Love that the Aluma Farm recipe helps you understand how much brine to make, depending on how many pickles you’re putting up. Really helpful for those of us pickling on the fly.
Recipes
(2020) Chilled Summer Squash Soup
This recipe was just made for the contents of this week’s box. Adapted from Serious Eats. I think I’ll have enough squash for a small casserole and this soup (although I may have to cut it down from the three pounds of squash called for.)
(2020) No Cook Refrigerator Pickles
This one was published in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin from the Georgia Department of Agriculture but I don’t remember when! It calls for onions, but I like making it with rounds of zucchini or yellow squash, and maybe some sticks of green onion for that onion flavor.
(2020) Steamed Salmon with Leeks, Shiitakes and Soy
Here’s an idea from Fine Cooking magazine, almost a decade ago. Still good! And you can pick up local shiitakes at most farmers markets these days.
(2020) Chipotle Cilantro Slaw
I don’t remember the provenance of this recipe but it’s been in my recipe files for maybe 10 years?
(2020) Cauliflower Couscous with Spiced Butter
From “David Tanis Market Cooking.” His directions call for you to reserve stems, etc. for another use – but I throw them in the food processor and chop them finely, then include.
(2020) Hawaiian Style Sesame Cabbage Salad
I’ve been craving Asian flavors, so here’s what I’d do with my cabbage and green onions. It’s a recipe from Saveur magazine. Sort of a take on old ramen noodle slaw recipes that have been around since maybe the 70s? The directions say to serve immediately and certainly the crushed ramen is crunchy that way, but I secretly like these salads best when they’re a day old and the noodles have softened and absorbed the goodness from the dressing.
(2020) Alu Gobhi
My other cauliflower go-to recipe is from Chef Archna Malhotra Becker of Bhojanic. Have you checked out their touchless takeout heat & serve meals? We loved the Memorial Day picnic meal we ordered last week. Great value, too. Having a tandoori chicken around seems like a good idea these days.
Do you have a bullet-style coffee grinder dedicated to spices? Chef Archna advocates grinding whole spices for the best flavor. I’ve made this without the chili pepper and still love it. Can’t make do without the cilantro, though.
(2020) Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
In the interest of balancing out those cauliflower recipes, here’s a roasted broccoli recipe from meal kit service PeachDish. It’s so good that it made my son proclaim his *love* for broccoli. PeachDish featured it as a side with balsamic tomato steak.
(2020) Tekel Gomen (Cabbage and Carrots)
From a story of Ethiopian vegetable dishes we published in the AJC last year.
