(2019) Mark Bittman’s Vegetable Pancakes

Published at 05/14/2019June 10, 2019 In Category Cabbage, Kohlrabi, Lettuce, Napa cabbage, Recipes Tags: cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce, Napa cabbage, spinach

Vegetable pancakes seem to be a thing these days, and I love this recipe from Mark Bittman that will use up any vegetable you have on hand. You can use some of that lettuce if you chop it and maybe saute a little before mixing into the batter. Spinach? Sure. Grated kohlrabi. Absolutely. Chopped cabbage, probably anything from this week’s box except maybe the tomatoes which might turn watery.We eat these either with a little soy sauce or a little hot honey. That’s my new addiction and I’m not even a fan of hot sauces. But hot and sweet like the hot honeys people are producing these days? Love it.

With all that lettuce, you’re likely to make a salad. Please don’t use something from the store. Make your own!

So you’ll eat many of those strawberries just as they are but when you’re ready for a recipe, try this salad from Jenny Levison of Souper Jenny. Again, it’s adapted from a chef demo at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market.

Chicken and Fresh Melon Salad

Published at 07/28/2016 In Category Blueberries, cantaloupe, Recipes Tags: cantaloupe, chicken, lettuce, watermelon

Use any seasoning mix you have in your pantry. This is just a reminder that poultry and melon are a really nice salad combination. If you still have some blueberries, throw them in. Store-bought or your favorite homemade dressing and you’re done. I wouldn’t add tomato, but a cucumber would be nice. And something for a little crunch.

Notes on Spring Produce

Another amazing week of vegetables. That head of romaine is just right for grilling – if you’re so inclined. I shared directions for grilling lettuce a few weeks ago, but basically – wash the head, cut it in half lengthwise, brush the cut sides with olive oil and grill. Dress it with a simple vinaigrette.

Lettuce Sauce

Published at 05/17/2016May 19, 2016 In Category Blog, Lettuce, Recipes, Vegetables Tags: lettuce

This is a recipe from Emeril Lagasse. No cooking involved. If you’re worried about the raw egg yolk, just eliminate it.

Storing lettuce: rinse the leaves and spin them dry in a salad spinner. If you have space, storing the leaves in the salad spinner is great. But that takes up a lot of room in the refrigerator. You can wrap the washed leaves in a dry tea towel and then drop that into a plastic bag that you don’t seal tight. I find that if I clean the lettuce when I get it home, I’m a lot more likely to add it to a sandwich or make it into a salad then if I have to do all that prep when I’m ready to eat.
