Recipes:
Butternut Squash and Leek
Soup
1 butternut squash
3 Tbs unsalted butter or
vegetable oil
2 large leeks
4 tsp ginger, peeled and
minced
6 cups chicken or vegetable
stock
1 1/2 tsp salt
Cut
squash in half and remove seeds. Place face down on an oiled baking sheet and
bake at 400 degrees until squash can easily be pierced with fork, about 1 hour.
Let cool a bit, then scoop pulp from squash skin and discard skin.
Carefully
clean leeks and chop. Melt butter in a soup pot. Cook leeks and ginger 5 to 10
minutes, then stir in the squash. Add 4 cups of the chicken stock and bring to
a simmer, cooking for 20 minutes. Use a spoon to periodically stir and to break
up squash clumps. Puree or mash until smooth. Then add 2 cups of stock and
salt.
Garnish
with cream or sour cream, croutons, and/or toasted squash seeds. From The Joy
of Cooking.
Turnip and Potato Patties
1 ½
cups turnips, diced small (About 1 lb.)
1 ½ cups potato, diced small (About 1 lb.)
2 1/2 Tbsp thinly sliced scallion greens,
optional
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Grapeseed oil, peanut oil, or canola oil (high
smoke point vegetable oils)
Salt and pepper
In a
large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the turnip and potato cubes for
10-15 minutes, until they are tender, and drain them. In a bowl, mash them with
a fork and stir in the scallions, the egg, flour, and salt and pepper to taste.
Coat
the bottom of a large, heavy bottomed skillet with about 1/4-inch of the oil.
Heat the pan on medium high heat until the surface of the oil begins to
shimmer, but not smoke. Spoon 1/4-cup mounds of the turnip potato batter into
the pan, flattening them into 1/2-inch thick patties with the back of a
spatula. Fry the patties until they are golden, turning them once, about 4
minutes on each side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain off excess
oil.

Massaged Kale Salad with
Apples
Due to its cold survival
technique of converting starches to sugars, winter grown kale is much sweeter
than summer kale…. Very delicious raw!
1 bunch kale
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup diced red or green onion
¾ cup diced apple
¼ cup olive oil
2
tablespoons unfiltered apple cider vinegar
De-stem kale by pulling
leaves away from stems. Wash leaves. Spin or pat dry. Stack leaves, roll up,
and cut into thick strips. Put kale into a large mixing bowl, add salt, and
massage kale with your hands for about 2 minutes. Stir onions & apples into
kale. Dress with oil and vinegar and mix.
