SHH Meatloaf

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:36:02 -0500

From Champaign, OH

This is a never fail meatloaf recipe, tastes the same every time no guessing what herbs or spices to use. This recipe uses 3 lbs of meat. You can use all ground beef or follow the recipe with the ground beef, ground turkey, and sausage.

I sometimes will divide the mixture in half. I will make a smaller meatloaf and make meatballs out of the other half. (Makes 12 meatballs) Bake them both at the same time in the oven. Reduce the baking time to 45 minutes for the meatloaf. Freeze the meatballs to serve later with Spaghetti, Meatball sandwiches or with a pesto sauce over pasta.

To make meatballs: Set oven at 350 degrees ( meatloaf bakes at the same the same temperature).Line the bottom 9 × 13-2"high baking pan with foil. Place meatballs an 2 inches apart not touching the sides of the pan.(you can fit about 12 meatballs on the pan.) Bake for approx. 45-60 minutes. Serve at once or freeze.

English Pea and Radish Salad

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 07:46:58 -0600

True Southerners use the name “English peas” to describe the bright green peas that are the only ones known to most of the rest of the country. (That’s because we are lucky enough to also have any number of other yummy summer-grown peas, from crowder peas to pink-eye purple-hulled peas, just to name a few.) Still, English peas make a wonderful spring dish with other fresh seasonal ingredients…This simple recipe takes about 10 minutes to fix, and is ready to serve in less than half an hour. It is closely based on a recipe from a delightful new cookbook written by an Athens, GA native who is now a food editor for Southern Living magazine. Take a moment and check it out!

Braised Radishes, Two Ways

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:20:04 -0600

For those of us who grew up eating radishes only raw and in salads, braised radishes come as a happy surprise. Cooking changes the radishes completely, replacing their pungent flavor with a mild, turnip-like sweetness. Here are two versions: the one with chives goes well with chicken, pork, or fish. The version with cream turns a colorful bright pink. Sauteeing the radishes briefly in butter helps bring out their mellow, sweet flavor, and as a braising liquid, chicken broth was the first choice of the cooks at America’s Test Kitchen, but feel free to experiment with vegetarian options.

Assertive Greens with Onions or Shallots and Cream

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:46:51 -0600

A bit of background — all leafy greens are not interchangeable. Some are delicate enough for salads; others can be tough as shoe leather. In general, though, they fall into two categories, each of which is handled differently. Within each category, though, the type of green used is pretty much interchangeable. The “tender greens” (beet greens, Swiss chard, spinach) are delicate and moisture-rich. The “assertive greens” (kale, mustard, turnips, collards) are stronger in flavor, and require added liquid as they cook.
This is a great recipe for those more assertive greens. Technique is the key. The initial shallow blanching erases some of their bitterness without robbing them of their character. It preserves their color and flavor, saves time, and allows them to be cooked more quickly.Once the greens have been blanched and drained, they can be used in any number of tasty recipes. In this one, the sweetness of the onions and the richness of the cream mellow the bitterness of the greens.

Growing up in the north the only way in which winter squash and rutabaga(hubbard, buttercup and butternut) was served was cooked to death, drained and mashed with butter and cream.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Delicious Pumpkin

We’ve been celebrating the beginning of fall up at Creque Dam Farm with a beautiful harvest of pumpkins. Our talented chefs have been whipping them up in everything.

Here’s a few favorite recipes:

Ayurvedic Pumpkin Cookies by Astrid

Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin pureed (boiled until soft and then blended in the blender)
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup sugar
2 T. vanilla
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ginger
1/2. t. clove
1/4 t. nutmeg
5 dates
2 cups flour
pinch of salt
4 T. ground pecans
3 dozen whole nuts for topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Cream butter, sugar, spices, and vanilla together
Add dates, nuts, and pumpkin.
Whisk in salt and flour to wet mix.

Bake on buttered sheet for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

These are so decadent!

*Roasted Pumpkin *

Peel pumpkin and remove the seeds. Wash the seeds and roast them for a tasty treat. Add a bit of sea salt or cinnamon.

Then slice your pumpkin into 1/8 inch (thin slices). Toss in olive oil and a bit of salt.

Lay on a cookie sheet in a single layer and roast at 400 for 15-20 minutes. Better than french fries!

Basic Pumpkin Puree

You can add pumpkin puree to many, many things….soup, bread, muffins, pie, smoothies, and sauces. To make pumpkin puree, peel and seed your pumpkin. Then, cut it up into chunks and steam it in a large saucepan. You can use a steamer basket or just place the pumpkin in a few inches of water in the pot and boil away. You’ll get delicious, soft boiled pumpkin in 20-30 minutes. After it’s soft, put the steamed pumpkin in a blender or food processor and you will have pumpkin puree!

You can pretty much use pumpkin in any way that you would use a banana or a potato. Sweet or savory, pumpkin is delicious. Be brave, have fun, and enjoy the delicious taste!

