Pumpkins are plentiful this time of year in the United States. Yes, the recipe calls for garnet sweet potatoes, but pumpkins would also work well. “Sugar pie” pumpkins would be a good choice. Acorn squash and butternut squash are also fine substitutes. Credit goes to Healdsburg, California based Lia Huber for this recipe. She has traveled extensively and written several articles. In addition, Lia runs the Nourish Network community site which furthers her goals of “helping people enjoy food that’s healthy for both their bodies and the earth in new way” and sharing the “fundamentals of sound nutrition.” While it’s not a vegetarian site, there are some suitable videos on the basics such as grating and mincing garlic and some recipes like “Farrotto” with Butternut Squash and Shallots. See more recipes below. Bon Appétit!
Honey-Ginger Roasted Carrots An easy, sweet and basic way to add taste to carrots. Choose agave nectar, yacon or brown rice syrup instead of honey if you like.
Watermelon-Basil Agua Fresca Don’t have any watermelon? Try strawberries instead.
Eggplant-Ricotta Tartine Out of eggplant? Roasted red peppers or basil would be great substitutes. Raw “cheese” would be a great replacement for ricotta.
Fennel, Red Onion and Blood Orange Salad with Miso-Orange Vinaigrette Enough said!
