Winter Session 1 Week 3
The crisp cool mornings just prove that fall has finally begun. We hope you are enjoying the bounty we have been able to share with you. Please feel free to contacts us either by email or by phone with any questions or concerns. We are always excited to hear from you. We would also love to receive any great recipes you have. We may even include them in one of our emails. Here are a couple of our favorites for this weeks box.
Romano Caprese
1/4 lb Romano beans
1 large tomato
4 oz fresh mozzarella
5-6 fresh basil leaves
extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar
Blanch beans in salted water. Add 1/2" cubed tomatoes and diced mozzarella. Coat with extra virgin olive oil and drizzle with balsalmic to taste. Garnish with fresh basil after applying the dressing. Quick, easy, and delicious. I recently made this for an event at Village Yarn and Tea and got nothing but good comments about it. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family does.
Lentil Stew with Rapini
1/2 lb dried lentils, rinsed and drained
1 tsp Willie Green's Organic Farm's dried basil
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 TBS olive oil
1/2 large onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 lb Italian sausage links, sliced
1 bn rapini, sliced into 1" lengths
Grated parmesan cheese
Place the drained lentils and the herbs in a stock pot. Pour in the tomatoes and an additional can of water. Turn the heat to medium low and allow the lentils to simmer, covered, for 30-40 minutes.
While the lentils are simmering, sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil until translucent but not browned. Add the garlic and onions to the lentils.
Brown the sliced sausage in a heavy frying pan. Drain the sausage on paper towels to absorb the excess grease. Add the cooked sausage to the lentils.
Add the chopped rapini to the lentils. Cook an additional 5-7 minutes until the rapini has wilted.
Top with grated parmesan cheese right before serving. This is great for the cool fall evenings.
