Italian Wedding Soup Remix
A rustic Italian Wedding Soup variant. Combines pork, veal, and beef boulettes with fresh herbs, a mix of chicken and vegetable broth, fresh spinach, and lemon juice for brightness. Small pasta pearls cook until just tender. Parmesan rind simmers to enrich broth. Aromatics sweated just right; boulettes browned in batches to avoid steaming. Adjust herbs and spice to taste. Swap orzo for fregola or tiny elbows. Guidance on texture cues, avoiding overcooked noodles and dry meatballs. A home cook’s approach that prioritizes hands-on techniques over timing, flavor balance with acidity and savory meld. Simple, flexible, forgiving.
Lentil Rice with Roasted Brussels Leaves
A hearty blend of puy lentils, basmati rice, and savory aromatics simmered in vegetable broth with paprika and thyme. Roasted Brussels leaves add a nutty crisp layer. Adjust spices to taste, and swap lentils for green if needed. Lazy prep with mindful simmering ensures rice soft but retaining bite. Oven-roasted greens while lentils cook saves time. Perfect for veggie-forward mains, naturally gluten and dairy free, stable pantry recipe.
