Directions Combine all ingredients in a clean jar. Cover with lid, and shake until fully blended. Use immediately, or chill until ready to use. NB: This dressing is versatile. It isn’t just the perfect addition to lettuce. It can be added to a cold grain salad or even served over a tart fruit or slices of citrus. The sweetness of the dressing plays well with lots of flavors, but especially sharp, tart tastes. It is also ripe for customization. The recipe is a wonderful base for other combinations of oil, vinegar, and sweet syrups - different types of vinegar, such as rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar. You could also substitute maple syrup or molasses for the honey called for in the recipe. Ingredients
1 ¼ pounds ground meat 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, diced 2 cups fresh diced tomatoes 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 ½ cups chicken broth 6 bell peppers Directions
Ingredients
1. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Fill a large bowl or pot with half ice and half water. When the water comes to a boil, add the broccoli florets using a strainer with a handle if possible. Allow the broccoli to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just tender. Immediately remove from the boiling water, using the strainer or draining, and transfer to bowl of ice to stop the cooking process. Immerse the broccoli completely in the ice water for a minute or two. Remove and place in a dish that has been lined with paper towels. This part can be done up to two days in advance. 2. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and brown sugar; set aside. 3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the broccoli and season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the broccoli, then cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and dust with the Parmesan cheese mixture. INGREDIENTS
