Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Greens, Feta and Semidried Tomatoes

Here is one of the salads from our family holiday celebrations.  The flavour was light and fresh with the small zucchini melting in your mouth! Although not necessary, lemon basil really adds a lovely touch.  This recipe was enough for 10, as one of several salads.  It would go wonderfully with a barbeque or serve alone as a light lunch. Ingredients 4 small zucchini 400g English spinach, washed and spun (Other greens would work well too - lettuce, rocket, mesclun) 1-2 lemons 1/2 cup pine nuts 200 g feta cheese, firm - cut into 1cm blocks 1 well packed cup of semi-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped fresh basil, lemon basil and/or purple basil fresh garlic 1 or 2 cloves extra virgin olive oil salt and ground pepper

Method 1. Take about ten basil leaves and slice them width wise into small ribbons.  Put the feta, sundried tomatoes, basil, one minced garlic clove and enough olive oil to cover into a small bowl.  Allow to marinade while you prepare the rest of the salad. 2. Over high heat in a cast iron frying pan, gently toast the pine nuts, stirring constantly so they do not burn.  Remove from heat.  transfer to a cool bowl. 3.  Gently tear spinach leaves into bite size pieces and place around the outside of a large, open salad bowl, leaving a well in the centre. 4. Remove the stem and base of the zucchinis. Using a sharp vegetable peeler, peel large ribbons of zucchini into the well, turning the zucchini once you reach the seed section to remove all of the flesh from the other sides.  Discard the small seed section. 5.  Zest the peel of the lemon over the top of the whole salad.  Then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of the entire lemon over the zucchini. 6.  Add a few glugs of olive oil (not too much but more then a sprinkle) to the zucchini and some salt.  Then with your hands, mix the zucchini in the well so that it all coats with the dressing.  Try to leave the spinach on the sides.  Add more salt, lemon juice, garlic, cracked black pepper to taste. 7. Gently spoon the feta mixture over the top of the spinach leaves.  Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the whole salad. 8.  Chop more basil or use lemon basil and purple basil and sprinkle this over the top of the zucchini.

Southeast Asian Fish Rolls

This is a recipe from Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites.  These little fish rolls are another lovely finger food that can be served on a platter.  Each fish roll can have a tooth pick inserted after baking to keep them together.

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Quick Pesto Pasta

This is a super quick pasta salad recipe that includes most of the ingredients for pesto but forgoes the mortar and pestle! Great for a spontaneous beach picnic and also wonderful when you do not have heaps of fresh basil. Ingredients 400 g penne or spiral pasta 3 carrots 20 sugar snap peas, 2 baby zucchini and/or bunch of broccolini 1 bunch basil, roughly chopped 1 clove fresh garlic 1/3 cup pine nuts extra virgin olive oil butter 1/3 cup cream 1/3 to 1/4 cup freshly grated or shaved parmesan salt and pepper to taste

Method 1. Put salted water on to boil for the pasta. 2. Clean carrots. Slice in half and then into thin half moons. Set aside. 3. Cut into bite size piece the sugar snaps, zucchini and/or broccolini.  Keep separate as they have different cooking times. 4.  When water boils, add pasta.  Set timer for five minutes and then add the carrots to the water too.  If using broccolini, add the chopped stems and tops for the last two minutes. 5.  In a small fry pan, lightly toast pine nuts. 6.  Once pine nuts are toasted set aside, reduce heat and gently melt a knob of butter in the pan. Fry the zucchini if you are using it. Add the cream once the zucchini is golden and bring to a slight boil before removing from the heat. 7. Once pasta is cooked, drain pasta and vegetables in a colander. Rinse, bounce out any remaining water and return to pan. 8.  Press garlic through garlic press over the pasta.  Add the butter and cream sauce, toasted pine nuts, chopped basil,  and grated parmesan.  Toss and lightly coat with olive oil.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Add extra cheese if desired.  The pasta tends to absorb the salt so I add extra.

