Barley corn basil risotto

Courtesy of Martha Stewart.
I found this in one of my cookbooks, and lo and behold, it's available on line too.  It was delicious.

I love risotto because you can make it in a pressure cooker and it's fast. The problem with barley risotto is that you can't - it will foam and clog up the cooker.  So.  Lots of stirring. It took too long.  We started too late (because my husband wasn't listening so well when I told him he needed to work on dinner because I was tired).

Anyhoo, at 7:15 pm we started eating.  Sorry for the bad pic, it's a cell phone pic. Who am I kidding - my regular pics aren't great either.  My camera was dead because I moved a bunch of pictures off and forgot to turn it back off.

Barley, corn, and basil risotto:
1 cup pearl barley: 0.40
4 cups vegetable stock: 1.99
2 cups frozen corn: 1.05
2 cups fresh basil: 1.00
2 Tbsp olive oil: 0.23
1/2 cup white wine: 1.00
1/2 cup grated parmesan: 0.75
1 medium onion: 0.40
S&P

Total: $6.82 for what is supposed to be 4 servings, but was really more like 5.  So...$1.36 per serving.  You could use cheaper wine, or leave it out.  And make your own vegetable stock.  But I was being lazy and bought stock.

Single Parent Food

Bean tacos (yes, that is sliced American cheese, didn't feel like shredding) and steamed veggies.

Stir-fry tofu and frozen veggies with quinoa.

A Picture's Worth a 1000 words, right?

I hope so, because I don't really have time for recipes, just pictures.
Split pea soup.

No knead rye bread (which I kneaded, because I needed it to be done more quickly. This stuff is AWESOME!)

Lemon-poppy seed cake (a little bland).

Mexican-style fried rice and quinoa

Baked chicken

Red beans with garlic

We layer the rice (too spicy! Man, only 1 TBSP of last year's roasted hot peppers, and the kid can't eat it), beans, chicken, and cheese into one bowl/plate.

Pressure Cooker Brown Rice Risotto

You see, I googled that exact phrase. And found...nothing. I found other questions about it. I found comments like "you can't make risotto from brown rice" and "you can make risotto from short-grain brown rice, but it needs more time and more liquid". But nothing about doing it in a pressure cooker. I love the pressure cooker, because you can do regular risotto in 5 mins at high pressure.

So I found a chart that said brown rice needs 18 minutes at high pressure. And I have several risotto recipes in Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen. So I decided to wing it.

And it turns out - you CAN make pressure cooker brown rice risotto. Sure, it's not like the real thing, but it's still pretty good. Just don't forget the salt. I usually use vegetable bouillon instead of stock, and the last time I bought my bouillon, the store only had unsalted. Okay, everything is coming out under-seasoned.

Pressure Cooker Brown Rice Risotto:
1 Tbsp canola oil: 0.03
1 small onion, chopped: 0.20
1 small zucchini, diced: 0 from a coworker
1.5 cup short-grain brown rice: 1.13
1 vegetable bouillon cube: 0.38
4 cups water
1 cup frozen peas: 0.40
2 oz goat cheese: 0.80
handful parsley, chopped
sprinkle parmesan: 0.25
salt and pepper to taste

Total: $3.19 for about 8 cups, or 0.40 per cup.

Saute onion and zucchini in oil until soft. Add rice and stir until coated with the oil. Add water and vegetable bouillon. Close pressure cooker. Bring to high pressure. Reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook 18 minutes. Release pressure using quick-release method.

Stir well and let thicken a bit. Add parsley, salt, pepper, peas, and cheeses.

Quinoa tabouli

Mixture of red and regular quinoa.

Couscous

This falls into the category of "use up bits and pieces" dinner. I served this with bread and tapenade (both storebought) and veggie sandwiches (leftover from a work lunch that I wasn't invited to, but I got the leftovers).

Couscous with veggies
1 T canola oil: 0.04
1 onion, diced: 0.33
1.5 cup couscous: 1.03
1.5 cup water
3 small kohlrabi, peeled and diced: 1.00
1 small head broccoli, chopped: 1.00
3 pieces green garlic, chopped: 0.30
juice and zest of 1 lemon: free
salt and pepper
Total: $3.70 for about 8 servings. $0.46 per serving

topped with parmesan and avocado. Yum!

