beets – Central Brooklyn CSA

Week 20 Recipe Roundup

Recipe Roundup!

Potato Kale Galette – Just five ingredients!!

Get fancy with your leeks – try it as a starter or side: Leeks Vinaigrette

German Potato Salad – potato salad for mayonnaise-phobes

An elegant main vegetarian dish – Stuffed Acorn Squash

I suspect that kale would do nicely in place of beet greens in this Warm Orzo Salad with Greens

This Cilantro Noodle Bowl recipe uses a whopping 2 cups of cilantro so none of your beautiful herbs go to waste. Swap steamed carrots for the Romanesco or broccoli.

Did you know that the combination of lightly sauteed carrots, onions, and celery are known as a mirepoix (said like “meer pwah”)? A mirepoix is the seasoning base for stews, soups, and stocks. It is also the foundation of this delightful French-Style Lentil Salad that packs perfectly for brown bag lunches.

Enjoy!
