2 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Cook the pasta according to the package directions, adding the broccoli during the last minute. Drain and return the pasta and broccoli to the pot.Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, garlic, fennel seed, and red pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; season with ½ teaspoon salt.Toss the turkey mixture with the pasta and broccoli and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.

I used green beans in lieu of broccoli. Still was very good!

Lavash

Since I've needed to cut down on my carbs these days, I'm going for whole grain, sourdoughs, or flatbreads like Naan, Pita, and now Lavash.

Armenian Lavash is easy to make and it is great for a flatbread pizza, wrap, or anything else where you need to substitue a yeast-free bread.

Dissolve 1 1/2 T of table salt in 1 C hot water.
Add 3 C of flour to your mixer with the dough hook attached.
Make a well in the center of the flour and add about 1/3 of the salt water.
Begin to mix slowly and add the remaining water in a drizzle as you go.
Allow it to knead just until it pulls away from the bowl.
    
Cover and let rest 20 minutes.  Then divide into egg sized pieces and roll out flat to the diameter of your skillet.







I'm using a cast iron pan to do so.



Cook each side until browned, a few minutes on each side.


Once cooked,  you can make many things, but I made flatbread pizza.  Drizzle some EVOO, cheeses, fresh basil and toast until cheese melts.

Lumpia

Traditional  Filipino egg rolls loved by my son. Serve them with sweet chili sauce.

In 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, brown
1 pound ground pork. Remove from skillet. Add to skillet 2 cloves garlic, crushed, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup minced carrots, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup thinly sliced green cabbage, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
Saute until veggies soften, add pork in and mix. Let cool.

Using 30 lumpia wrappers (wonton wraps)... Place 1-2 T of the pork mixture. Roll up right & seal with a little water. Use 2 cups vegetable oil for frying until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.

You can also use beef or as pork/beef mix.
