A while back I read this fascinating article titled “The Island Where People Forget to Die“. I’ve read other articles more recently about what have been dubbed the “Blue Zones” – places in the world where people live extraordinarily long lives. These places have a few things in common, one of which is that their residents tend to eat a mostly plant-based diet. When another article about the Blue Zones came out recently in the New York Times I was intrigued by the description of the Ikarian Stew, especially since we’ve been getting fennel from our CSA and I’m never quite sure what to do with it. I found the recipe easily on-line and made it for dinner last night. It was super simple and really delicious. And it was a great way to use some additional CSA veggies, like onions and tomatoes. I cooked this in the Instant Pot – 18 minutes on high pressure – and it came out perfect but the stove top method is simple as well. I have to admit, a half cup of olive oil seemed like a lot so I didn’t use that much but still it was great. We enjoyed ours over whole wheat penne and I’m sure we’ll be making it again!
