Upcoming Events at Powisset!
Next weekend is a busy one at Powisset! We are hosting 3 events and I hope you can join us for one...or all!
From Nest to Table: Saturday, Sept. 19th at 10:00AM: First we will say hello to the chickens, learn about their daily routine, and partake in their egg collection. After we are done tending to them, we will head to the kitchen where we will make brunch, using the eggs we have just collected!
Trustees Membership Drive & Ice Cream Social: Saturday, Sept. 19th at 1:00PM: Learn about The Trustees while eating homemade apple crisp (baked by our own Wayne Ciuollo!) and ice cream donated by Crescent Ridge. We have several awesome raffle prizes and at 2:00PM we will be offering a walk down to see the animals with Melissa Gilbert, their amazing caretaker.
Cooking with Annie at Powisset: Bounty of the Fields: Sunday, Sept. 20th at 2:00PM - Learn how to make 3 dishes with veggies from the farm! The menu includes Melanzane Involtini al Forno (Baked Stuffed Eggplant), Beet and Goat Cheese Napoleon, and Ricotta Gnocchi with Blistered Tomatoes with chef/instructor extraordinaire, Annie Copps.
And....Meryl's Going Away Bash...
I hope that you all can come out so that we can give Meryl the proper send off she deserves! We are changing the date from Sun, November 1st to Saturday, November 14th. Please RSVP to one of the "Nicoles" at nlewis@ttor.org (N1) or nnacamuli@ttor.org (N2).
Leeks and kholrabi! Leeks are from the onion family and have a white bulb with large, overlapping, leaves. I recently learned that they are also one of the Welsh national emblems! Kholrabi is from the cabbage family and has a gnarly bulb-like shape with greens atop. The whole plant is edible either raw or cooked. Here are a few ideas on what to do with both vegetables.
Leek Recipes
You can use leeks in place of onions in most recipes but they also can stand on their own. Here are some creative ways to enjoy leeks.
Leek & Olive Tart With Two Cheeses
Creamed Leeks
Kholrabi Recipes
I love to use Kholrabi as a slaw or mixed into a cabbage slaw but with Fall around the corner, I thought sharing a roasting recipe would be fun and timely (although the weather these days makes me want to keep the cold slaw recipe on hand).
Roasted Kholrabi
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut four kholrabi bulb about 1/4 inch think and then cut in half. Toss with 1 Tbl. of olive oil (or other favorite cooking oil), 1 garlic clove (minced or crushed), salt and pepper. Place the kholrabi in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minut (tossing or turning once in between). Sprinkle with parmesean cheese and bake for an additional 5 mnutes to brown the cheese. Serve and enjoy!
