INGREDIENTS

1 cup brown basmati rice, rinsed
2 teaspoons coconut oil or olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger (about a 1-inch nub of ginger, peeled and chopped)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Pinch of salt
½ bunch asparagus, tough ends removed and sliced into 2-inch long pieces (to yield about 2 cups prepared asparagus)
3 carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal into ¼-inch wide rounds (to yield about 1 cup sliced carrots)
2 tablespoons of Dangold’s Thai Green Curry spice blend.
1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk (I used full-fat coconut milk for a richer curry)
½ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons coconut sugar or turbinado (raw) sugar or brown sugar
2 cups packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar or fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce** (I used reduced-sodium tamari)
Garnishes: handful of chopped fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil before beginning to cook the rice. Continue to boil for 30 minutes, adding the rinsed rice as needed to prevent overflow. Remove it from the heat, drain the rice, and return it to the pot. Set aside for 10 minutes or until ready to serve, covered.
  2. Over medium heat, heat a large skillet with deep sides. Add a couple teaspoons of oil once it's hot. Cook the onion, ginger, and garlic for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, with a sprinkle of salt. Cook for 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally, after adding the asparagus and carrots. Then add the Thai Curry Spice Blend
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, along with 12 cups of water and 12 teaspoons of sugar. Bring the mixture to a low boil. Reduce the heat as needed to keep the carrots and asparagus tender and cooked through, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. When the vegetables are done, stir in the spinach and cook for 30 seconds, or until the spinach has wilted. Remove the curry from the heat and season with soy sauce and rice vinegar. To taste, season with salt and red pepper flakes. Divide the rice and curry into bowls and top with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes, if desired.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled raw sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons Orange Ginger Spice Blend
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering. Add sweet potatoes, then onion and saute for around 7 to 8 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar, and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  3. Add Orange Ginger Spice Blend, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  4. Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. To ‘clean’ the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup. Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, chopped
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, diced
3 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon Dangold Herbs de Provence
1 tablespoon Dangold Mixed Peppercorns

DIRECTIONS

  1. First, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent about 5 minutes. While the onions are cooking, place the diced potatoes, carrots, water and chicken soup base in another pot and bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
  2. Add the flour to the cooked onions to make a paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk and stir well. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until warmed through. Add the potato and carrot mixture. Stir in Herbs de Provence.
  3. Then carefully place mixture in a blender or using a hand blender, blend the mixture until creamy and smooth. You may need to do this in batches. Be careful as the mixture will be very hot. Return creamy mixture to the pot to heat through.
  4. Serve hot. For a little kick, add a pinch of our Hot & Spicy Cajun Spice Blend to each bowl when serving.
