and smoked paprika and sauté for a minute or until fragrant. Remove from heat. Add the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a good crack of black pepper, the potatoes, and dandelion greens to the saucepan and gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
- Serve warm or cold.

Brussels Sprout Mac 'n
Cheese
love & olive oil - http://www.loveandoliveoil.com/2013/05/brussels-sprout-mac-and-cheese.html?_ziplist=disable
8 ounces elbow macaroni
2 ¼ cups whole milk
5 tablespoons unsalted
butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne
pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and freshly ground
black pepper, to taste
8 ounces mild white
cheddar cheese, grated and divided
2 ounces gruyere cheese,
grated
2 ounces pecorino cheese,
grated
8 ounces Brussels sprouts,
trimmed, cored, and very thinly sliced
¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish (about 11x7 inches in size) and set aside.
- Cook macaroni according to package directions until just barely al-dente (about 1 minute less than recommended cook time). Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saute pan or high-sided skillet set over medium heat. When butter is melted and frothy, add flour and whisk until smooth and begins to bubble, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly pour in warm milk, a little at a time, whisking vigorously, until all the milk is incorporated and mixture is smooth. Don't worry if the mixture gets oddly chunky for a bit, just keep adding milk a little bit at a time and whisking constantly to break up the chunks.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking regularly, until sauce bubbles and has thickened slightly, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cayenne, paprika, and salt and pepper. Slowly add cheeses, a handful at a time, whisking until melted before adding more. Add all but 1/2 cup of cheese (a mix of the three, set this aside for sprinkling on top). Stir in macaroni and sliced Brussels sprouts until evenly coated.
- Pour into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and breadcrumbs over top. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is bubbling, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
