Bowl of Delicious Real Food for Busy People
- Pumpkin No Knead Bread with Rosemary and Olive Oil (Dutch Oven)by Elizabeth Lindemann on October 2, 2024 at 1:28 pm
Let’s add another no knead bread – Pumpkin no knead bread – to the collection, shall we? This no knead crusty loaf is baked in a Dutch oven and has pumpkin puree, fresh rosemary, and olive oil added to the loaf, with a sprinkling of sea salt on top. It’s a yeast bread that rises like other artisan loafs, and a delicious savory way to enjoy pumpkin, and comes out a gorgeous autumn yellow-orange color! This time of year, pumpkin bread recipes abound. Usually these are in the form of a quick sweet bread, made with no yeast, with a cake-like result (like this chai spiced pumpkin bread). This is not that kind of pumpkin bread. Instead, it’s a yeast bread, an artisan loaf that comes out crusty on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfect for serving with those autumn and winter soups and stews! This is a variation of my Dutch Oven No Knead Bread – an easy, classic artisan loaf with a short rise time – with the addition of pumpkin puree, fresh rosemary, olive oil, and sea salt. You’ll love this easy pumpkin yeast bread loaf recipe! ...GET THE RECIPE for Pumpkin No Knead Bread with Rosemary and Olive Oil (Dutch Oven)!
- Lentil and Barley Soupby Elizabeth Lindemann on September 5, 2024 at 11:42 am
Hello, lentil and barley soup! This recipe is such a great start to soup season now that it’s September (already?!). It’s cozy, hearty, and filling, and adding fresh cilantro (or parsley) and lime juice maintains a fresh, bright, light flavor. This is a super healthy and well-rounded soup – packed with nutrients, fiber, plant-based protein, and tons of veggies (including baby spinach, stirred in to wilt at the end of cooking). Pearl barley and lentils take the same amount of time to cook, making them an easy pairing for this soup. Use rice or quinoa for a gluten-free version, and use your stovetop, pressure cooker, or slow cooker for this lentil barley soup recipe. It’s soup season, y’all!! If you’ve been with Bowl of Delicious for a while you know I’m all about the soups (this is BOWL of Delicious, after all). If there is another category of food that is so easy to make incredibly tasty, healthy, hearty, in bulk to freeze, in one pot with very few dishes, and that feeds both your body and soul, I don’t know about it. ...GET THE RECIPE for Lentil and Barley Soup!
- Greek Feta and Tomato Sandwichby Elizabeth Lindemann on August 27, 2024 at 7:49 pm
Allow me to introduce you to the Feta and Tomato Sandwich! Olive oil is drizzled on warm toasted bread, with a cut clove of garlic rubbed on top to infuse the flavor. Then, a sprinkling of oregano and sea salt, with slices of feta cheese and fresh summer tomatoes. This Greek sandwich takes less than 5 minutes to throw together and is delicious, simple, and easy. Perfect for those peak-season tomatoes and a fun way to change up your lunchbox routine! You’ve heard of Southern tomato sandwiches. You’ve had thick slices of ripe tomato on a BLT. And I’m sure you’ve had an Italian Caprese sandwich with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. But have you ever had the Greek version of a tomato sandwich with sliced feta cheese? It will swiftly become your new favorite kind of tomato sandwich! What sets this sandwich apart this is the garlic-infused flavor. After the bread is toasted, while it’s still warm, you’ll drizzle olive oil on it and immediately rub the cut size of a clove of garlic on it. The flavor of the garlic infuses into the oil, enhanced by the heat still coming off of the toasted bread. ...GET THE RECIPE for Greek Feta and Tomato Sandwich!
- Puff Pastry Zucchini and Summer Squash Tartby Elizabeth Lindemann on July 31, 2024 at 4:04 pm
This easy puff pastry zucchini and summer squash tart only takes a few minutes to throw together with barely any clean-up! This is a great way to use all that fresh summer time zucchini and squash. With sun-dried tomatoes, some oregano sprinkled on top, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze after it’s done cooking, this is perfect for a light lunch or dinner – or an appetizer cut into small pieces. Plus, it’s great served room temperature, so it’s perfect to put out for a party. So, when I set out to create this recipe, I was originally going to do one of those upside-down puff pastry situations you’ve probably seen all over instagram and tiktok. Like these. But honestly, was I really going to spend time cutting up the puff pastry and arranging each individual one? No. One giant puff pastry tart was the answer here. Plus, zucchini and summer squash have a lot of water in them, and if they were baked upside-down, that water would have nowhere to evaporate. It likely would have resulted in a soggy, mushy zucchini situation. So here we are with a big ol’ zucchini puff pastry tart – baked right-side-up – that you can just cut up with a pizza cutter after you’re done! ...GET THE RECIPE for Puff Pastry Zucchini and Summer Squash Tart!
- Spaghetti Tonno e Burro (Spaghetti with Tuna and Butter)by Elizabeth Lindemann on July 9, 2024 at 2:06 pm
Allow me to introduce you to Spaghetti Tonno e Burro – literally, spaghetti with tuna and butter. A three-ingredient, 10-minute recipe, this will have you literally jumping for joy at both its ease and comforting, simple taste. A minimalist Italian pantry meal that requires literally only three ingredients: olive oil-packed tuna, butter, and spaghetti. This is a perfect easy pasta recipe for hot summer evenings and busy weeknights. You’ll also need some salt and pepper, as with almost any recipe. Freshly ground black pepper is pretty important (unless you are my children, who like black pepper unless you can *see* it – commence eye rolling). And, depending on the brand of tuna you use and how much you salt the pasta water, you may need some extra salt on hand. Spaghetti Tonno e Burro is reminiscent of a tuna casserole, but light years better in my opinion. It’s not as heavy, and it’s SO much easier to make. But if you like a tuna casserole – or *kind of* like tuna casserole but wish it was a bit lighter – you’ll definitely like this. This tuna pasta recipe is gorgeous in its simplicity. ...GET THE RECIPE for Spaghetti Tonno e Burro (Spaghetti with Tuna and Butter)!
