black bean burger!
always wanted to make, and for my birthday, some friends gave me this food processor, which i also used to make the pesto.
so i finally made this burger : )
also made some side dishes using fresh seasonal produce from the farmer's market.
potato-cucumber salad
arugula and heirloom tomato salad/
so convenient!
another pasta with the pesto.
this time, sugar snap pea and shell pea.
wow, this is yum!
using the cilantro pesto that i made a few days ago (kept it in the freezer), i made simple green pesto with broccoli and shell pea, both from union square market : )
of course, cilantro is from the farmer's market, too : )
also with the fresh ingredient from the market, i made arugula and calamari salad.
simple dressing, but the peppery flavor of arugula was amazing!
saturday mornings, i go to union square farmer's market, and get freshest food for the week.
now the market is abundant with summer produce.
so i made summer pasta using green pea, heirloom tomato, cilantro (made vegan pesto), and little neck clam (also from the market).
with whole wheat linguine, this pasta turned out just fabulous : )
monday dinner is always simple, yet nutritious, balanced and tasty.
also important is presentation.
and for my birthday, some friends gave me these beautiful bowls by a japanese artist living in NYC!
inside is aduki bean and kabocha squash.
very sweet and good for your pancreas : )
the other is a simply steamed broccoli and cauliflower. (yes, now a broccoli season!)
dressing, tahini-miso.
