Recipe:

Ingredients: eggplant , carrots , parsnips, onion , garlic , roasted red peppers , diced tomatoes , ground beef or lamb, olive oil + fresh &/or dried herbs & for yogurt sauce: Greek yogurt + lemon + herbs

Cut up veggies. Layer in crock pot: olive oil, half of the eggplant, carrots, parsnips, onions, garlic, and then add the ground beef/lamb. Season well with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and some cinnamon. Then top with the rest of the veggies. Drizzle more olive oil & season again.

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Toss well so all flavors blend, add fresh chopped parsley and then serve with some yogurt sauce. Yogurt sauce: Greek whole yogurt + lemon juice + salt + fresh herbs (parsley &/or mint – I used parsley here).

Enjoy!

The post A bastardized version of moussaka that you can easily make in a crock pot & that packs a lot of flavor & nutrients appeared first on In the Kitchen with Nora.

Recipe:

Ingredients: 1-1.5 lbs chicken thighs or breast (I used thighs), 2 cans Great Northern or cannellini beans drained and rinsed, 2-3 4oz cans hatch green chiles, medium onion , 4 cloves of garlic , 4 cups chicken stock or bone broth, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, Mexican spices to taste, fresh squeezed limes.
For toppings: jalapeños, green onion, cilantro , sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, lime & avocado . My avocado unfortunately was bad when I cut it open so I could not use it. ‍

Place chicken, beans, green chiles, stock, onion, garlic, spices in crockpot and cook on slow 6-7 hours or on high approx. 5 hrs.

If you want a creamier chili, take out 2 cups once cooked and blend in a blender, then pour back into pot. Shred the chicken & mix all. Top with toppings and enjoy.

The post With fall, I start using the crockpot more. And with long busy days. White bean chicken chili appeared first on In the Kitchen with Nora.

Recipe:

Bring meat to room temperature. Rinse and pat dry. Season pork loin well with garlic salt, paprika, cracked black pepper and coat well with stone ground mustard. Let sit while you prepare the veggies.

Cut salted pork into smaller pieces (you can also use thick cut bacon ). Clean and quarter mushrooms , chop red onion and garlic . Clean and chop kale . Rough cut Italian parsley.

Heat up iron skillet. Add avocado oil. Add the pork loin and salted pork pieces. Then add the onions, sauté for 1-2 min. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Season well with Umami seasoning (you can use just garlic salt & pepper if you don’t have it). Stir mushrooms well and once they start sweating put iron skillet in the oven at 400 for approx. 13-18 minutes.

When pork loin reaches 145 degrees, take out. Add the kale and mix in well with the mushrooms. Take pork loin out and place on cutting board to rest. Let veggies sit together for a couple of minutes. Add the Italian parsley and serve together with the pork.

Enjoy!

The post Long day at work and a mostly empty fridge calls for another salmon salad appeared first on In the Kitchen with Nora.

Recipe:

Place a layer of thick slices of onion (1/3 medium-large red onion) & lemon (1 lemon) on bottom of crock pot. Place pork shoulder on top with fatty side facing up . Season well with sea salt & pepper.

Cook on low for 4.5-5 hrs. Then pour your favorite BBQ sauce over the pork ( ~ 3/4 bottle of bbq sauce). We used @gourmet_warehouse Cherry Jalapeño BBQ sauce and it made for an amazing pairing.

Cook on low for another 2 hours.

Pull the pork apart with 2 large forks and mix well with the sauce in the pot.

Serve with a red cabbage & cucumbers salad dressed with avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, sea salt.

Enjoy!
