Speedy Kale Sauté

By
When I saw the dinosaur kale in my High Ground Organics CSA box this afternoon, I was excited. Kale always means a quick, nutritious side dish for dinner...and one the boys devour. You can use this same process on any hearty greens, such as chard or mustard greens, but kale is our favorite.


4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
olive oil
kale, rough chopped
water
orange juice
soy sauce

In a large flat-bottom pan, soften the garlic in olive oil. Add the kale and cook till the leaves begin to wilt. Add a splash of water and a splash of orange juice. Done in less than ten minutes! Cook till the stems are fork tender. Season with soy sauce and serve hot.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
