Little coconut for the soul..

This easy dish came together at the end of December.. It was cold and all those good root veggies and tough greens are still at their best: Acorn squash, kale, carrots, grape tomatoes finished w/ some mushrooms. What better way to warm the soul then served over some brown rice and coconut milk. Add jalapeno early and the heat is on!

Flounder w/ sauteed brussel sprouts and kale

Walking through the green market this morning and seeing fresh stalks of brussel sprouts set my mind ablaze. I knew this was dinner but with what? The meal could not be too heavy (goodbye potatoes) and having eaten way too much over the weekend, not too gamey or with red meat or pork. Passing through the stalls and taking inventory, I quickly spotted a table of Kale (the 'it' vegetable as it would appear) and decided a simple saute with red onion and garlic would be my meal. Plated with seasoned cannellini beans and served under a nice lemon flounder, I knew we would be smiling later in the night. Enjoy!
