¬ Miso Sweet Potato & Broccoli Bowl ¬ RECIPE BY: Deb Perelman

bowl ingredients

½ ½ 1 tbsp honey

½ ½ 1 cup dried rice

½ ½ ¼ cup rice vinegar

½ ½ 1 to 2 sweet potatoes (~1½ lbs)

½ ½ 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

½ ½ 1 large bundle broccoli (~1 lbs)

½ ½ 2 tbsp olive oil

½ ½ 1– 2 tbsp olive oil ½ ½ coarse or kosher salt ½ ½ freshly ground black pepper ½ ½ 1 tsp white sesame seeds ½ ½ 1 tsp black sesame seeds

dressing ingredients ½ ½ 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger ½ ½ 1 small garlic clove, minced ½ ½ 2 tbsp white miso (the mildest kind) ½ ½ 2 tbsp tahini

1. Heat oven to 400˚ F. Place rice or grain and cooking liquid in a rice cooker or on the stove. Cook according to package directions.

2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1- inch cubes. Cut tops off broccoli and separate into bite-sized florets. If your broccoli stems feel especially woody, I like to peel them (with the same vegetable peeler), then cut them into ½- to 1- inch segments.

miso sweet potato and broccoli bowl continued...

3 . Coat one large or two smaller trays with a thin slick of olive oil. Layer sweet potatoes on tray(s) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, until browning underneath. Flip and toss chunks around, then add broccoli to the tray(s), season again with salt and pepper, and roast for another 10 to 20 minutes, until broccoli is lightly charred at edges and sweet potato is fully bronzed and tender. Toss chunks around one more time if it looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking unevenly.

4. In a small skillet, toast black and white sesame seeds until fragrant. (You can do this in the oven if using an oven-proof skillet.) Let cool.

5. While vegetables roast, prepare sesame-miso dressing: Combine everything in a blender and run until smooth, scraping down sides once. Taste and adjust ingredients if needed, but try to resist adding more honey if it tastes salty, as that extra pop of saltiness is exactly what I think sweet potato needs.

6. Assemble bowls: Scoop some rice/grains into each, then pile on the roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli. Coat lightly with sesame-miso dressing and finish with toasted sesame seed duo. Serve with extra dressing on the side.

¬ Sage-Brined Pork Chops w/ Brown Sugar ¬ RECIPE BY: Emma Christensen

bowl ingredients ½ ½ 2 cups water ½ ½ 2 tbsps kosher salt ½ ½ 2 tbsps minced fresh sage ½ ½ 2 1- inch thick, center-cut, boneless pork chops (~1 lb) ½ ½ 2 tbsps brown sugar ½ ½ vegetable oil

1. Heat one cup of the water to a simmer either on the stove top or in the microwave. Add the salt and sage, and stir until the salt has dissolved. Mix in a second cup of cold water to cool the brine down and let stand until the mixture is lukewarm.

2. Place the pork loins in a shallow dish and pour the brine solution over top. The brine should completely cover the pork. If not, either transfer the pork to a smaller container or flip the pork halfway through brining. Cover and refrigerate for 1– 3 hours.

3. When ready to cook, place a cast-iron, stainless steel, or other oven-safe skillet in the oven on a center rack. Heat the oven to 400˚ F. Remove the

sage-brined pork chops with brown sugar glaze continued...

pork loins from the brine solution, pat dry, and let them warm on the counter while the oven is heating. Discard the brine.

4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place it over medium-high heat on the stove top. Rub pork loins with vegetable oil and lay them in center of the pan about an inch apart. Sear for about 3 minutes or until the underside of pork chop is golden.

5. Flip the pork chops and spread 1 tbsp of brown sugar over the surface of each chop. Immediately place the pan in the oven. Bake for 5 – 7 minutes, until the center of the chops are just barely pink and register 140˚ F – 145˚ F on an instant-read thermometer. If the brown sugar hasn't quite completely melted, run the pan under the broiler for a few seconds.

6. Remove the pork chops from the pan and cover with aluminium foil while you plate the rest of your meal. (Do not leave them sitting in the pan or they will over-cook and become tough.) Spoon some of the pan juices over the pork chops just before serving.
