Asparagus and White Bean Salad with Feta and Lemon Dressing

Served with crusty bread, this salad makes a terrific meal. White beans provide a delectable hearty tenderness, without overwhelming the delicate asparagus. Tangy feta, zesty lemon, and a touch of mint give this salad a bright and refreshing flavor.

Assertive Greens with Honey Mustard Sauce

America’s Test Kitchen cleaned, stemmed, and cooked over 100 pounds of leafy greens to come up with the best ways to cook both the tender, mild varieties of greens and the more “assertive” ones. They found that the amount of water used to blanch the greens really does matter, so take the time to measure it! Cooking time also matters — these greens do not need to be boiled for hours, the way old-timey cooks did it!

This newer method sounds much more time-consuming and involved than it really is in practice. The basic blanching method described here results in tender greens with good color and full flavor without bitterness. After draining them, they can be quickly cooked with whatever seasonings you desire. We’re particularly partial to this honey mustard version.

Assertive Greens with Onions or Shallots and Cream

A bit of background — all leafy greens are not interchangeable. Some are delicate enough for salads; others can be tough as shoe leather. In general, though, they fall into two categories, each of which is handled differently. Within each category, though, the type of green used is pretty much interchangeable. The “tender greens” (beet greens, Swiss chard, spinach) are delicate and moisture-rich. The “assertive greens” (kale, mustard, turnips, collards) are stronger in flavor, and require added liquid as they cook.
This is a great recipe for those more assertive greens. Technique is the key. The initial shallow blanching erases some of their bitterness without robbing them of their character. It preserves their color and flavor, saves time, and allows them to be cooked more quickly.Once the greens have been blanched and drained, they can be used in any number of tasty recipes. In this one, the sweetness of the onions and the richness of the cream mellow the bitterness of the greens.

Baby's Berry-Citrus Compote with Champagne Vinaigrette *NON-ALCOHOLIC!!!*

This is something I tossed together one morning whilst grazing through my fridge in search of … whatever, LOL!

Proper food precautions with honey and all that, don’t let your tiny toddlers steal this, just in case, or leave the honey out, and wash all fruits well, no matter the origin. Safety first!

Feel free to substitute seasonal berries! ;oD

Baked Rabbit

I have many memories of being served a variety of small, wild game at my grandparents’ house in Tennesse as a child. Yes, they were hillbillies! They grew, fished, and hunted most everything they ate. Rabbit was commonly served, usually fried or stewed. This was my first try at cooking it myself (thirty something years later) and was happily surprised at how well it turned out. I read several recipes online and came up with my own version of a baked recipe. Knowing how much love and care they put into their farm, I purchased this delicate and tasty rabbit from Broad River Pastures.

Baked Zucchini

A yummy way of fixing zucchini (or other summer squash) that concentrates the flavor and keeps the squash from being watery. It works with an oven meal, or on the grill or campfire. Bonus: No pan to wash!

Beef 'n' Brew Crockpot Vegetable Soup

This is a great soup to make when you’re expecting visitors. It can be assembled and started in the crockpot many hours before the party, leaving you free to do other things. Beer is a prominent ingredient in this hearty soup. If you want a lighter beer flavor, use a pale beer. Use a darker beer for a more pronounced beer taste. (Use home brew for real bragging rights!)

Blender Pesto Sauce to Use Now or Freeze

This is delicious on pasta or on baked Irish potatoes. Pesto also can be made ahead and frozen for convenience. (Note that the Parmesan cheese is added later, when the pesto is used, not when it is going to be frozen.)

Bok Choy Salad

This simple recipe has gotten 4 and 5 star reviews from 150+ cooks on the popular web site, allrecipes.com. As one reviewer notes, “This is hands down the best salad that I’ve ever had… I urge you to just give this one a try. You would think that raw baby bok choy would give this salad a bitter taste, but the dressing makes all the difference.”

Braised Cabbage with Parsley and Thyme

This dish is delicate and simple. It was the outcome of a series of cooking trials in which America’s Test Kitchen searched for the very best ways to cook cabbage. If your past experience has only been with gray, mushy “boiled cabbage”, try this — you won’t believe you’re eating the same vegetable!

VEGAN/VEGETARIAN ALTERNATIVE: Substitute white wine or apple juice for the chicken broth, and it will still be tasty. Canola oil works as a substitute for the butter, but olive oil has too strong a taste for this delicate dish. (Don’t try making this fat-free. America’s Test Kitchen found that the combination of a bit of fat and a water-based liquid is key to preserving the cabbage’s texture and developing a more complex flavor.)

Braised Radishes, Two Ways

For those of us who grew up eating radishes only raw and in salads, braised radishes come as a happy surprise. Cooking changes the radishes completely, replacing their pungent flavor with a mild, turnip-like sweetness. Here are two versions: the one with chives goes well with chicken, pork, or fish. The version with cream turns a colorful bright pink. Sauteeing the radishes briefly in butter helps bring out their mellow, sweet flavor, and as a braising liquid, chicken broth was the first choice of the cooks at America’s Test Kitchen, but feel free to experiment with vegetarian options.

Buffalo & Peppers

This hearty and healthy “soup” is one of our mainstay meals on the farm. Perfect for a breezy day, it is warming, but not heavy. It’s simple to make and this free form recipe can be varied to utilize other ingredients you may have on hand.

Stock made ahead of time from either water buffalo soup bones or other grass fed soup bones (beef, lamb) is the very best to use. It turns into a thick “gelatin” when chilled, but immediately liquifies again when heated. This is caused by the presence of collagen, which is wonderfully beneficial to our joints, hair, and nails (anti-inflammatory). If good soup bones are not available, use a natural broth instead.

Butter - The Easy Way

Forget everything anyone has ever told you about butter being hard to make. You don’t need a butter churn or a cream separator. All you need is a spoon, a jar and an electric mixer. Here is how you can make fresh butter – the quick and easy way! This recipe will provide you with fresh butter and buttermilk. The milk that you skim the cream off of is perfectly delicious “skim” milk – so you are not “wasting” anything by making butter. NOTE: It is better to use cream from milk that has been in the fridge for at least 3 days.

Calamondin Orange Marmalade

Calamondin oranges are the small but plentiful fruits of a popular citrus houseplant that originated as a cross between a tangerine and a kumquat. They smell sweet, but are surprisingly tart, and make a very refreshing marmalade. This is a very simple recipe, and quite adaptable to other tart citrus such as Meyer lemon or lime. I haven’t tried sugar substitutes with these, but if you have success doing so, please share your secrets with the rest of us!
