    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a small bowl, dissolve tamarind paste in 2 Tbsp / 30 mL hot water and set aside.
    2. Place mussels in a large bowl of water to remove any remaining sand. Debeard mussels if necessary.
    3. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves and sauté until fragrant. When seeds begin to splutter, add chopped onions and cook for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Add the paprika, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp / 30 mL water and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, or until spices are cooked.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Whisk the egg, egg white, and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Sift the coconut flour into the mixture and whisk again until well combined. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

    2. While the wrap batter is resting, toss together the chicken, artichoke hearts, red onion, baby spinach, and Italian dressing. Keep the filling refrigerated until needed.

    3. Add the cooking spray to a 10-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Let the pan heat until a drop of water sizzles in the bottom of the pan.

    4. Re-whisk the wrap batter and then pour 1/4 cup of the wrap batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan (add a little more if needed to coat the bottom of the pan). Let the wrap cook until the edges begin to brown. Using a spatula, flip the wrap and continue to cook for another minute. Slide the wrap on to a plate and continue this process to make 6 “wraps” or crepes. Let the wraps cool.

    5. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among each wrap (about 1/2 cup of filling per wrap) and roll.

    How to Make Light And Fluffy Spinach And Cheese Strata

    Author Aviva Goldfarb: “It took me a few attempts, but I finally made the strata of my dreams. In case you aren’t familiar with it, strata is an Italian baked egg and bread dish. This is a great dish to serve at a brunch, especially because you can make it in advance, but it also makes a nice change for a family dinner. Serve with blueberries or blackberries.”

    8servings


    2 1/4 × 3 1/4-inch piece

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. DO AHEAD OR DELEGATE: Defrost the spinach, combine and refrigerate the eggs and the milk, shred the cheese, if necessary, and refrigerate, combine the dry seasonings, cube the bread, or fully assemble and refrigerate the strata.
    2. Defrost the spinach in the microwave or on the stovetop. Spray a 9 × 13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the bacon, if necessary.
    3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and the milk. Whisk in the cheeses, herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the spinach, bacon (optional), and bread cubes until the bread is completely moistened. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, smoothing it with the back of a spoon, if necessary. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
    4. When you are ready to bake it, remove the strata from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake it in the center of the oven, uncovered, for 45–50 minutes until it is browned on the edges and cooked through in the center. Cut into squares to serve.
    5. SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: In the slow cooker, whisk together the eggs and the milk, then whisk in the cheeses, herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the spinach, bacon, and bread cubes until the bread is completely moistened. Cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)
