Asian Greens with Ginger Miso Dressing

Dressing
-1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
-2 T. white miso
-3 T. tahini
-1/2 c. water
-3 T. fresh lemon juice

Salad
-5 oz. baby Asian salad mixed greens with mizuna (or use your mizuna with lettuce and/or other greens)
-1 sm. radish, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
-1 carrot, cut into 2-inch-long slender sticks
-2 green onions (white part only), chopped

Drizzle one to two tablespoons of dressing over each salad and serve. Enjoy!

Vegetarian Borscht

Serves 6

-1 lb. beets, peeled and cut into matchsticks

-2 med. onions, sliced into half-moons

-2 lg. carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks

-3/4 lb. green cabbage, cut thinly into shreds

-2 T. olive oil

-5 c. vegetable stock

-Juice of 1/2 a lemon

-Salt to taste

-Coarsely ground black pepper

-Sour cream (optional, omit for vegan soup)

-Finely chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Peel and cut the onions, carrots, and beets (alternatively, shred the carrots and beets using the shredding blade of a food processor) and sauté over medium heat in the olive oil with a pinch of salt in a large soup pot. Reserve a small amount of beet to grate and add near the end to enliven the color.

In the meantime, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. When the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes), add the shredded cabbage and the hot stock. Bring to a boil and simmer 15-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

With a few minutes left, add the reserved grated beet. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then squeeze in the lemon juice, aiming for a pleasing but subtle sour taste. Serve with freshly grated black pepper, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

In a large pot bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt.Add leafy greens to the boiling water and cook uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool.

Add the greens, raise the heat to high, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, until well coated with oil. Set aside.In a large pot over low heat, combine the flour and the remaining olive oil and cook, stirring often, until caramel colored, about 25 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Raise the heat to medium and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 15 minutes. Slowly stir in the vegetable stock. Add the reserved greens, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until greens are tender, about 45 minutes.

Stir in the thyme and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the filé and the hot apple cider vinegar, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

*Notes from our shareholder: You can use any 4 bunches of greens. And, “hot apple cider” is apple cider that sits in the fridge with a pepper in it for several hours. Also, you can buy filé powder in the spice section at New Leaf (it’s in one of the little green boxes).

Fagioli a Corallo in Umido (Romano Beans with Tomatoes)

Serves 6

-1 to 2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
-3 green onions (white portion only), thinly sliced
-1/2 lb. very ripe fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded & diced,
or 1 can (14 oz.) plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with juices
-1 small dried red chili (optional)
-1 lb. Romano beans or green beans, ends trimmed
-Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
-1 T. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

In a saucepan large enough to hold the beans, warm the olive
oil over medium-low heat. Add the green onions and cook,
stirring, until translucent, about 8 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and chili, increase the heat to medium and
simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes reduce slightly,
about 10 minutes.

Stir in the beans and season with salt and a few grinds of
pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the beans
are very tender, about 30 minutes.

Check frequently and add 2 tablespoons hot water if the sauce
looks dry. The dish can be prepared up to this point, cooled,
covered and refrigerated, and then reheated gently the next
day. It will taste even better the second day.

Transfer the beans to a warmed serving dish and sprinkle with
the parsley. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
