What a muffin! Soft, moist, unbelievable-smelling, and addictively delicious! I’d seen this recipe over at Anne’s Food and had it tucked away, waiting for a lazy Sunday morning to give them a try. And I’m so, so happy that lazy morning rolled around today!
This is something I saw Lidia Bastianich do on one of her shows, and is it fabulous! Sometimes her sense of flavoring is a bit bland for me (I am a Flavor Junkie after all!) but this one is just spot-on!
Since I just watched the show and tried re-creating it without an actual recipe, please use the amounts below as guidelines, rather than directives.
Dinner tonight was something quick, healthy and delicious. I love diet-friendly dishes that are so packed with flavor you would never know they’re diet unless someone told you. That’s my version of healthy living, let me tell you—no denial! *Smile*
I based it on this recipe from Gourmet, adjusting it to make it diet friendly (almost no fat!), work with what I had in house, and–as always—increasing the sauce. I’m not including a photo….and you should be thanking me for this, trust me. The vegetables were delicious…but as I used only greens and whites, and as they were cooked for a good bit of time in the liquid…..they were the limp equivalent of a 1970-s kitchen. *smile* You know, avocado.
I saw this recipe from Martha Stewart and had tucked it away–knowing one day soon it was going to come in handy. I was looking for a starch to go with ham and lamb, had a bunch of leeks in the fridge so as soon as I saw this recipe again, I knew it was the time to make it.
