Spring CSA Week 6: Turnip, Spinach, Trout

Spring Greens & Veggies

You can’t go wrong with beautiful leafy greens. Some greens are surprising sources of bone-building fat burning mineral calcium. Others contain folic acid, a nutrient that helps maintain cardiovascular health and may battle depression.  Almost all greens contain vitamin C to keep your immune system going strong, and fiber to reduce cholesterol.

What’s New

Spring Greens & Veggies

• Spinach, Theiss Farm and Greenhouse – $1.90 / lbs

Spinach is rich in vitamin K, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and even selenium, which may help protect the liver and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. A study in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that spinach can kill prostate cancer cells. Incorporate more spinach into your diet by swapping your iceberg lettuce on sandwiches and salads to spinach.

• Mache, Mart’s Salad Selection – $2 / each

A delicate green with a mild, subtle sweetness. High in omega-3s and folic acid

• Garlic Scapes, Carondelet Garden & Urban Farm  – $3 / bunch

Incorporate more mushrooms into your diet by chopping them into soups, salads, and pasta dishes, or brush them with olive oil and grill (see recipe suggestion below).

Pecan Crusted Trout with Kale Chips

Adapted from Food.Com by Food Snob St. Louis & Maude’s Market

Ingredients for Trout

• 1 trout filet
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 6 tablespoons cup bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 & 1/2 tablespoons butter, room temperature

Preparation for Trout

Preheat oven to 450 degrees, and combine all ingredients except butter and trout to make breading.

Bush one side of the trout with softened butter. Sprinkle with pecan breading and press into fish to make sure it is fully and evenly coated on that side.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with remaining butter.  Place fish, non-breaded side down on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until fish is flaky.

Ingredients for Kale Chips

• 1 bunch of kale, washed, stems removed, leaves chopped into large pieces
• Olea Olive oil
• Sea Salt, to taste

Preparation for Kale Chips

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place kale in a large bowl and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt.  Toss until evenly coated.

Spread kale out evenly on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp, stirring halfway through cooking time.

Enjoy!

Arugula Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

By Food Snob St. Louis, with input from Maude’s Market and adapted from Simply Recipes.

Ingredients for Dressing

2 oz. basil, chopped
1 teaspoon Sandhill Farm mustard
1 garlic scape, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup Olea olive oil

Ingredients for Salad

1/4 lbs shiitake mushroom, sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
4 cups arugula
2-3 radishes, sliced

Preparation

To make the dressing, place all dressing ingredients except olive oil in a blender and blend on high until well blended (about 2 minutes). Remove lid and scrape down the sides.

Return the lid to the blender, turn on low speed and slowly drizzle in olive oil through hole in the lid.  Continue blending until all ingredients are pureed and well incorporated.

Saute the mushrooms in some of the dressing on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.

To make the salad, put all ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with dressing and toss. Serve alongside a grilled beef kabob or grilled tofu (you could marinate the tofu in some of the dressing prior to grilling).

Enjoy!

Recipe Ideas

Kale Chips

Sauce Magazine just shared a recipe for kale chips. If you haven’t make these before, do. They are wonderful.

Braised Greens with
Garlic and Sun-dried Tomatoes

Ingredients

• ¼ – ⅓ lbs chard, spinach or kale, sliced into strips
• About 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3-4 garlic cloves, diced
• 4 chopped sun-dried tomatoes (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes)
• ½ cup del Carmen vegetable broth
• About ½ tbsp lemon juice

Preparation

Add olive oil and garlic to a skillet on medium heat, saute until garlic is translucent, add the sun-dried tomatoes, saute until tomatoes start to soften. Add the greens and stir as it wilts down (1 to 2 minutes). When the greens have wilted add the chicken broth and simmer until most of the liquid is gone (5-10 minutes). Add a dash of lemon juice and and serve on the side.

Tofu with Grilled Orange Chipotle Sauce

Ingredients for Grilled Orange Chipotle Sauce

• 2 oranges, halved
• Sorghum, as needed
• 1 tbsp Sandhill Farm mustard
• 1 chipotle pepper
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 garlic clove

Ingredients for Tofu and Veggies

• 1 package tofu, excess water removed by pressing or patting dry, cut into ¼” thick pieces, any preferred style (triangles, strips, squares, etc)
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 cup of Hilty green beans, drained
• 1 Tbsp honey
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Smoked Gouda (or any available Marcoot cheese) as needed
• Gringo George tortilla chips

Preparation

Grease a skillet (oil, honey or lard). Spread a little sorghum on the cut side of the orange halves and grill, cut side down, on a skillet over medium heat until brown (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the oranges and allow them to cool

Drizzle honey salt and pepper over the onion and green beans and grill over medium-high heat until onions are browned.

Once cool, juice the oranges and add to a food processor. Add mustard, chipotle, olive oil, and garlic. Puree until smooth (add more olive oil if needed). Pour the mixture into a small baking dish.

Lay the tofu slices in the sauce and marinate 20 minutes.

Grill the marinated tofu about 4-5 minutes per side.

Lay tortilla chips on the skillet, top with green beans & onion, then tofu, the excess marinade and slices of cheese. Cover and heat over low heat until cheese melts (about 1 minute) then serve.

Poached Duck Egg Dish

Ingredients

• Bacon (optional)
• Butter (optional)
• Sweet onion sliced in half (1 half per person)
• Green beans (¼ lbs per person)
• Duck eggs (1 per person)
• 1 to 2 tsp rice vinegar (helps hold egg together, omit if you don’t like the taste)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

Always Optional Bacon

• Pan fry bacon in your prefered method. You will cook the onion and green beans in the bacon fat left over in the pan.

Poach the Eggs

• Bring water in a shallow saucepan to almost boiling (if the water is already boiling, lower the heat until it is no longer boiling), add one or two teaspoons of vinegar.
• Crack each egg into a small cup, then place the cup near the surface of the hot water and gently drop the egg into the water. With a spoon, nudge the egg whites closer to their yolks to help hold the egg whites together. Alternatively, place a mason jar ring at the bottom of the saucepan, drop the egg over the mason jar ring and let it settle in the ring.
• Turn off the heat. Cover. Let sit for 4 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked.
• Lift eggs out of pan with a slotted spoon.

Prepare the Veggies as Eggs Poach

• In the pan with bacon fat (if not cooking bacon, heat butter to) fry the onion (about 2 minutes on each side) and green beans (about 4 minutes total, stirring every minute).

Grilled Peaches Dressed in Yogurt

Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe peaches, cut in half (pit removed)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 4 tbsp honey
• Cinnamon (to taste)

Directions

• Place peaches, cut side down, on the grill. Grill on low or indirect heat until soft, about 2-4 minutes on each side.
• Combine yogurt, honey and cinnamon. Pour 1 tbsp yogurt over each peach half. Drizzle with honey and enjoy.