Boil water, pour over couscous, cover and let sit. I left it covered in the fridge all day.

Saute onion until soft. Add kohlrabi and cook until onions and kohlrabi are brown. Add green garlic and broccoli and 1/4 cup water, cover and steam 4 min.

Add cooked couscous, salt, pepper, and lemon juice and zest. Stir to warm through.

Barley "Risotto"

This recipe was something I made earlier in the week and was inspired by a recipe in Moosewood Restaurant Cooks for Health. I used chard, because it was the only veggie I had left in the house. And lemon and peas.

Chard Barley Risotto
1 T. olive oil: 0.11
1/2 large onion, chopped: 0.17
2 cloves garlic, pressed: 0.10
1 bunch chard: 1.50
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh thyme: 0.10
1/4 tsp dried rosemary: 0.05
1 T soy sauce: 0.08
1/2 tsp black pepper: 0.01
1 cup pearled barley: 0.50
3.5 cups water
1/2 cup frozen peas: 0.30
juice and zest of one lemon: free
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese: 0.34
1/4 cup grated sharp white cheddar: 0.31
three chopped sun-dried tomatoes: 0.35

Total: $3.92 for about 6 cups, or $0.65 per cup.

This was pretty tasty and filling, but it definitely needed the salt (I tasted it before I added the salt).

First, wash chard. Then remove the leaves from the chard stems. Slice the chard stems. Saute the onions, garlic, and chard stems in the olive oil, covered, for about 5 min or until they soften. Remove the lid and heat until they start to turn brown.

In the meantime, chop the chard leaves into small pieces.

Add the herbs, soy sauce, barley, and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring every 20 mins or so, until water is absorbed. This will depend on your barley. Mine took 50 mins, mostly unattended. I did need to add about 1/2 cup more water.

When barley is cooked and most of the water is absorbed, add chard leaves, peas, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice and zest, cheeses, and salt and pepper if you didn't add that already. Stir for a few minutes until chard is wilted.

Sorry no picture. I am about four posts behind...crazy week.

Red Bean and Wheatberry Salad

I used this post from Cheap Healthy Good as a jumping off point. And I must say, I did a pretty good job. The inspiration came from a vacation-reading of Mark Bittman's Food Matters, which has a lot of good recipes, and the common-sense idea of cooking a pot of grain and a pot of beans each week. I have a ton of beans (class project...don't ask). And I'd bought wheatberries on a whim after reading about others trying them (I'd had them before, but not recently). So this salad is made up entirely of foods that we had in the pantry and fridge already.

And the good thing about CSA veggies? That celery from 1.5 weeks ago? Still fresh.

Red Bean and Wheatberry Salad
2 c. cooked red beans (from dried): 0.30
1 c. uncooked wheatberries: 0.35
juice and zest of one lemon: 0.39
3 Tbsp olive oil: 0.33
3 large green olives, chopped: 0.30
2 pieces roasted red peppers, chopped: 0.40
1 1/2 stalks celery, chopped: 0.20
1 oz crumbled feta: 0.38
1 clove garlic, pressed: 0.10
1/3 cup salsa: 0.40
1 cube parsley pesto from freezer: 0.20
salt and pepper to taste

Total: $3.35 for about 5 cups, or $0.67 per cup. This will feed us for two dinners with some leftovers, because only the spouse eats a full cup. We ate this with roasted potatoes and beets with onions.

I cooked up one full pound of red beans, which made 6 cups. Four cups went to the freezer, destined for later dishes. The last two cups went into the salad.

Then I cooked the wheatberries on the stove in 2.5 cups of water for about an hour. There was a little water left, so I drained it. Which I probably should have done when it was still warm, but I just stuck it in the fridge and did it later. So the salad is a bit wet. I hear it's a good idea to add the olive oil when the grains are warm also, but I didn't do that.

Mix everything. Eat. Delicious.

THREE NEW RECIPES

Can you tell I'm on vacation. Add to the fact that hubby is sick, and it's a darned near miracle that I tackled them all (as well as taking our son out and about for 3 hours to give my hubby some rest).

