Tomato & Parsley Sauce Potatoes
Ingredients:
Potatoes:
- 3-4 red or baby Idaho potatoes, cut into quarters
- Tbsp. extra-virgin coconut oil
- tsp. garlic powder
- tsp. onion powder
- tsp. kosher salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Tomato-Parsley Reduction Sauce:
- 1 tsp. extra-virgin coconut oil
- clove garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. diced onion
- 1 can (5.5 oz.) tomato juice
- tsp. cornstarch
- tsp. horseradish
- tsp. celery seed
- tsp. paprika
- Tbsp. lemon juice
- A few dashes of hot sauce, to taste
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- cup parsley, chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine quartered potatoes with the coconut oil and spices listed in the first section.
Transfer potatoes to prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes every 10 minutes or so to ensure even crisping.
While the potatoes are roasting, heat coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; cook, stirring often, for about 3-5 minutes, or until translucent.
In a separate bowl, whisk together tomato juice, cornstarch, horseradish, ketchup, celery, seed, paprika, lemon juice and hot sauce until well-combined.
Add the tomato mixture to the saucepan with the garlic and onion. Cook 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally--the mixture will thicken and reduce by almost half. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the tomato reduction over the roasted potatoes and top with chopped parsley.

Creamy Wild Chowder
Ingredients:
- cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
- medium potato, cooked with skin
- can white beans, rinsed
- 1 tsp. extra-virgin coconut oil
- yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- rib celery, diced
- cup wild rice, not cooked
- cup brown rice, soaked overnight and drained
- 2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
- Tbsp. white or yellow miso paste
- 1 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar (or Tbsp. lemon juice)
- cup white wine (optional)
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
Combine cashews, cooked potato, and white beans in a food processor or blender and blend well until completely smooth. If needed, add a little of the water or vegetable broth to blend.
Heat oil in a large saucepan or small pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery and a pinch of salt. Stir and continue cooking until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the wild rice and brown rice. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to medium.
Whisk the miso with a bit of water to thin it out. Add the miso, vinegar, white wine and a pinch of pepper.
Stir in the cashew mixture and continue to cook the soup at a steady simmer, stirring frequently to ensure the rice does not stick to the bottom. Add more broth if you would like a thinner chowder.
Simmer for 30-45 minutes (until the wild rice is cooked).
Season with salt and pepper and top with parsley. Any extra can be stored in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to a week.
