Fall Squash Soup
The squash itself is really versatile. Most purees and soups that use fresh squash should be exposed to some degree of caramelization and evaporation. It’s really an effort to concentrate flavor. Always be careful when blending hot liquids.
Roast Squash with Curried Lentils and Rice
In this recipe, complex flavors arise from only a few ingredients. Pre-mixed spice blends are the secret to developing depth in a short amount of time. We used vadouvan curry powder in our batch as it is a personal favorite, but feel free to use any masala that you find delicious. Because this recipe is written to use the full quantities of the canned ingredients it calls for, you will likely have more curry than you need. Fortunately, it freezes well, and you need only to have rice nearby when pulling this curry out of your freezer for a meal that is sure to please.
Fermented Winter Radish
This is an easy and delicious outlet for radishes. We see this as a way to extend the seasons of specific ingredients, and we don’t stop with radishes. This is a basic formula for lacto-fermentation. Just like sauerkraut or kimchi. Consider cabbage, carrots, and turnips as well. Enjoy with a range of dishes, from rice to salads to hotdogs. This is a versatile ingredient for the home.
Seared Brussels Sprout Hash
Believe it or not, brussels sprouts are highly seasonal (despite what the restaurants menu down the street suggests). They start to pop up in the fall but really excel around the first frost. The tiny cabbages become sweeter and the heads become more dense. When we hear the words brussels sprouts, we imagine the other ingredients that overlap with them so beautifully. Root Vegetables like carrot, radish, beet and potatoes. Leafy greens like spinach and kale. Fall fruits like apples, pumpkins, and other varieties of ornamental squash and gourds. A distant fire burning. Smoked and preserved ingredients. Living with the seasons makes cooking delicious food more effortless.
Smoked Carrot Dip
Everything is optional. Keep these ratios somewhat intact and you’ll end up with a dippable texture. If you don’t have carrots, consider beets. If you don’t have almonds, consider peanuts or any nuts. If you don’t have chickpeas, consider white beans. If you don’t have garlic, onion, or garlic powder even. No lemons, consider vinegar. No paprika? No problem. Have fun with this.
