Ukiah's Recipes

In episode 7 of Ukiah Digby for Coroner, Ukiah cooks a vegan meal for his significant other, Travis. By popular demand, here are the recipes for the dishes mentioned. Buen provecho! Portobello Wellington Herbed Roasted Vegetables Apple and Beet Salad 8-10 red beets 6 McIntosh-type apples 8 large heads Belgian endive 3 med heads radicchio 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup olive oil lemon juice Wash and trim the beets and 3 apples and roast in oven at 350 degrees F until tender (about 25 minutes for the beets, less for the apples). When done, remove from oven and allow to cool. Peel and dice the other three apples and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning in a large bowl. Peel and dice the roasted beets and add to the diced apple until well coated. Reserve remaining dressing for drizzling on individual servings, as needed. Peel and core the baked apples and combine with balsamic vinegar and olive oil in food processor. Blend until creamy. Pour dressing over the apple and beet cubes and mix. Wash, trim, and dry the endive and radicchio. Tear the radicchio into large but manageable pieces, and separate the endive leaves but leave them whole. Arrange them on a serving platter. Place the apple-beet mix on top.
