Did you see this recipe pushed out by the New York Times today? Do you, like me, still have some delicata squash waiting to be used? You could do this butternut, but you’d have to peel it first.
Sweet-and-Spicy Roasted Tofu and Squash
Recipes
Vegetarian Chili
This is a recipe from Margaret Roach, a former Martha Stewart staffer and now author of “A Way to Garden.” She recommends this chili as a way to use up bits of beans you may have stocked in the freezer (she grows all kinds of beans in her New York State garden), but you can use canned beans and all the wonderful peppers from today’s box. She suggests you can also add some of your greens to the chili. Great idea!
Butternut Squash and Cheddar Dip
We’ve got dozens of butternut squash recipes at https://grassfedcow.com/ingredient/butternut-squash/ but I’m throwing out one more in case you are tired of butternut squash soup and roasted butternut squash cubes. This one’s from seriouseats.com. Interesting tip about using the microwave. I’m going to try that this week.
Collard Green Tacos with Tomatillo
We forget that greens make a great taco filling. Try this recipe from Michelle McKenzie and her book “Dandelion and Quince.” I don’t know what variety of small pepper was in our box this week, but it would be delicious in this recipe.
Broccoli Salad with Spicy Vinaigrette
I hesitate to give you a recipe for broccoli since you’re probably munching on fresh raw broccoli right now. But if not, try this recipe from David Gross of Cook Hall, prepared at a demo at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. Fresh local ginger is available from many farmers and is absolutely amazing. I love this recipe because I’m crazy about the sweet-hot combination of pepper jelly.
Baked Apples
I’m ready for baked apples. This is another one of those exquisitely detailed recipes from America’s Test Kitchen. Follow it to a “t” and you can’t miss.
Stir Fried Beans (and maybe bok choy) with Tofu and Chiles
This yummy recipe is from Martha Rose Shulman of the New York Times. While you’re at it, add in your bok choy, cut into bite size pieces.
Curried Cider Pork Stew
So now I’m pretending the temperatures are cooperating and a nice stew is in order. Or maybe you’re just ready for stew no matter that it’s in the upper 80s out there.
Maybe you still have a carrot or two left over from last week? If not, skip the carrots in this recipe. Add more squash, dice in eggplant instead, substitute a few peppers ….. it’s up to you. I don’t remember where this recipe came from, but hope you’re using Riverview pork when you make it.
Pan Roasted Turnips and Radishes
Seth Freedman, who once did demos at the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market but is now with PeachDish, created this recipe as a market demo. He was using hareuki turnips, the sweet little white ones that are similar in size to radishes, but you can take today’s turnip and cut it into pieces about the size of the radishes in the box. It’s a “recipe” that couldn’t be simpler, but a nice reminder that turnips and radishes go well together.
Fish Stuffed with Pico de Gallo
The calendar says “fall.” The contents of our box say “fall.” But the temperatures? Summer still reigns.
This light fish entree works perfectly with these crazy hot temperatures and the peppers and tomatoes in today’s box. It’s a recipe that first came from Saveur magazine. Grill the fish instead of broiling it if you wish.
If you don’t want to cook fish, at least make the pico de gallo (first five ingredients) and use it for something yummy.
