One-pot greens, beans and grains. This abundant pot of greens, beans and grains can be eaten warm or cold, and it readies three components of your next grain bowl in one swoop. Food styled by Judy Kim. (Linda Xiao, The New York Times)My big idea to kick off the year actually isn’t big at all — and that’s on purpose. Starting small is the key to forming a new habit you’ll stick with beyond tomorrow. My plan is to eat more greens, beans and grains.
Together, they are one of the most essential, delicious, affordable, nutritious and versatile combinations of foods. (Did I miss any superlatives?) If my plate or bowl includes all three, I know I’ll be happy and well fed. This week’s recipes are vibrant, sustaining and full of these mighty three, including a flexible new technique that cooks any beans, any greens and any grains together in one pot. Since I’ve developed the recipe, I’ve repeated it often. It is indeed habit-forming.Many filling, flavorful and flexible meals are within reach with this technique: It produces fluffy grains, just-soft-enough greens and creamy and garlicky beans all in one pot. Customize your mix based on your cravings and your pantry: Use any dark leafy greens and any cooked legumes. Use quinoa, rice or a mix of the two for a variety of textures; for other grains, refer to the cooking instructions on their package and add the greens in the last 5 to 7 minutes. You can infuse the grains with flavor by stirring ground spices or other seasonings into the pot. Add brightness with lemon and garnish wildly — or not at all. This meal can be eaten warm or cold, which means lunchtime grain bowls are now easier to pull off.Toppings (optional): toasted nuts or seeds, fresh herbs, grated or crumbled cheese, soft-boiled egg, avocado, hot sauce or other sauces and so on1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring the water, quinoa and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 13 minutes. 2. While the quinoa cooks, drain and rinse the beans, then transfer to a small bowl. Finely grate the garlic over the beans, then add the oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Set aside. Remove and discard any tough stems from the greens, then roughly chop the leaves. 3. After 13 minutes, arrange the greens on top of the quinoa and season well with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the quinoa is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. (When the quinoa is tender, it’s also translucent and has a thin white tail.) Remove the pot from heat, scrape the beans over the greens, then cover the pot and let sit for 5 minutes. 4. Finely grate some of the lemon zest over the beans and greens, then cut the lemon into wedges. Eat the beans, greens and grains with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and any toppings you like.Salmon soba noodles with ponzu-scallion sauce. Kay Chun’s soup is delicate with flakes of poached salmon, wobbles of tofu and tender slivers of cabbage, but there’s also an unshakable savoriness from its dashi base, slurps of soba noodles and a final drizzle of citrusy, soy-based ponzu sauce. Food styled by Barrett Washburne. (Bryan Gardner, The New York Times)Quick-cooking, earthy soba, made entirely from buckwheat or a combination of buckwheat and wheat flour, are perfect for easy weeknight dinners and can be enjoyed either chilled or in warm dishes. In this speedy noodle soup, dashi powder — an instant soup stock made from dried powdered bonito (skipjack tuna) that functions similarly to bouillon cubes — and subtly sweet cabbage help create a flavorful broth quickly. Salmon is thinly sliced and poached in the broth just before serving. A tangy and vibrant ponzu-scallion sauce balances the rich fatty fish, while grated daikon adds freshness, texture and a subtle bite.8 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 pound center-cut skinless salmon fillet, halved down the center and each piece sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick1. In a large pot, combine cabbage, dashi powder and 8 cups of water, and bring to boil over high heat. Partially cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and flavors have melded, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 2. Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook soba according to package instructions. Drain and run under cool water to remove excess starch and to stop the cooking. Drain well and divide soba among 4 bowls. 3. In a small bowl, mix scallions with ponzu, oil and ginger and set aside. Once cabbage is tender, add tofu and bring broth back to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and arrange salmon slices on top so that they’re slightly overlapping and just covered by the broth. Cover and cook until salmon is just opaque throughout, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (The fish will continue to cook off the heat.) 4. Divide broth and salmon among the 4 bowl
