Recipes with cold-weather veggies?

My wife and I are considering buying into a winter CSA. The problem is, we have no idea what we would cook with the veggies we would get, and we'd hate to waste them. Here's the list of veggies they give out, for example, in December:

• Arugula
• Collards
• Kale
• Mushrooms
• Bok Choi
• Potatoes
• Radishes
• Salad greens
• Winter squash
• Sunflower microgreens
• Sweet potatoes
• Tatsoi

What sorts of meals can we build around as many of these ingredients as possible (as opposed to just sautéing them as sides)?

(Request) Uses for leftover leg of lamb

Lamb is on sale because it is spring on the other side of the planet, so I bought a whole bone in leg. I plan on deboning it and roasting it with just salt and pepper, then portioning and freezing it. What are some things I can use the leftover lamb leg for?

What are "Citric Acid tabs" and where can I buy them from?

I was reading a drink mix in a book for blue coconut punch and one of the ingredients says to add a few tabs of citric acid to the jug and to let it sit overnight in the fridge. Is it to make it tangier or something? It didn't go into much detail but I'm wondering if you can find these at Kroger or Walmart or use lemon juice perhaps?

Parents are coming over! Want to impress on a budget...

Reposting because I forgot to flair my original post... whups

Obviously I can google random recipes, but I was wondering if you guys had any cool suggestions for what I can make for my mom and dad tomorrow. I was thinking a nice salad to start (I already have feta cheese I'd like to use up, and homemade bread), then a complete dinner with meat, starch and veggies. I'm on a strict budget though, pretty broke at the moment. All ideas welcome!

This is for u/molotschna....

I used to make this dish all the time but I haven't in a while. I'm going to be making this soon, so I had to jog my memory as to what the recipe was. I couldn't find anything quite like it online, so I'm posting it here both to share and to ask for suggested improvements if anyone would like to weigh in. I think this is exactly how I used to make it ... and, man, was it ever delicious!

Winter root vegetable casserole

4-6 cups of root vegetables cut into half-inch cubes e.g.: - sweet potatoes - potatoes - rutabaga - squash - carrots - turnips - parsnips 2 cups grated cheese e.g.: - gruyere - mozarella / parmesean mixture - cheddar 2 cups bread cut or torn into half-inch chunks (light rye is a good choice) 1 tsp caraway seeds 1 tsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter 

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Sautee root vegetables in the skillet starting with the hardest ones (e.g. sweet potato, rutabaga), saving the softer ones (e.g. carrots) for last. Mix in the caraway seeds while the veggies are cooking and sautee on medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes.

3. Melt butter and combine butter with bread chunks in a mixing bowl.

4. Spread the root veggies on the bottom of your large, shallow casserole dish.

5. Combine the grated cheese with the buttered bread chunks and add a bit more caraway seeds if you're as big a fan as I am. Spread the bread-cheese mixture on top of the veggies.

6. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

7. Optionally put a bit more cheese on top and broil for 5 minutes at the end for an extra-crispy-cheesy layer on top.

Homemade White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti

These festive white chocolate cranberry biscotti go perfectly with a warm cup of coffee and a pair of fuzzy socks :)

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries (a heaping 1/4 cup)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar (preferably superfine sugar)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup white chocolate baking chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
2. Combine flour and baking powder in a small mixing bowl and set aside. If you don’t have superfine sugar, place granulated sugar in a food processor and pulse until it feels more like fine sand.
3. Place sugar and butter in a mixer and beat on high until well combined.
4. Add in eggs and vanilla, mix well.
5. Slowly add in flour mixture until a stiff dough forms.
6. Stir in dried cranberries.
7. Separate dough into two equal pieces and form into flat logs. You may need some extra flour for shaping the dough if your batter is too sticky.
8. Place logs on prepared baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
9. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
10. Using a serrated bread knife, cut each log at an angle to form individual biscotti (should get about 11 cookies per log).
11. Place cut biscotti back on the baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes per side.
12. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
13. Once biscotti have cooled, melt white chocolate chips using a double boiler. Once melted, remove bowl from heat and dip the bottom of each biscotti in the white chocolate.
14. Place white chocolate-dipped biscotti on a cooling rack to allow the white chocolate to harden.
15. Enjoy!

Wild mushroom and dill sauce

First of all, I don't like mushrooms, the taste and texture of them make me feel sick, which is why I was so surprised when I tasted the sauce and replicated it yesterday and I found it astounding, particularly when served with chicken ballontines.

Anyway, here's the list of ingredients and the recipe: shiitake, chanterelle, morel and oyster mushrooms (all sliced), Madeira (a fortified wine), double cream, half a finely diced onion, two pasted garlic cloves, dill and a bit of lemon juice.

Heat a frying pan with a very small amount of oil and add the mushrooms when the pan is good and hot, fry then until they start to brown, then remove them from the pan and put them to a side. Put the garlic and onion into the pan and sweat for a minute or two, then add some Madeira and let the alcohol reduce. Add cream and reduce again, put the mushrooms back into the pan and sprinkle with dill. Finish off with a spritz of lemon juice and serve.

[RECIPE REQUEST] "Heart healthy" recipes that are flavorful and simple to make.

Hey everyone! Kind of an odd request but I figured I'd give it a shot. For Christmas I am making my dad a "custom" cookbook. It'll have a few recipes I make for him often when I'm home but I also wanted to add some other recipes that I think he'd like. He recently had his second heart attack so I'm looking for recipes that are deemed "heart healthy" but aren't too bland. Google has mostly turned up standard type recipes that aren't very interesting. So if you have any go-to recipes that are healthy or any tips and recommendations, they are appreciated!

