Igor's Special Recipes

Ingredients :

6 ounces pasta (any kids, your choice)

2 cups bite size broccoli flowerets

1 large ripe tomato (or 2 to 3 ripe roma tomatoes), chopped

1/4 cup chopped reed onion or sliced scallions

1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp vinegar (red wine or balsamic) or more to taste

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp minced garlic

1/4 tsp curry powder, or more to taste

dash of cayenne pepper

dash of ground black pepper

salt (or tamari) to taste

Cook the pasta until it is al dente. Do not drain. Remove the pot from the heat, and add the broccoli flowerets. Cover with a lid and let the pasta and broccoli sit for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander. While the pasta and broccoli are sitting, combine the remaining ingredients except the salt or tamari in a large bowl. Add the drained pasta and broccoli and toss gently but thoroughly. Taste, add more vinegar if you like a sharper flavor. Season with salt or tamari. Toss again and serve.

This is a great last minute company dish as it is easily doubled and takes practically no time to prepare.

Serves 4 - 6
