Grilled Asparagus with Roasted Garlic Toast and Balsamic Vinaigrette
Recipe By:DJFoodie
"This recipe is delicious during the spring. Even asparagus haters love this one. They do!"

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head garlic, unpeeled
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 pounds thick stemmed asparagus
  • 4 slices sourdough bread

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Coat the head of garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and roast 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Once the garlic is roasted, cut the head in half horizontally, exposing all the cloves. Squeeze both halves into a bowl, discarding any skin. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. While the garlic is roasting, place the minced shallot in a bowl with the balsamic and red wine vinegars for about 30 minutes to let the flavors blend. Whisk in remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place asparagus spears in the mixture until ready to grill.
  4. Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
  5. Place asparagus in a large skillet or directly on the grill. Grill the asparagus, turning over once, until tender, about 10 minutes. While asparagus is grilling, spread the roasted garlic mixture on the bread. Grill bread until toasted. Arrange the bread and asparagus on a plate, and drizzle with the remaining shallot and vinegar mixture.

Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian Barley Soup)
Recipe By:Autumn Leaves
"I've seen a lot of recipes for this soup; however, my mother-in-law adds tomato paste for a bit of a different flavour and she doesn't add any lentils or beans. It's thick, filling, and delicious, and you could make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock."

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked pearl barley
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 lime wedges

Directions

  1. Heat the chicken stock in a pot to a gentle simmer.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat and saute the onion until translucent. Add the pearl barley to the pot and stir for one minute. Stir in the hot chicken stock, turmeric, lime juice, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour.
  3. Mix in the carrots and continue simmering 30 minutes or until the soup has thickened and the carrots and barley are tender. If the soup is too thick, add hot water, one tablespoon at a time.
  4. Place the sour cream in a small bowl. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of hot soup mixture into sour cream, whisking constantly. Gradually add the sour cream mixture into the soup pot, whisking constantly. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve with fresh lime wedges.

Carrot, Tomato, and Spinach Quinoa Pilaf
Recipe By:Jess
"I remember my aunt telling me about quinoa, saying it was such a wonderfully healthy food and what do you know? It's kosher for Passover! I decided to beef up my quinoa with some fresh vegetables, cooked until they are just tender without becoming mushy. As a side dish this serves 4-5, but I've been known to eat half of it as a meal on its own."

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian chicken-flavored bouillon granules
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup baby spinach

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat, stir in quinoa, and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in the water, bouillon granules, black pepper, and thyme; raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the carrots. Cover and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat, add the tomatoes and spinach, and stir until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes have given off their moisture, about 2 minutes.