So, I bought this book Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I'd tried the no-knead bread recipes out there from the same folks, and even a version from Cook's Illustrated. Pretty good stuff. But now I have a pizza stone and peel, and I do love my bread. On my recent vacation, I picked up a copy of Mother Earth News, and there they were again...a few of the recipes from the new book. And I decided to try the Anadama Bread because my spouse used to have a bread machine recipe for it that we LOVED. (Alas, the bread machine died after about 12 years, and it turns out...recipes don't translate between manufacturers.)

So the bread recipe is here, and we still have three loaves' worth of dough in the refrigerator. This stuff is good!

Anadama corn bread

1 1/2 cups corn meal: 0.38

1/4 cup wheat germ: 0.80

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour: 0.69

3 cups unbleached all purpose flour: 0.62

1 Tbsp kosher salt

1/4 cup vital wheat gluten: 0.55

3 1/2 cups lukewarm water: $0

1/2 cup molasses: 1.00

Total: $4.04 for enough dough for four 1-lb loaves, or $1.01 per loaf.

*******************************

So, I also signed up for a series of emails for the vegan 21-day kickstart challenge. No, I'm not vegan, and I'm not likely to become one. But I do like looking at and trying the recipes. Today's recipe is here, and is a deliciously sweet soup. I slightly adapted it.

Vegan Carrot and Roasted Pepper Soup

1 Tbsp canola oil: 0.03

1 onion: 0.28

6-7 carrots, peeled and diced (about 1/2 lb): 0.35

1/3 jar of roasted red peppers, diced: 1.16

2 cups water

1 cube vegan vegetable bouillon: 0.37

2 cups unflavored soy milk: 1.25

juice of 1/2 lemon: 0.18

2 tsp balsamic vinegar: 0.15

pepper to taste

Total: $3.77 for four servings (1.5 cups each), or $0.94 per serving.

Saute onion in oil in a pot until soft. Add carrots and saute a bit more. Add water and bouillon cube. Cook 20 mins or until carrot is soft. Add peppers and heat through.

Add soy milk. Puree using immersion blender (or a real blender if you don't have an immersion blender). Add lemon juice, vinegar, and pepper.

************************

I found this last recipe in Martha Stewart Living. You know, grabbing a couple of magazines before getting on the train, and it beats Glamour. I have, of course, adjusted it a bit.

Quinoa with Mushrooms and Chard

1 cup quinoa: 0.94

2 cups water

1 Tbsp olive oil: 0.11

Handful of chard from the garden: $0

10 oz bag sliced cremini mushrooms: 2.29

2 cloves garlic, pressed: $0.10

1 Tbsp fresh minced parsley: 0

pinch dried thyme: 0.05

salt and pepper to taste

Total: $3.49 for about 5 cups, or $0.70 per cup.

Place quinoa in a strainer and set in a bowl. Cover with water and let sit a few minutes. Lift out strainer and pour water (it will look cloudy). Repeat. This gets the bitterness out of the quinoa.

Bring water to boil in a pot. Add quinoa, return to boiling. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and cook about 15 minutes, or until rings around quinoa start coming away from grains. At this point, there might be extra water, so I cook uncovered until it dries out.

Saute diced chard in 1 tsp oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove to bowl.

Add 2 more tsp oil to nonstick skillet. Add sliced mushrooms and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 min. Add salt and pepper to taste and pressed garlic. Continue to cook and stir about one minute. Add dried thyme and fresh parsley.

Add cooked quinoa and stir. Serve with chard on top.

I also put some parmesan on top. It needs a bit of something. For the leftovers, I'll likely add some olives or sun-dried tomatoes. Maybe some cooked chickpeas.

Bulgur Salad

You know, I might as well call this tabouli. It's a lot like tabouli. I decided to cook up some bulgur - it's fast, it's easy, and I was hot and tired this week (worst...work week...ever).

I got a bunch of great stuff from the CSA this week. Then I went out to my garden to pick some parsley, found a ripe cucumber (where did that come from?) some tomatoes (which I will cook up this weekend)...

