Sopa de Feijao Verde {Mozambique}

Perfect timing! I had all of the ingredients to make this dish, from Mozambique, in my CSA box this week. Hooray for Fogline Farm! Dylan did a great job helping me chop the onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and green beans.

Sopa de Feijao Verde

4 Spring onions, sliced
5 potatoes, washed, dried, and diced
3 tomatoes, rinsed and diced
4 C water or chicken stock
2 C sliced green beans
salt and pepper to taste

In a large souppot, saute the sliced onions until they begin to soften. Add the diced potatoes and tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes begin to lose their shape. Add in water or chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes may be mashed with a fork.

The traditional version of this soup is pressed through a sieve. I left our version a bit more rustic and chunky by using a potato masher in the pot.

Add in sliced green beans and simmer for another 5 minutes. You want the beans to still have some firmness to them. Serve hot.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
