Tomato Salad (5 Ways)

July 10, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

So tomato season is almost here. My own vines are filling with fruit and I suspect that even with all the rain, some of us in the Ottawa Valley are only a week or so away from fruit. Having said that, the butter lettuce in my CSA share this week was screaming “I want tomatoes,”…

Sautéed Swiss Chard with Meyer Lemon Peel

July 9, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Whether you got Swiss chard in your CSA bin this week or are simply looking for a yummy way to prepare it, here’s a grande recipe that I think you’ll like. How grande is it? It almost stole the show from the grilled halibut with garlic scape pesto with which it was served. And yes, this…

Penne with Fava Bean and Fennel Purée (Pasta)

July 7, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

When this week’s CSA bin arrived, the thing I was most looking forward to was the fresh fava beans. This is an example of an idea that got into my head and has stuck 10 or 15 years. Over the years, I had read a number of recipes in my plethora of Italian cookbooks that…

My CSA Challenge – 2013 Edition

July 7, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

For those of my readers that have been with me since last fall, you’ll recall that I I jumped into the world of Community Shared Agriculture (see my CSA Confession to learn more about CSA’s in general) and then embarked on a self-proclaimed “CSA Challenge” when I decided to blog about what I was doing…

Papaya-Mango Lime Salsa

June 17, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

Here’s an amazing fruit salsa that will be sure to put the kick back in your favourite Mexican fare. The papaya and mango work well together but what really brings this dish together is the lime … and the lime skin in particular. I’ve tried just the zest but there is something much more powerful…

Guacamole Cruda

June 17, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ah, guacamole. There aren’t many that sit on the fence when it comes to avocados … or this simple Mexican sidekick. For those that love it but have never made it, here’s a simple recipe to get you started. The only thing that really separates my versions is that I omit tomato from mine and…

Braised Red Cabbage with Apples

January 21, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Few cooking techniques are as decidedly “winter” as braising. The method telegraphs a slow, lazy day of cooking — and it proclaims comfort food … and nothing says Sunday dinner better than braised comfort food. If you’re even the slightest bit ‘iffy’ about cabbage, trust me, this will make a convert of you. Anne has dubbed this…

Roasted Red-Kuri Squash Salad with Walnuts in Maple-Mango Vinegrette

November 20, 2012 by Dale Leave a Comment

Inspiration comes in all forms. In this case, it is a squash from my CSA share that has been tempting my creativity for a few weeks. I’ll confess, until this squash (delivered by agricultural storks) arrived in my kitchen, I had no idea that a “red kuri squash” existed, let alone what it would taste…

My CSA Challenge

November 14, 2012 by Dale 2 Comments

From dizzying back to the future ride of the last post, we go back to the future-past: aka the Prequel. This post promises to be sweet … or forecast the sweet experiments that will follow in my CSA Challenge. Alas, after work yesterday, I picked up my last CSA share for the season (small tears…

My CSA Confession

November 14, 2012 by Dale 3 Comments

From backstory, I turn to prequel — so for those easily prone to nausea induced by sudden turns, I apologise. But before the prequel, more of the backstory … I mentioned in my last post my introduction to Community Shared Agriculture (CSA). I’ve also heard previous mention of the ‘S’ standing for “Supported” which I…
