I’m a big fan of shakshuka so when I saw the Chickpea and Kale Shakshuka recipe below I clipped it to try. Maybe it will appeal to you as well.

After last week’s raw green bean salad, this week I’m cooking the beans. I have been craving a hearty stew and will make Stella Dillard’s Beef Curry Noodles and add green beans to her recipe. It’s down below – a long one but delicious and well worth the time. With temperatures in the 40s coming our way, I love having a recipe like this on tap. Just cooking it is warming enough. The AJC ran this recipe in October 2022.
Stella uses leafy greens in her recipe, and any of today’s greens would work just fine. I’m subbing in those green beans.
Dillard suggests that Kaffir lime leaves, fresh spices in small quantities and wide array of yellow curry pastes can be found at Buford Highway Farmers Market. For the curry paste, she recommends reading the ingredient lists and trying a few to find your favorite.
But I can never seem to walk away from the box without just one more recipe from the New York Times, there’s another option below for using up those greens. I’ll probably make it next week! I just bought new sheet pans after using mine for more than 20 years. I deserved some shiny new kitchen equipment. The old ones won’t get tossed aside, but the shiny new ones are what I thought I needed for all these sheet pan dishes that are a thing these days.
Tomorrow night I’m going to make the pork chop recipe below because I deserve a nice dinner. And it will use up a number of things from the box. I’m not sure what I will do with those cucumbers. I truly feel as if I am cucumber-ed up this year and I love cucumbers. I’ll probably share with my neighbors. The apples will keep, the okra will get pan-fried to go with the pork chops, and the peppers will go into the refrigerator to come out when I return. My husband is a huge fan of pimento cheese, he may get a big batch next week.
The recipe calls for kale, but I’m going to make this with what I think is our bunch of turnip greens. And substitute our big white sweet potato for the two medium ones called for here.
Here’s a recipe for Green Sesame Soba Noodles from the Washington Post Eat Voraciously newsletter and CSA subscriber Linda Jones. The receipe uses tahini to boost the protein content of the sauce. So delicious.
This recipe was demo’d at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market back in the day.
Last week we had turnip greens (without the turnips) and I juiced them. I juiced apples. And I made Eve’s Pot Liquor, a cocktail from Keyatta Mincey-Parker that I found in an old issue of Atlanta magazine. Recipe is down below. Have you tried aloe liqueur? I had to buy it for a recipe for the AJC. Lightly sweet, yummy, glad to find another use for it. And loved putting turnip greens into a cocktail.
And yes, we have lots and lots of greens recipes, too, but here’s one more, Stoddard’s Crustless Quiche Loaded with Kale. I love anything that looks like a pie but doesn’t make me prepare a crust!
I have company coming this weekend. They’re getting the Savory Breakfast Strata from Nealey Thompson of Cook’s Warehouse – recipe down below. She made hers with chard but I’m using kale.
This recipe is from Martha Stewart – and it’s pretty quick to make. The ricotta basically makes the sauce, so it’s not a very complicated recipe.
