When the cook time is over, turn off the Instant Pot by pressing the ‘Turn Off’ button. Carefully quick release the pressure with a wooden spatula by turning the valve to releasing. Make sure you don’t hurt your hands from the steam.

• Add onion to pot and let cook until soft, 2-3 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Season with salt, pepper and oregano. Add vegetable stock and potatoes and cook over medium heat, until potatoes are tender, 23 to 25 minutes.
  
• Stir in kale and let cook until leaves are tender and bright green, 1-2 minutes, then stir in heavy cream and simmer 2 minutes more.

TIPS & NOTES

* You can use turkey sausage instead of pork sausage to make a healthier Zuppa Toscana.

 

** For Paleo and Whole 30 Zuppa Toscana, substitute the potatoes with chopped cauliflower florets. And use the dairy-free option below.

 

*** For dairy-free Zuppa Toscana, substitute heavy cream with cold coconut cream. Make sure that your can of coconut milk is refrigerated and use only the solid white cream from the can.

 

FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS

This soup freezes well, just omit the cream and the kale when freezing. Add them to the soup when you reheat it before serving.

Pomegranate Kale Salad

 

For the salad

• 1 cup pomegranate seeds
• 2 cups chopped baby kale
• 2 cups cooked wild rice (you can use leftover rice or buy precooked)
• 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
• 1/4 cup feta cheese (omit for vegans)

For the dressing

• 1/2 cup minced onion or shallot
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons honey (sub agave for vegans)
• 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 squeeze lemon or orange juice

 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Prep the salad ingredients (chop, rinse, toast, etc). Chill the ingredients in the fridge while you’re making the dressing if you want a cold salad.
• Mince the shallot or onion and saute in 1/2 tablespoons olive oil to reduce the bite. When soft and fragrant, remove from heat and transfer to a food processor. (If you want a stronger flavor for your dressing, skip the sauteing altogether. The shallot in particular works well for this.)
• Pulse the onions or shallot with the remaining olive oil, water, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and orange juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust. Add additional olive oil or water to keep the mixture moving through the food processor.
• Toss the salad ingredients together with the dressing just before serving. I prefer to serve this at room temperature or chilled slightly.

California Roasted Sweet Potato Kale Salad Recipe

Ingredients
* For the dressing:
* ¼ cup tahini
* ½ teaspoon garlic powder
* 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
* 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
* ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
* Lots of freshly ground black pepper
* 2-3 tablespoons warm water, to thin the dressing
* For the salad:
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 medium to large sweet potato, cut into ½ inch cubes (or 2 cups cubed sweet potato)
* 1 bunch of Tuscan kale, stems removed and very finely chopped (or 8-10 cups chopped kale)
* 1/2 cup dried cranberries
* 1 avocado, sliced or diced
* ½ cup wasabi peas* (or roasted salted chickpeas), for crunch
* For the sweet and spicy:
* ½ cup spark of spices whole roasted cashews click here to order: https://amarilloeatsorganic.com/products/whole-roasted-cashews-spark-of-spices

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cubed sweet potatoes onto the pan and drizzle with olive oil; toss well to coat the sweet potatoes in oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway through. (I used leftovers)
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing: tahini, garlic powder, fresh lemon juice, pure maple syrup, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and water. I like to start with 2 tablespoons of water, but you may need 3 total tablespoons to achieve a creamy dressing that is easily pourable. You’ll want to be able to coat all of the kale nicely so a thinner dressing is better. Set dressing aside.
3. Add the finely chopped kale to bowl & pour the dressing over. Use a tongs to coat the kale with the dressing; you REALLY want to get it mixed well. Allow the dressing to sit with the kale for 15 minutes or longer to help the kale marinate with the dressing. Add in your roasted sweet potato cubes, cranberries, avocado and wasabi peas or roasted chickpeas. Give the salad a gentle toss to combine.
5. Finally top with cashews #sunshinenutcompany #amarillo

Whole 30 Roasted potatoes, kale, egg breakfast
PREP 20 minutes | ROAST 30 minutes | TOTAL 50 minutes | SERVES 4
The creaminess of the roasted potatoes nicely balances the hearty texture of the kale in this sheet-pan hash. Using pre-chopped kale saves the time of washing, stripping, and chopping the greens.
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
11/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chopped kale (see Tip)
8 large eggs
4 green onions, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Roasted Potato and Kale Hash with Eggs
PLACE a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
COMBINE the potatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat. Spread on the baking pan. Roast until the potatoes are just tender and starting to brown, about 20 minutes.
REDUCE the oven temperature to 400°F. Add the kale to the pan and stir until the kale wilts, returning the pan to the oven for a few minutes if necessary. Make six indentations in the hash and carefully break an egg into each indentation. Roast until the egg whites are set, 8 to 10 minutes more. Top with the green onions, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve.