Apple Dapple Cake

Every time my mother presented this cake, she was asked for her recipe. I have seen many recipes similar to this one, but this remains a “treasure” within my family. Courtesy of my mom, Regina Sartalamacchia.

Yield: 6 servings

Beat together until well blended:
1-1/2 cups oil
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
(don’t overbeat; you’re not trying to incorporate air)

Add to the mixture and mix only till blended:
2-1/2 cups flour (or blend of flours)
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/ Tbsp. cinnamon (or more, to taste)
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. mace and/or 1/2 tsp. nutmeg (optional)

Fold in:
3 cups (or three medium) apples of the green baking type, not peeled, cut into quarters, cored, then cut into thin slices.
1 to 1-1/2 cups broken walnut meats

Batter will be quite stiff. Pour/scrape into a tube pan (Bundt pan) which has been well greased with a solid shortening such as Crisco. Place in oven preheated to 400 and immediately lower temperature to 375 After the first fifteen minutes, lower the heat to 350. Bake for a total of 50 to 60 minutes. Cake is done when it has pulled away slightly from the side of the pan and can be touched without leaving a mark.

Notes: When I have wanted to lower calories, I have lowered the oil to 1 cup, and the sugar to 1-1/2 cups, and found it is still very good.
One-half-cup more apples and walnuts may also be used.

Don’t limit this dish to just beef, mix ground pork and chicken, ground lamb, stew meat from lamb or beef, you will not be dissappointed. If you like to eat on the spicy side, chop up a jalapeno pepper for some extra kick. We enjoy this with extra veggies mixed in to make it a one dish meal.

Bhindi Masala

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 20:10:28 -0600

From Northeast, Ga.

I love okra, but I’d run out of ways to cook it until I finally made this traditional Indian dish. This is a very well known dish in INDIA, and it’s supposed to be spicy.

1 1/4 tablespoons coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 medium green chilies, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 cup oil, to fry ladyfinger
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 kg okra (bhindi)
2 tablespoons oil, for seasoning
2 medium onions, chopped

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 16:25:53 -0600

Simple and tasty — If you want to sound fancier, call it “Sunchoke Soup.” “Sunchoke” is the marketing name for these root vegetables, which come from a sunflower-like plant that is native to eastern North America. Despite its name, the Jerusalem artichoke has no relation to Jerusalem, and it is not a type of artichoke, though when it is cooked like this, the taste is similar. (Note: Although the original recipe calls for peeling sunchokes, this can be tedious and I suspect peeling loses nutrients. I just scrub them thoroughly and cut them into equal-sized pieces so they will cook evenly.)

Servings: Serves 4.

Chimichurri Sandwich Spread

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:26:11 -0600

Originating in Argentina, this great sauce is now popular all across South and Central America. It’s good over steak, but equally at home in sandwiches and wraps. Substitute it for mayonnaise — it has half the fat and calories, and uses a healthier oil. Chimichurri is available in little jars for a relatively high price. Make your own — it’s easy, fresh, locally grown, less expensive, and tastier! (Note: There are as many variations for Chimichurri as there are stories about how it got its name. The recipe here is pretty basic, but you can play around with using different kinds of vinegar and/or adding other herbs you enjoy, such as cilantro.) GLITCH NOTE: The last four ingredients won’t insert. They are 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, 1/2 tsp. hot pepper flakes (opt.), 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, and 1 cup extra virgin olive oil.

Tokyo Bekana Salad, Asian Greens Salad

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:11:01 -0600

From Republican Valley Produce

RECIPE: Asian Greens Salad

Serves 4-6. Or two, if you are talking and me and my husband.

Salad ingredients

1 head of Bok Choy OR 1 Bag of Tokyo Bekana OR 1 head of Napa Cabbage
Cilantro
Green Onions

Prepare the Greens:

Cut the very end of the stem off all the bok choy/pac choi and Tokyo Bekana leaves. Coarsely chop the remaining leaves and stems into ½ inch pieces. If you are using scallions, cilantro or another vegetable, chop it up and add it to the choi. Wash the greens and get ready to toss them with the dressing.

Sesame dressing ingredients

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 Tablespoons canola oil
1 ½ teaspoons agave syrup (or honey in a pinch)

Add all dressing ingredients to a bottle and shake, shake, shake.

The “Crunchies”

1 teaspoon canola or mild-tasting oil
1 bag of ramen noodles (organic or otherwise – use only the noodles, not the flavor packet)
1/3 cup slivered almonds

Prepare the Crunchies:

Lay an unopened bag of ramen noodles on the counter or floor and whack them with a meat tenderizer until they are fully crushed. Careful, the bag might pop if you get too excited while you do this! Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the oil. When it is warm, pour in the crushed noodles, discarding the flavor packet. Add the almonds. Stir occasionally and cook until the noodles are just golden brown.

Combine everything in a salad bowl, toss and enjoy!

Mucuna has a dark coffee like flavor, shilajit is rich and smoky, and in combination with the cacao powder the result is a very delicious beverage.
