Have you guys heard of Yotam Ottolenghi?
He’s an Israel-born British chef who is basically the king of vegetable-forward, healthy and super tasty cooking. I was gifted his cookbook, Plenty, and I have loved everything I’ve cooked from it.
For example, this Chickpea & Greens Saute with greek yogurt.
He takes greens, legumes and other veg and transforms them with fresh acidity, lots of herbs and a healthy drizzle of olive oil into fresh meals that are a revelation. I dream of visiting his restaurants/delis in London someday.
I like that this recipe helps me get out of my comfort zone just a little: Pick up some swiss chard (or whatever other hearty greens you can find), chop up some mint and cilantro, and open a can of chickpeas.
The combo of fresh ingredients with pantry staples is made for weeknight cooking.
If you’re into Mediterranean cooking, Israeli food or just eating well and eating healthfully, then this recipe is for you!
