2 c Shelled peas
2 c Chopped carrots
4 c Cauliflower florets
3 Eggs; separated
6 tb Low-fat cream cheese
3 ts Lemon juice
1 tb Chopped fresh chives
2 tb Freshly grated nutmeg

MMMMM—————————SALAD——————————–
3 lg Carrots; peeled
1 sm Handful of fresh chives
— snipped
2 tb Hazelnut oil
1 ts Raspberry vinegar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly oil and line the bottom of a
2-pound loaf pan with wax paper or parchment.

Steam the peas, chopped carrots, and cauliflower separately for 10 to
15 minutes, or until each is cooked. Let cool.

Puree the peas with 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Repeat
with the carrots and then the cauliflower. Stir the chives into the
pea puree, the almonds into the carrot puree, the nutmeg into the
cauliflower puree.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then carefully fold one-third into
each puree until just combined. Season well and spoon the pea mousse
into the prepared pan, carefully smoothing the surface. Top with the
carrot mousse and then the cauliflower mousse, smoothing the surface
of each. Cover with a piece of lightly oiled wax paper.

Place the loaf pan in a roasting pan and pour in boiling water to
come two thirds of the way up the sides of the pan. Transfer to the
oven and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the wax paper and cook for 10
to 15 minutes more, until the top feels firm to the touch. Remove
from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Using a potato peeler, peel the whole carrots into thin strips and
toss with the chives. Blend the oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper
and mix with the carrot strips and chives.

orzo and portabello mushrooms

2 portabello mushrooms
1 cup (before cooking) orzo
app 4 oz. sundried tomatoes
4 cloves minced garlic (or to taste)
2 tbsp. capers (or to taste–this recipe is pretty loose it is
all to taste, really)
1/2 tsp each of thyme, marjoram, and oregano
1 cup white wine
salt and crushed red pepper to taste

you can make this in under 30 minutes if you do it all at once.
so put the water on to boil for the orzo, and put the sundried
tomatoes in a bowl with about a cup of water to reconstitute
(rinse them off first as you will use the soaking water later).
wash the portabellos and cut off the stems. put caps in a dish
and sprinkle with the three herbs, then pour the cup of wine over
them to marinate. coarsely chop the mushroom stems, mince the
garlic. in a nonstick pan, sautee the garlic and mushroom stems
in a little tomato water or wine. drain tomatoes, reserving the
liquid, and chop coarsely (it’s okay if they are not fully
softened at this point) and sautee. the water should be boiling
now so put the orzo on to cook. scoot the tomato/garlic/chopped
mushroom mixture to the edges of the pan and place mushroom caps
in the middle. pour the tomato water over them, cover, and simmer
until the mushrooms are finished, about 12 minutes (same time as
it takes the orzo to cook–hey!). remove the mushroom caps to a
plate (to two plates I mean) and pour the leftover marinating
wine into the pan, and add capers. cook and stir until reduced.
drain orzo and toss with the mixture, and serve with the mushroom
caps. yum! (I was bad and garnished this with toasted pine nuts
and it was great, but I am eating nutless leftovers now and it is
still really good). sorry my recipes are always so rambling.
