White beans and kale with parsnips on Meatless Monday
The film Forks Over Knives has been called "vegan propaganda" by some and lauded as a truth-filled wake-up call by others. I haven't seen it, but that didn't stop me from picking up the official Forks Over Knives Cookbook as soon as it was available. This is an adaptation on the book's white beans and escarole with parsnips recipe; we used kale instead of escarole, halved the amount of parsnips, and added apple cider vinegar and red pepper flakes for a little extra flavor kick.
