recipe: more-vegetable-than-egg frittata

A naturally gluten free recipe from Mark Bittman at The New York Times:

(serves 2-4)

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1/2 onion, sliced (optional)
Salt and ground black pepper
4 to 6 cups of any chopped or sliced raw or barely cooked vegetables
1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley leaves, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or mint leaves, or any other herb
2 or 3 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1. Put olive oil or butter in a skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) and turn heat to medium. When fat is hot, add onion, if using, and cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until it is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetables, raise heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust heat so vegetables brown a little without scorching. (With precooked vegetables, just add them to onions and stir before proceeding.)

2. When vegetables are nearly done, turn heat to low and add herb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.

3. Meanwhile, beat eggs with some salt and pepper, along with cheese if you are using it. Pour over vegetables, distributing them evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until eggs are barely set, 10 minutes or so; run pan under broiler for a minute or 2 if top does not set. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

recipe: creamy lemon dill coleslaw

What's a Memorial Day picnic without coleslaw? Here's a gluten free AND dairy free recipe from Living Without:

(serves 6-8)

1 medium green cabbage, finely shredded (about 6 cups)
½ medium red cabbage, finely shredded (about 3 cups)
4 large carrots, finely shredded
Juice and zest of one lemon or lime
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream or sour cream substitute or nondairy yogurt or mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed
½ teaspoon celery seeds
2 tablespoons chives, chopped, optional
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Mix both cabbages and carrots in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and zest and toss.

Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, celery seeds, chives, salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Fold dressing into the cabbage, tossing to coat cabbage.

Chill one hour before serving. Pack in a tightly covered container and keep chilled with a freezer pack.
