1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced celery
¼ cup oil
1 cup chopped leeks
1/3 cup minced onion
3 Tbsp cornstarch or flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp ground cardamom
In a medium pot, bring the water, potatoes, carrot, and celery to a low boil.
Meanwhile, mix the oil, garlic, leeks, onion, cornstarch/flour, salt, and pepper in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cornstarch browns. Stir into the stew.
Add the rest of the seasonings and allow to simmer over low heat until the potatoes and carrots are soft and the stew is thick.

¾ cup cold buttermilk
2 Tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup butter
½ cup blueberries (fresh, frozen, or dried)
sugar
cardamom
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the blueberries (if using frozen, bring them to room temperature and pat them dry). Add milk, brown sugar/honey, and egg, stirring just until moist.
Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is all together. Place on a baking sheet that is either greased, or lined with parchment. Form dough into an approximately ¾” thick, 9” circle. Cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.
Sprinkle cardamom and sugar on top. Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.

Crust:
1 cup flour
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
¼ cup butter
¼ cup yogurt
Filling:
1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese
2 Tbsp honey
1 large egg
Topping:
2-4 apples, cored and cut into ¼” slices
1/8 tsp cardamom
1/8 tsp allspice
2 Tbsp honey
Preheat oven to 450° F. Grease 9” pie pan.
Crust: Stir together flour and sugar. Cut in butter and yogurt until the dough forms. Press the dough onto the bottom and one inch up the sides of the pan.
Filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the honey and mix well. Blend in the egg. Pour the filling into the crust.
Topping: Toss the ingredients together, to coat the apple slices. Place apple slices in a decorative fashion on the top of the tart. You want it to be about double layered with apple slices.
Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400° F and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown (apples are soft when pierced with a fork), and filling is almost set. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
