This recipe comes from Andrew Scrivani by way of The New York Times in September 2011. It’s adapted from Ghillie Basan’s recipe in “Classic Turkish Cooking.” Smoked paprika makes its first of three appearances today.
Meat
Grilled Sausage and Eggplant Parmigiano Pizza
Are you game to try grilling a pizza? Seems like a great way to entertain as nights get just a little bit cooler. I’ve adapted this recipe from the August 2010 issue of Fine Cooking magazine. Substitute store-bought pizza dough (Trader Joe’s has balls of white and whole wheat pizza dough for about $1 each.) if you don’t want to make your own. No Riverview Italian sausage in your refrigerator? Run out to the Farm Mobile or one of their local markets this week.
Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup
If these cooler nights are making you think “soup”, here’s an easy, easy recipe. You could just roast the squash, onions and chicken and stop there, or you can cut it all up and turn it into soup. Your call.
Bratwurst, Butternut Squash and Collard Green Stew
This recipe is adapted from one on Chow.com. I think the smallish butternut squash in my box today may be just the right size!
Pan-Seared Catfish with Creamy Greens
This recipe is from the August 2012 issue of Fine Cooking. Of course, any fish will do.
Lemongrass Pork Sandwich
And finally, my plan for the daikon is to adapt this recipe. I was introduced to Lee’s Bakery on Buford Highway which the New York Times once declared had Atlanta’s best banh mi sandwiches. I don’t know about that, but I do know they sell their crusty rolls for 30 cents each. I bought a bag full. I’ve been growing lemongrass in a container and so will finally harvest my first stalk.
Cornmeal Crusted Catfish with Heirloom Beans and Tomato Gravy
This recipe is from Charleston’s renowned chef, Sean Brock. A little complicated but oh, so delicious.
Honey-Jalapeño Chicken Tenders
Adapted from a recipe in “The Farm: Rustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Food” by Ian Knauer. Long list of ingredients, simple directions and it will use up some of those jalapeños!
Apple and Chicken Liver Mousse
I’m pretty certain I’ve never offered a chicken liver recipe in these notes. But why not? Here’s one from “A Great American Cook: Recipes from the Home Kitchen of One of Our Most Influential Chefs by Jonathan Waxman with Tom Steele (Houghton Mifflin Company, 2007).
Apple-Sausage Rigatoni
Sorry, no idea where I found this recipe, but it’s simple and delicious. I love the combination of sausage, apples and a blue cheese. Great for a quick weeknight dinner.