After we ate the salad, I added some more stuff that wasn't quite ready by dinner time, so it looks less like tabouli than when I started.

I guess the lesson here is...put in whatever you've got.

I'm estimating some numbers here...I have no idea what flageolet beans cost!

Bulgur salad

1 cup bulgur wheat: 0.50

1 cup boiling water: 0

1 small bell pepper, diced: 0.30

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced: 0 (garden)

1/2 pt. cherry tomatoes, halved: 1.50 (from CSA)

2 cloves garlic: 0.10

handful of fresh parsley: 0

1 ear corn, steamed 10 min, cut from cob: 0.79

1/2 lb flageolet (shelled) beans, cooked 20 min in water: 1.00

1 Tbsp olive oil: 0.11

juice of 1 lemon: 0.15

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar: 0.15

salt and pepper to taste

Total: $4.60 for about 8 cups of food, or $0.58 per cup

We had this with shrimp (free from the neighbor) - and, my hubby doesn't like shrimp! Or any shellfish! I had no idea...this, after 13 years of marriage. And fresh corn from the CSA. My son ate 1.5 ears...he basically stole 1/2 of my ear. I'd complain, but when your kid wants to eat organic corn on the cob...you know, it beats cookies.

Spring Vegetable Risotto

I have a confession. I have never made risotto before. I've eaten it in restaurants a few times. But when I read the directions, the idea of constantly stirring something for 45 mins is not very appealing.

Enter (again) the pressure cooker. I am aware, because of Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen, that a pressure cooker greatly reduces the time it takes to make risotto, to about 15 min of cooking time. I just didn't do it.

Until now.

This week, I got a new issue of Vegetarian Times. And there was a "Spring Vegetable Risotto" recipe. For one thing, it called for green onions (we got a bunch at the farm this week) and fennel (which we got a few weeks ago). Sold! I looked at that recipe and a lemon-and-asparagus one from the Lorna Sass cookbook, and did a little combining.

Voila! It was delicious. And easy. And boy, I wish I had better camera skills. I look at many blogs and mine pale in comparison. But the Corelle dinnerware doesn't help. Then again, my photos aren't in published cookbooks, like Susan Voisan's are (http://www.fatfreevegan.com/). Her photos have graced the pages of Nava Atlas' Vegan Express.

This recipe also got a thumbs up from the toddler.

Spring Vegetable Risotto

1.5 cups arborio rice: $1.96

0.5 lb asparagus, tough stems removed: 1.00

1 c. fresh herbs (I used dill, basil, and parsley),c hopped: 1.94

4 oz goat cheese (I actually used a bit less): 2.49

1 bunch green onions, chopped: 1.00

1 fennel bulb, chopped: 0.75?

3.5 cup vegetable stock or water: free (see below)

5 cloves garlic, pressed: 0.30

1 T olive oil: 0.11

Total: $9.55 for 6 1-cup servings, or $1.59 per serving.

Put about 1.5 cups of water in the pressure cooker. Bring to a boil. Snap the asparagus spears to remove the tough ends. Add asparagus, and cover. Steam at medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.

Remove asparagus to a bowl with tongs. Pour cooking water into a heat-safe measuring cup (why waste it?) At this point, I add water to make 2 cups (because that's how big my measuring cup is), and I add some vegetarian stock bouillon. Which I don't know how much I paid for it. When cool, chope the asparagus into 1/2 inch pieces.

Heat oil in cooker over medium. Saute onions and fennel for 6-10 mins, until nice and soft. Remove half of the mixture and set aside. Add rice and garlic. Stir to coat with oil (I had to add a little more oil) and saute one minute. Add the 2 cups of stock from above, and another 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Cover and close the cooker. Bring to high pressure. Reduce heat enough to keep it at high pressure (2nd line for a Kuhn Rikon, or still rockin' for my Presto). Cook 5 min.

Remove from heat. Reduce pressure using fast-release method (running the lid under running cold water). Remove lid, facing away from you. It's hot! Stir.

Add in half the herbs and all of the asparagus. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve topped with the remaining herbs, the set aside onions and fennel, and crumbled goat cheese.

For the leftovers, I just mixed in the rest of the herbs and onion mixture.

