Leek & Wild Mushroom Sauté
Looking for lighter, Springy, weeknight recipes? Give this versatile and satisfying dish a try for your next Meatless Monday! I recommend topping this leek, mushroom & cannellini bean mixture over your favorite whole grain (or quinoa), tossing with a fiber-rich pasta, or serving it with a poached egg on top.
Ingredients:
4 TBS. olive oil (divided)
3 leeks (halved lengthwise, and sliced)
1 red onion (thinly sliced)
4 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
6 C. (1 LB) assortment of wild mushrooms (crimini, portobello, oyster)
1 TSP. thyme
1 TSP. sage leaves (thinly sliced)
1/4 TSP. dried oregano
salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 C. dry white wine
1/2 C. cooked cannellini beans
goat cheese/parmesan, to taste (optional)
Method:
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan. Sauté leeks, onion, and garlic over a medium flame for about 10 minutes (or until soft and lightly golden). Remove onion-leek mixture, and set aside. Increase the flame to high, add wild mushrooms, herbs (thyme, sage, and oregano), and S&P. Cook for about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine, and keep stirring with wooden spoon. Once most of the liquid has evaporated, add cooked cannellini beans, and the leek-onion mixture back into the pan. Sauté for an additional couple of minutes. Serve warm with or without cheese.

Strawberry-Maple Corn Muffins
Baking with strawberries this time of year, may seem strange to most of you; but it happens to be that here in Tel Aviv, Winter is strawberry season! I couldn’t resist utilizing these luscious berries for a blog post, and decided to whip up naturally sweetened corn muffins, speckled with bright red strawberries. If you can’t wait for strawberry season in your part of the world, use frozen berries instead (blueberries or rasberries would also be great here).
Inspired by: bon appetit
What you need to make 6 muffins:

1/4 C. whole spelt flour (+2 tablespoons for berries)
1/4 C. almond meal

2 eggs
