SolBe Families,

The Mighty Onion

For centuries onions have been used to heal, cure, soothe, in spiritual ceremonies and as cash crops, and don’t we need all of those things now. With great anti-viral properties and one of the first crops harvested here in New England annually, the onion has shown up in all her glory at a perfect time this year. As we explore the onion for it’s taste, let’s also explore the ways that natives have used the skins to make gorgeous fabric or egg dyes, and all the layers to explore colors, smells and maybe even some tears. In the words of the Seed Huntress, Sefra Alexandra herself, “in Vitamin-C we trust”

For our Onion Ravioli recipe, you’ll need

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm Water
  • Sea Salt
  • SolBe-provided Spring Onion Filling
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Rolling Pin or any water bottle, cup or wooden dowel
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Large Sauce Pot

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, mark a well in the center.

2. Add the olive oil and water to that well and mix together with a fork. Slowly incorporate more and more flour into the center so it mixes smoothly.

3. Once all flour is combined, knead for 10 minutes.

4. Let dough ball rest for 30 minutes covered with plastic wrap.

5. Roll out dough to the thinnest possible thickness without it breaking. It may help to cut the dough into smaller portions prior to rolling out.

6. Cut dough into 2-inch squares, or get creative. Note: you want some symmetry so edges line up. 

7. In the center of half of your squares, add 1 tsp of the Spring Onion Filling.

8. Cover with a square.

9. Blend edges with a fork.

10. Bring water to a rapid boil on the stovetop

11. Add salt to your water to prevent sticking and for extra flavor (water should be as salty as the sea).

12. Add Raviolis

13. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

14. Strain

15. Serve with some EVOO and a sprinkle of salt or your favorite sauce.

The SolBe Team


Be Supported

We’ve felt the uncertainty that occurs when our children are in the care of someone else. At SolBe, we know you will always be your child’s first teacher; we’re here as a knowledgeable partner in your child’s education.

From our experience, children rise to the intellectual life of those around them, so we are committed to growing as individuals and as a team. You can count on us to provide a warm and engaging learning experience for your little one.

Be Inspired

We’ve spent thousands of hours in classrooms that either overstimulate, underwhelm, or actively prevent educators from delivering the highest-quality education and care. At SolBe, you’ll go beyond the traditional four-walled classroom.

Our award-winning, inventive and uplifting learning spaces stimulate the senses and instill feelings of home-like safety and comfort. They allow for your child’s, and our educators’, changing needs and emotions. They create room for wonder—for learning, and living, outside the lines.

Be Immersed

We’ve seen what’s lost when things are done the way they’ve always been done before. SolBe is an adaptive Spanish exposure program that refuses to accept the status quo.

Our inventive practices grow from the shoulders of giants, with roots in the Reggio Emilia approach, the Montessori method, and well-researched cognitive disciplines that attend to the whole child. We create opportunities to develop character attributes that your child will benefit from for a lifetime. Collaboration. Communication. Independence. Healthy risk-taking. Critical thinking. Emotional awareness. Resilience. Intellectual curiosity. Creative innovation. An authentic love of life and learning.

Be Well

We know what it’s like to forget to feed ourselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SolBe, we understand it’s impossible for you to pour from an empty cup. And we do what we can to keep your cup full.

Our learning ecosystem is designed with children and educators—and you—in mind. Seed-to-table nutrition program. Yoga and mindfulness. An all-inclusive experience so you don’t need to worry about finding time to provide meals, diapers, or wipes (unless you want to). Evening and weekend family programs.