Now, this is actually a bit pricey for me, as far as recipes go. You could decrease the cost by limiting or eliminating the goat cheese (but why?) Actually, I did limit it. Eliminating it makes it a vegan recipe. It would be cheaper with your own fresh herbs...the fresh parsley came from the freezer for me. I generally don't go buy fresh herbs, but it wasn't basil season here, so I made an exception.

You can use any spring veggies...leeks and peas are other good options (including frozen peas, which should be added after everything is cooked).

Broccoli couscous

Another decent recipe from Vegan Express by Nava Atlas, adjusted a bit, of course. This one took a little longer than 15 mins to make because I used organic broccoli from the CSA. And I spent 15 mins washing off as many little silver bugs as I could, and just cooked the rest.

Broccoli Couscous:
2/3 c. whole wheat couscous: 0.56
1.5 c. boiling water
3 c. chopped fresh broccoli: 1.12 (about 12 oz at $1.50/lb for organic)
1/4 c. chopped sun-dried tomatoes: 0.17
1/4 c. sliced kalamata olives: 0.30
1 red onion, quartered and thinly sliced: 0.67
the juice of 1 lemon, or 2 frozen lemon juice cubes: 0.25
1/4 c. fresh chopped parsley, or 4 frozen parsley cubes: 0.25
2 tsp dried dill: I got fresh dill last summer from CSA, and just let it sit on the counter...
1 T. olive oil: 0.22, or some leftover oil from the sun dried tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Total: 3.54 for 5 servings, or $0.71 per serving

Put couscous in a glass bowl. Boil water for 3 mins in microwave in microwave-safe dish. Add to couscous, cover with lid, let sit till you need it, then fluff with fork.

Saute onion in olive oil until golden brown. Add broccoli and a little bit of water. Cover, reduce heat, and steam 5 min.

Remove lid. Add parsley and lemon juice (especially if frozen), and stir until defrosted and some of the liquid has evaporated. Add fluffed couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, and kalamata olives. Stir. Add dried dill, which came last because I forgot about it. About three pinches.

Salt and pepper to taste.

This is another keeper. Next time I might add chickpeas.

Curried Cashew Couscous

We all know the appeal of the crockpot. Throw a bunch of stuff in, plug it in in the morning, come home to dinner ready.

But this blog notwithstanding, it's hard to come up with a menu plan full of crockpot meals.

Enter couscous. I got a new cookbook for Christmas: Vegan Express. The first recipe I tried was underwhelming. This one was pretty good. It's about a 3.5 out of 5 for taste, but it's a 6 out of 5 for ease. Seriously, took 15 mins. That's my kind of dinner. Pair it with microwaved veggies, and you're done. This is a keeper for the time, and for the fact that everything in it is in my pantry, except for the green onions. Those are hit or miss.

Curried Cashew Couscous
1 c. whole wheat couscous: 0.75
2 c. water: 0
1 tsp. vegetarian bouillon: 0.10
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger: 0.10
3 scallions, sliced: 0.30
1 c. frozen peas: 0.17
1/2 c. raisins: 0.16
1/2 c. cashews, chopped: 0.73
1/2 tsp. turmeric: 0.05
1 tsp curry powder: 0.10
2 T olive oil: 0.22
Salt and pepper
Total: $2.68 for 6 servings. $0.45 per serving.

Combine couscous, water, and bouillon in a nonstick skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir, cover, remove from heat. Let sit 5 to 10 min, or until water is absorbed.

Remove lid. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat for 5 mins or so, until well mixed and warmed through.

This becomes a 15 min meal if you do the couscous first, and chop while it's hydrating.

And finally! A use for curry powder. As much as I like Indian food, real recipes don't actually call for curry powder, they call for the ingredients. Thus, I have curry powder, but never use it.

Coconut rice

This was pretty good. I'd cut down on the coconut next time, because my husband thought there was too much. I got this recipe from recipezaar, but heavily edited it.

