The Natural Gourmet Institute taught me three simple plant-based gluten-free methods for thickening nearly any soup: potatoes, oats, or short-grain rice. Yes, you read that correctly—short-grain rice! Learn how to make a “Cream” of Asparagus Soup without any dairy.
Here are some pointers for how to get a meal on the table in under 30, along with a Garlic Ginger meatball recipe that can be served with one of two delicious sauces (Citrus and Ginger Glaze or Spicy Red Curry) and a variety of vegetable sides. Your weeknights just got easier and more delicious.
This one-pan meal can be pulled together in just 12 minutes and requires only 8 ingredients, including salt, pepper and oil. I’ve fed it to my family for brunch, lunch and dinner, and they asked for more for breakfast the next day. Round out the meal with a side of creamy polenta or grits. Or serve it over a bed of chewy farro or wheat berries. If you can spare the extra mostly hands-free cooking time, my favorite accompaniment to this, however, is Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.
