It's been ages (plus an international move), but after eighteen months at my parents' place, I have a kitchen of my own again and I'm back to cooking. To celebrate, and in the spirit of the recent increase in activity on dreamwidth, I'm posting the recipe for the soup I made myself for supper tonight, with a potential variation to make a Doukhobor-style Borscht.1


Dietary and Accessibility Notes )

Ingredients and Directions )

1. Real Douhkohbor borscht is amazingly delicious but is typically prepared in huge batches in a much more complicated process than the rough-and-ready somewhat similar method I've described here, and it's much richer (think DEFINITELY heavy cream plus MASSIVE AMOUNTS of butter). back

From the Co-op's homemade cookbook binder.

Wash and de-stem 1 bunch KALE; chop finely. Pour on 1 TBS OLIVE OIL and 1/4 TBS SALT. Roll up your sleeves and toss and squeeze the kale until it wilts, about 3-5 minutes or so. Let sit 30 minutes.

Dice 1/4 RED ONION. Whisk the juice of a LEMON into a TSP DIJON MUSTARD a pinch of SALT, a grind of PEPPER, and the ONION. Let sit 15 minutes.

Slice or dice 1 AVOCADO & salt lightly; toast 1/2 c[up] ALMONDS and chop; grate/shred 1 peeled CARROT and 1-2 peeled BEETS.

Whisk enough olive oil into mustard-lemond mixture to make a dressing. Add avocado, almonds, and root vegetables to kale and toss. Dress to taste.

Variations:
(1) Use 3-4 beets instead of the carrot. Substitute some grapefruit or orange juice for the lemon juice, and add the flesh of a grapefruit or orange.
(2) Add scallions, sesame, and toasted nori; make the dressing from mirin, sesame oil, tamari, and rice wine vinegar; substitute a very little ginger for the onion.
(3) Substitute for the root vegetables a diced tomato or two and some shaved parmesan.