Eggplant in a Thai Green Curry

This fantastic Thai green curry recipe features eggplant and red pepper (carrots make a great substitute if these are not in season).  You can add cauliflower, zucchini, beans...really any other stir fry vegetables you have in the fridge.  The homemade green curry paste is what makes this dish such a lovely combination of distinct flavours, so don't be tempted to substitute the store-bought variety. Top the curry with fresh basil.

Ingredients

1 can good-quality coconut milk

3 Asian eggplant (the long thin ones), sliced diagonally into 1cm thick rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces

1/3 cup fresh Thai or sweet basil

1/2 cup stock (I use chicken)

Green Curry Paste 3 stalk fresh lemongrass, minced 250 grams green chilies, sliced (if you can't find Thai chilies, jalapeno will work) 1 shallot, sliced OR 1/4 cup diced red onion 4-5 cloves garlic, chopped 1/4 cup of fresh galangal OR fresh ginger, sliced approx. 1 cup chopped fresh coriander/cilantro, leaves & stems 1/8 cup coriander seeds, roasted and ground 1 tbsp cumin seeds, roasted and ground 1/2 tsp whole white pepper, ground 2-3 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp shrimp paste 1 tsp palm sugar or brown sugar 1 tbsp lime juice

Method 1. Place all 'Green Curry Paste' ingredients together in a food processor, blender, chopper, or pestle & mortar. Add up to 1/4 can of the coconut milk, enough to help blend ingredients (reserve the rest for later). Process (or pound) well to create an aromatic Thai green curry paste. If you don't have a food processor or chopper: try using a blender, or finely mince all ingredients by hand and stir together well. 2. Heat a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2-3 Tbsp. oil and swirl around, then add the green curry paste. Stir-fry briefly to release the fragrance (1 minute), then add the vegetables which take the longest to cook like carrots and cauliflower. Stir for 2 minutes coating with spices. 3. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Stir and reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Simmer 6-10 minutes (until the carrots start to tender). 4. Set aside 1/4 cup coconut milk, reserving it for use later (the thick cream is best). Add the rest of the coconut milk to the curry, plus the eggplant and beans (if using). Stir everything together, cover, and simmer another 7-8 minutes, or until eggplant is tender enough to pierce with a fork. 5. Add the bell pepper. Cover and simmer another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is well cooked. 6. Remove from heat and gently stir in the 1/4 cup reserved coconut milk. Taste-test, adding more fish sauce if not salty or flavorful enough. Add more lime juice if too salty or sweet for your taste. Add more sugar if not sweet enough. More chili can also be added. 7. Serve with a generous amount of fresh basil and or more coriander.

Pasta with Broccoli and Lemon Basil Sauce

Heat olive oil and butter in a small heavy bottom fry pan.  Add garlic and shallot and gently cook until they soften, less then 5 minutes. Watch carefully, adding the wine and stock just before the garlic browns. 4. Reduce by half then add the cream and allow it to heat, just until it starts to bubble.  Remove from heat. 5. Add in the lemon zest.  Toss with cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, chopped basil leaves, salt and black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese.

Vegetable Pesto Pasta

This recipe works well with broccoli, carrots, green beans, peas and zucchini.  The carrots, zucchini and green beans can be pan fried in a little olive oil or butter or steamed and then added to the pasta when done.  The broccoli can either be steamed separately or added to the pasta when it is cooking.  If the peas are fresh, you can add them to the carrots right before removing from heat or add to the pasta water right before it is done. Ingredients 3 packed cups fresh basil leaves (removed from stems) 2 large cloves fresh garlic ½ cup pine nuts, walnuts, almonds or a combination ¾ cup (packed) fresh chopped parsley ¾ cup fresh-grated parmesan ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup melted butter salt to taste

Method 1. Begin cooking pasta of your choice. All pastas work well with pesto. 2. Combine all ingredients except cheese in a blender on low, then medium speed. Thoroughly work everything into smooth paste. You can also do this in a mortar and pestle. 3. At this stage, you can put portions into containers and freeze for the winter.  Add cheese, mixing gently to combine. 4. Combine cooked pasta, cooked vegetables, pesto and extra cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
