    How to Make Garlicky Ginger Eggplant

    This asian-inspired vegetable dish features eggplant, mushrooms, and bean sprouts in a garlic-ginger hoisin sauce. The recipe calls for Chinese or Japanese eggplant, which is long and skinny. If you can’t find Chinese eggplant, you can sub in regular eggplant and chop into 1-inch cubes. This could be a side dish or a vegetarian main dish. Add tofu or other plant-based protein source for a complete vegetarian meal.

  • Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce

    Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce

    How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce

    Tomatoes are high in potassium, meaning tomato sauce is usually off limits for someone managing kidney disease on a low potassium diet. This kidney-friendly sauce replaces half the tomatoes with roasted red peppers for a lower potassium sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a replacement for tomato sauce in recipes. And, it tastes great! You can use store bought roasted red peppers (look for the lowest sodium option) or roast red bell peppers at home. You can easily double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch and freeze some for later.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Fill a flat round cake pan with water. Place a
      clean, smooth (not fuzzy) kitchen towel on your work
      surface. Arrange the lettuce, tofu, carrots, cucumber,
      sprouts, and mint into individual piles on a plate.
    2. Put 1 rice paper in the water. Soak until pliable.
      Place the rice paper on top of the kitchen towel. Blot
      dry. The paper should be sticky, not slippery. Stack
      the ingredients as follows, one on top of the other on
      the side of the paper closest to you: 1 lettuce leaf,
      1 piece of tofu, some carrot, cucumber, sprouts, and
      2 mint leaves, one beside the other.
    3. Fold the side of the paper that is farthest from
      you over the filling tightly. Be careful not to tear it.
      Fold in the sides, and roll all the way to the end.
      Repeat this step with the remaining ingredients.

    Whole-Wheat Spinach Parathas

    How to Make Whole-Wheat Spinach Parathas

    Paratha is a type of flatbread that originated in the northern part of India, where it is still popular. It’s part of a traditional Indian breakfast, but can also be served alongside lunch or dinner.


    1 hr prep time


    10 min cook time


    8servings


    1 paratha

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Remove from the skillet. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining pieces of dough and remaining oil. Serve hot.
    2. Turn the paratha. Brush with
      ¼ tsp of the remaining oil. Continue cooking for about 3–4 minutes per side, turning as necessary, until the edges are brown on both sides. Using a flat spatula, press the middle of the paratha as it’s cooking so it cooks evenly.
    3. Preheat a cast iron griddle or
      flat skillet over medium-high heat. Place one piece of dough in the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute,
      or until it begins to bubble.
    4. After the standing time, knead
      the dough once again. Shape into 8 balls. Lightly dust your work
      surface with the remaining 1 Tbsp flour. Using a rolling pin, flatten
      each dough ball so it’s 6 inches
      in diameter.
    5. To make the dough for the paratha: mix 2 cups flour and the remaining ¼ tsp salt in a shallow dish. Add the spinach mixture to the flour mixture. Add water, little by little, to form a smooth dough
      (similar to the consistency of a pizza dough). Knead the dough until smooth. Transfer to a glass bowl. Cover with a damp towel. Set
      aside for 30 minutes to an hour
      at room temperature.
    6. Add the spinach and ¼ tsp salt. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the moisture released from the spinach is absorbed and the base becomes dry. Add the amchoor powder and cumin, stirring well. Remove from the heat. Set aside to cool.
    7. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1 tsp oil over medium-high heat.
      Add the ajwain seeds, gingerroot, and chile. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently.
