Cheesy Sweet Potato, White Kidney Bean & Tuscan Kale Stew
A creamy and comforting vegetarian stew that uses a blended vegetable base instead of heavy cream. Sweet potatoes, white kidney beans, and Tuscan kale create a nutrient-dense foundation, while finely grated Asiago (or Parmesan) cheese adds a sharp, salty finish that ties the flavors together.
Chili with Lentils, Chocolate & Poblanos
A complex and smoky chili that draws deep flavor from roasted poblano peppers, unsweetened cocoa powder, and white miso. The combination of lentils and black beans provides a hearty texture, while the subtle heat is balanced by the earthy richness of the chocolate and spices.
Garlic Chutney
Also known as Lasun Chutney, this dry, crumbly condiment is a staple in Maharashtra, India. It’s often served with Vada Pav but works beautifully as a flavor booster for any grain bowl or wrap. The combination of roasted peanuts and toasted garlic creates a deeply savory, aromatic spread.
Mushroom Lentil Stew
A deeply savory Mediterranean-inspired stew that highlights the earthy combination of cremini mushrooms and brown lentils. The use of caramelized onions and aromatic fennel bulb, paired with sage and a touch of anise, creates a complex flavor profile that is both comforting and hearty.
Mushroom/Lentil Bourguignon with Crispy Maitake
A rich, plant-based reimagining of the classic French stew. Mixed stewing mushrooms and brown lentils provide a deep, earthy texture, while a splash of red wine and fresh thyme create a traditional flavor profile. Finished with pressure-seared crispy maitake mushrooms for a sophisticated topping.
Ribollita (Tuscan White Bean Soup)
A classic Tuscan bread soup that is hearty, thick, and traditionally “reboiled” to deepen its flavors. Featuring white Cannellini beans, Lacinato kale, and crusty sourdough bread, this dish is finished with a fragrant lemon-rosemary garlic oil that elevates the earthy base.
Sikil Pak with Charred Tomatillo & Quick-Pickled Jalapeño
A traditional Mayan pumpkin seed dip from the Yucatán Peninsula. Sikil means seed and pak means tomato (or tomatillo in modern variants). This version adds charred poblano peppers for smokiness and quick-pickled jalapeños for a bright, acidic counterpoint to the rich, earthy pepitas.
Spicy Peanut Stew with Sweet Potato and Kale
Inspired by the flavors of West African Maafe, this vibrant stew combines the natural sweetness of roasted potatoes with the rich, creamy depth of peanut butter and coconut milk. Jalapeños provide a gentle heat that is balanced by the earthy kale and crunchy chopped peanuts.
