Marinated Squash

5/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Salting vegetables before cooking is a great trick to remove extra moisture! It’s not just for cucumbers and eggplant!

3 medium squash/zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
11⁄2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small bunch mint, divided

1 small garlic clove, finely grated
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1⁄2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (or a sliced fresh hot pepper of your choice)
Freshly ground black pepper

Toss the squash with salt and set in a colander to drain for 10-15 minutes. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a medium bowl.
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high until shimmering. Arrange squash cut side down in skillet, breaking into smaller pieces if needed in order to fit in a single layer, and cook, moving around in pan to ensure even browning, until golden brown on cut side, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover (if youdon’t have a lid use a baking sheet), and continue to cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut into 2” pieces, and toss with dressing. Let sit in dressing for 15-20 minutes to marinate, serve at room temperature.

Roasted Vegetable Bistro Salad

5/18/2020

The best part of this salad is that you can really use any extra veggies that you have. Seriously anything you've got  hiding in the fridge will work. If you don’t want to poach the eggs, just top with your favorite style egg.

4 cups vegetables (you pick!), cut into large chunks 1⁄4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 garlic clove, grated

Small pinch of smoked paprika
4 large eggs
1 pound salad mix
4 tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard Vinaigrette Flaky sea salt (for serving)


Preheat oven to 450°. Toss vegetables with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, rotating pans halfway through, until vegetables are golden and tender, 25–30 minutes. Place grated garlic and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Add roasted vegetables and toss to combine.
Meanwhile, bring 2” water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat so water isat a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until white of egg in water is opaque before adding the next egg (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels as they are done.
Toss salad mix and roasted vegetables with dressing and season with sea salt and pepper. Divide salad among plates and top each with a poached egg.

Squash and Cheddar Scones

5/18/2020

0 Comments

 
A nice change from your usual zucchini bread, you can use any type of summer squash for these.

2 and 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, VERY cold, grated on the large side of a box grater
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup (full-fat) sour cream (or Greek yogurt!)
2/3 cup zucchini, grated and drained of moisture
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated, divided
​

Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat; set aside. In a large bowl mix together 2 1/2 cups of the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
Grate the butter (or cut into very small pieces) then quickly work it into the mixture (using your fingers) until it resembles a coarse meal.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and sour cream, then add to flour and butter mixture. In a small bowl combine remaining tablespoon of flour, grated zucchini, and a 1/2 cup of the cheese; toss to coat, then add to the scone mixture; gently fold them into dough with a spatula until combined.
Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean, floured work surface and shape the dough (you will have to work/knead it quite a bit to get it together) into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer them to the prepared sheet. Sprinkle the top of each scone with a little of the remaining cheese. Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until cooked through and the tops are golden brown.