Coconut Rice
3 cups cooked brown rice: 0.62
1/2 c. toasted macadamias (leftover from our last trip to Hawaii??): $1.50? If I didn't have them, I'd use something else
1/2 c. toasted coconut: 0.25
2 T. canola oil: 0.08
1 carrot, diced: 0.08
1/2 cup frozen peas: 0.25
juice of 1 lime: 0.20
2 cloves garlic: 0.10
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin: 0.02
1/2 tsp cinnamon: 0.02
1/4 tsp cardamom: 0.05
total: $3.27 for four 1-cup servings, or $0.82 each

Pre-cook the brown rice, 'cuz I'm lazy.

Dice carrot and microwave with peas for 3 mins to cook.

Saute garlic, peas and carrot in oil for a couple of minutes. Add spices & saute 30 sec. Add rice & saute until heated through. Toss with lime juice, macadamias, and coconut.

Later on we mixed this with diced chicken for leftovers.

Couscous

So I took a single-day cooking class a few years ago. The teacher was quite opinionated, but her salads were good and healthy. She's single-handedly trying to eliminate fatty macaroni and potato salads from summer picnics.

Here is one of her recipes, adjusted of course.

Couscous Salad:

1 cup whole wheat couscous (6 oz): $0.63

1.5 cup boiling water

1/3 c. frozen peas, defrosted (0.08)

1/3 c. diced carrots, blanched 1 min in boiling water (0.04)

1/3 c. diced red onion (0.11)

1/4 c. fresh dill (0.75)

1/4 c. fresh parsley (I omitted this, 'cuz I didn't have it)

1/2 c. cooked chickpeas, from dried (0.08)

1 tsp salt

2 T. olive oil (0.21)

2 T. red wine vinegar (0.08)

freshly ground black pepper to taste

Total: $1.98 for 8 servings, 0.25 per serving

Pour boiling water over couscous, cover & let sit 10 min. Fluff with fork.

Mix remaining ingredients. Tastes even better the next day.

Quinoa Casserole

Ah, weekends and holidays...the days when I can spend a little more time cooking.

A few weeks ago, a walking friend named Amira decided to treat her fellow walkers to a delicious brunch. She is heading off to travel for awhile and wanted to say goodbye.

Amira is vegan, and the luncheon was a delicious vegan feast. I didn't stop talking about it for a week. All fresh and homemade, plenty of fresh herbs...her blog/website is listed to the left...Vegetarian Organic Life.

One of the items she served was a delicious quinoa casserole. I decided to make my own version from items on hand. Mine wasn't vegan, or even vegetarian, as I used leftover chicken stock to cook the quinoa. As my husband took my toddler to the hardware store, I did the prep work.

Here's an approximation of the recipe and pricing:
Quinoa casserole

1 cup dry quinoa (1.00)
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (1.00)
1 cup dry black beans (0.35)
1 can creamed corn (0.50) - I didn't have regular or frozen
1 small can El Pato (0.69), in honor of my friend Maryanne, who loves the stuff
1 8-oz package tempeh (I finally found it in the store!) (1.99)
1 onion, diced (0.17)
2 cloves garlic (0.05)
1 T canola oil (0.03)
seasoning: bragg's liquid aminos or soy sauce. Cayenne, cumin, garlic powder...just roll with it.
4 oz shredded cheddar (0.50)
1 package cornbread stuffing mix (1.00) - had this lying around

1. Rinse quinoa. Cook in stock - bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed.
2. Saute onion in canola oil until soft. Add crumbed tempeh and 2 cloves chopped garlic. Saute until it begins to brown. Add seasonings here and mix well.
3. Soak black beans 4-8 hours. Cook in pressure cooker for 3 min, allow pressure to reduce naturally. Drain black beans.
4. Spray baking dish with cooking spray. Layer:
quinoa
black beans
tempeh/onion mix
corn
El Pato
Cheese
Stuffing mix

Bake in 400F oven for 30 min. You'll probably have to put a lid on half way in to prevent stuffing from burning.

This made a lot. Dinner and probably at least two days of lunch, maybe three. Not bad for about $7.38 (or 0.90 to 1.20 per serving). Added bonus was that our toddler really liked it too. We served this with sauteed mixed vegetables, guacamole, sour cream, and tortilla chips. All told, about $1.75 per person for dinner, including veggies and add-ons.