Japanese Beef Curry

Ingredients:
Thinly sliced Chuck/Ribeye/Shabu-Shabu*.
*Freeze steaks then cut with serrated knife into very almost translucent thin strips.
Some Regular carrots (baby carrots are bullshit).
Some Tatos (Yukon gold or whatever the hell is at your market).
Some Onions (Yellow or white).
Some of that good shit Japanese brand blocks (S&B or House is good, no need to make your own curry).
A bit Water.
Some Red wine (optional).
Rice (optional).
Any other good vegetables that can be stewed (optional).
Garlic (not optional).
Step 1: Sear thawed, dry beef, (and when I mean dry I mean with a paper towel to make it nice and dry for better caramelisation) in a pot on high heat, stirring occasionally, not bery frequently but enough to have even browning and to not burn the beef. Remove.
Step 2: Cut the Onions and shizzle into chunks. Make garlic into paste with knife.
Step 3: Deglaze pot with water/ wine, don't use too much wine if using, just to deglaze. If you're using water just add everything. If you're using wine just add all the water as well. Measure accordingly to how much you think. You're the Chef. Add curry.Put your curry block in according to taste/the box. I recommend the box on how big a portion of water you've added.
Step 4: Step 4, cook until potatoes are melt in your mouth. There is no recipe, do it by feel.
Step 6: I missed step 5, add beef or any delicate easy to cook veggies like pearl onions or peas or whatever you want.
Step 7:Serve with rice, or don't. Garnish it with green onions and egg if you want.

Favorite Cookies?

Now that Thanksgiving is over, who is ready to talk cookies? What is your favorite to make?

I'll start with the Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter from Gimme Some Oven

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (or unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder )

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

4 ounces coarsely chopped dark chocolate

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter chocolate chips

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

sea salt for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Melt coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter in a small heatproof bowl in a double-boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently.

Once melted, transfer chocolate mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate and peanut butter chips.

Round batter into heaping tablespoon-fulls, and place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle each ball of dough with a pinch of sea salt. Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces begin to crack, about 12-15 minutes. (Do not overbake these, or they will totally dry out!) Transfer on parchment to wire racks and let cool.

Serve immediately, or store in a sealed container for up to 3 weeks.

Middle Eastern inspired pizza or flatbread

Middle East-inspired flatbread or 'pizza'

This recipe uses a Lebanese spice blend called Zaatar. I used ARZ fine foods' version that has (according to the label) thyme, sumac, sesame, salt and spices.

Roast butternut squash with olive oil, black pepper, cayenne, cumin and garlic powder. Grilled pork (optional), seasoned with zaatar, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Hummus, containing chickpeas, olive oil, roasted garlic, cumin, lemon juice, tahini and salt. Onion, I used lots of sweet onion. Caramelized would be good. roasted garlic. Artichoke hearts, fine sliced. Fine-chopped chillies. Olive oil. Mozzarella cheese.

Start by roasting the garlic and butternut squash. Grill pork then finish in oven.

Make the pizza shell and spread hummus over it, this is your base sauce. Spread butternut, pork, onion, garlic, chillies and artichokes evenly. Brush olive oil over outside crust and sprinkle with Zaatar. Grate mozzarella over it. Bake at 425 F for 20-25 minutes.

Should have put olives on it. It can be done vegetarian and used to accompany other dishes (like grilled pork!). Goat or lamb would be even better than pork. Try this, it is very good.

Wanted: a tomato based red wine reduction sauce for steak

Haven't had any luck finding a recipe like this... Inspired by a dish I had at a Brazilian BBQ restaurant that was beef/veggies slow cooked in a tomato sauce. I've made a couple red wine reductions but none with tomato, not sure what other ingredients to add.

I'll be pan searing the steak (most likely filet mignon or something like that, haven't decided on cut) then finishing in the oven until medium rare.

Side of asparagus wrapped in prosciutto if that changes anything.

Wanted: Thai Curry Recipe (I tried)

This is what I tried:

• 3 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄3 cup chicken stock
• 1⁄2 red bell pepper
• 1⁄2 onion (a little less)
• Some zucchini
• 2 cloves garlic
• A smaller potato

It is decent, but not great. This is the second time I've tried and the first was really bad. It needs more flavor. I did add a little salt when I sautéed the veggies, which I then poured into the mixture of everything else. I also added a dash of cayenne for a little extra spice. There was very little spice. I have half the batch left, is there anything I can try to improve it?

Made my own version of Panera's Broccoli Cheese Soup

I’ve never been much of a soup for lunch kind of person until now. This lightened up broccoli cheddar potato soup is so creamy and delicious, you won’t even miss the extra calories and fat ;)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 oz baby spinach
• 1 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
• 3/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• Pinch salt
• Pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth (or 2 1/2 cups water plus 2.5 tsp Better than Bouillon)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 4 small yellow potatoes
• 1/4 cup feta cheese
• 1 head broccoli, chopped into pieces
• 1 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Pour olive oil in large soup pot over medium heat. Once warmed, add in garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
2. Add spinach, flour, and seasonings to pot. Stir another 30 seconds.
3. Pour in broth, milk, and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until potatoes are soft.
4. Next add in feta cheese and broccoli. Stir to combine then continue to cook (uncovered) for another 5-10 minutes, or until broccoli is soft. Taste and adjust seasonings to taste.
