Lacto-Fermented Watermelon Radishes

This is one of the ways that we like to preserve the seasonal harvest for later enjoyment. Lacto-fermented watermelon radishes are probiotic and so delicious, and they also are so beautiful.  This recipe uses no vinegar, just veggies, salt, water, and time. We love them in salads but check out the Extra! below for another creative and delicious way to use them. Preparation Time:  30 minutes Lacto-fermentation Time:  30 – … Continue reading Lacto-Fermented Watermelon Radishes

Caramelized Spring Onion and Roasted Tomato Herbed Galette with Greek Feta

Most of us in the U.S. have had sweet galettes with fruit-based fillings but we are going the savory route with this recipe.  We use caramelized Spring onions as the base filling and top them with oven roasted Roma tomatoes and Feta cheese.  We also add garlic, basil, and oregano to the half all purpose and whole wheat (both organic) dough to give the hearty … Continue reading Caramelized Spring Onion and Roasted Tomato Herbed Galette with Greek Feta

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

We have really enjoyed the tomatoes this season.  There are many ways to preserve tomatoes to enjoy them later in the year when the tomato season has ended. Roasting tomatoes and freezing them is one way to make sure you can enjoy them up to six months later. Here, we use Roma tomatoes, but if you use cherry, grape, or slicer tomatoes, adjust the cooking … Continue reading Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Sautéed Escarole with Kohlrabi and White Beans   

Escarole looks like lettuce, but the flavor is much deeper and the leaves hold up better to cooking. The escarole is delicious here, but if you don’t have any available, almost any other flavorful leafy greens can work well in this recipe as a companion to the kohlrabi and white beans. 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped 2 onions, cut in … Continue reading Sautéed Escarole with Kohlrabi and White Beans

Roasted Patty Pan Squash with Sage, Florida Meyer Lemon Juice, and Capers

Patty pan squash has such beautiful color, and bold contrasting patterns of dark green and bright yellow.  We cook the smaller, baby patty pans whole, but the large ones have radial lines that go from tip to tip and almost dare us to cut them using those lines as guides. Like its cousins, zucchini and yellow squash, the mildly flavored patty pan squash is a type of Summer Squash. They pair … Continue reading Roasted Patty Pan Squash with Sage, Florida Meyer Lemon Juice, and Capers

The photo below is of commercially … Continue reading Takuan-style Pickled Daikon Radish with Turmeric
