We continue the salad theme this week with cole slaw! Even though I often associate cole slaw with summer picnics, it uses ingredients that are available in the winter.

I purchased a vegetable box from a local farmer who is offering produce year round-no small feat in Michigan! I decided this soup would be perfect for using the cabbage that came with it. Pin It
Pin ItEasy Sauerkraut, Kimchi, and Other Fermented Foods I’m Afraid Of
October 22, 2010 By 17 Comments
There’s a recipe in Simply in Season for Easy Sauerkraut. I have been putting off making it. I’ve decided I’m not going to, so there. I hate sauerkraut. I know it’s good for me. I know I should eat fermented foods (goodness knows I drink enough of them!). So instead of making the recipe, I’m going to tell you about my friend Cindy, who makes homemade Kimchi.
Coleslaw with Fennel

Although listed as a winter recipe in Simply in Season, I actually used spring vegetables–all from tonight’s CSA pickup–for this side dish. The cabbages are mini cabbages, which I love since they are the perfect size.

Cheesy and gooey, this is a great side dish for the winter/early spring season.
Meltaway Cabbage

Meltaway Cabbage is one of the recipes that is in the new edition of Simply in Season. I think they wanted more cabbage recipes. After all, many people don’t know what to do with it other than coleslaw or sauerkraut. I know I didn’t! That’s one of the great things about trying to east locally – finding new and surprising things to do with vegetables. Who knew that cabbage could be a star?
Vegetarian Groundnut Stew

The introduction to this recipe from Simply in Season states that it’s “inspired by peanut stews served in West Africa.” Indeed, I have been to West and East Africa, and in both areas of the continent I’ve been inspired by their use of peanuts (called groundnuts) in savory dishes. One recipe that I really wish I had gotten was sort of like a green bean casserole only with peanuts. It sounds kind of disgusting but it was awesome! For this {Read More}
Autumn Vegetable Soup

This recipe, adapted from Simply in Season, is another one of those great basic recipes that you can vary depending on what vegetables you have on hand. Here is my version: In the soup pot, saute 1/2 C minced onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic in 1 T of olive oil for 1 minute over medium heat. Chop 1/2 C each of kale, cabbage, carrots, green pepper, then add to the pot along with 1/2 t each of salt, {Read More}
Bounty Rice

Adapted from Simply in Season. Here’s a helpful hint: If you’re not sure whether the pepper you got at the CSA is sweet or hot, even if you’re pretty sure it was from the sweet pile, don’t bite it to find out! Bounty Rice is another skillet meal brought to you by our Mennonite friends. I’m noticing a lot of these in here. Oh well, makes cleanup a breeze! Here’s how I made it: Step 1: Brown 1 lb ground {Read More}
