    Excerpt: "Store Long-Lasting Crops

    Little or no special equipment is required to put these goods away until you want them:

    #Apples: Apples keep well for about 6 months at temperatures above freezing but below 45°F. If you don’t have a root cellar, a double cardboard box in a cool basement can approximate the conditions.

    #Carrots: After harvesting, remove the green tops and brush off any excess dirt. Put the carrots into a cardboard box and pack dry sand around them. Store the box in a cool basement.

    #Onions and #Garlic: Hang mature, dry-skin onion bulbs in a mesh bag in a cool, dry, airy location. Braided onions and garlic can also be hung.

    #RootVegetables: If covered with a thick layer of mulch (hay, dried leaves, straw), carrots, garlic, horseradish, leeks, parsley, parsnips, radishes, and turnips can be left in the ground well into the winter and harvested into the spring."

  2. Two dollars of scraps you already own and a jar of something green and loud that will improve eggs, toast, potatoes, and one bad Tuesday. A week in the fridge under oil. Forever in an ice tray.
    There's a particular grace to standing at a counter at six and turning the discard pile into supper.

  3. Everything you were about to throw out, made into the best thing on the table.
    Carrot tops. Radish greens. The woody stems off parsley and cilantro and basil. The pale celery leaves nobody eats. Wash them, pack the processor tight, one garlic clove, a handful of whatever nut or seed is cheapest, salt, lemon, enough oil to make it move. Ninety seconds. Done. #Cooking #FoodAsMedicine #ZeroWaste #Recipes #Frugal #Herbs #Kitchen #Pesto #Vegetarian #Community #MutualAid #Solidarity

  4. Until this weekend, I had been blissfully unaware of the concept of Reduced Fat Pesto.

    Now I have three questions:

    1/ who the hell did this?
    2/ wtf is wrong with them?
    3/ have they been caught?

  23. Pesto grandioso
    #vegan #vegetarisch #Eigenkreation #geilerScheiss

    Ich fürchte, ich habe heute das beste #Pesto gemacht, dass ich je gegessen habe.

    Die Inspiration stammt von #Ottolenghi (dort mit Koriandergrün), da ich das aber nicht mag, wurde es von mir etwas angepasst.

    #Petersilie #Basilikum geröstete #Haselnüsse geröstete #Koriander.körner #Knoblauch eingelegte #Salzzitrone #Zitronenschale #Olivenöl #Zitronensaft SalzPfeffer Zucker pürieren.

  24. Around this time of year, an oddball vegetable crop shows up at farmers markets around here that to more technically-inclined shoppers may evoke the sight of a cluttered network closet.

    But to me the late-spring arrival of garlic scapes, the aboveground parts of hardneck garlic plants, means something else: garlic scape pesto. I picked up a recipe for it from Potomac Vegetable Farms–handwritten, then copied on green paper–at least two decades ago, and it’s had a spot in my binder of recipes ever since.

    Garlic scape pesto

    • 1 bunch garlic scapes (8 to 10 or so scapes, in my experience cheaper when sold by the pound than by the bunch)
    • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
    • ¼ cup high-quality olive oil
    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese

    Rinse and dry the scapes, then trim the thick end of each one so you don’t have any dried-out bits going into the pesto.

    Then chop each scape into roughly one-inch segments and puree them in a food processor, scraping the less-blended bits down the sides of the bowl as needed so they get thoroughly processed. Add the nuts and puree them, then add the oil and cheese to the mix and process everything until it’s all blended into a bright-green paste. Boom, you’re done.

    The tangy taste is not as garlicky as you might think–because you’re not throwing actual garlic cloves into it. And because the other ingredients moderate the flavor further, it’s more like basil pesto with extra garlic. I use it not only as a pasta sauce but as a sandwich spread and an addition to brighten any other sauce or dressing; for example, it’s great mixed with olive oil and brushed onto chicken before grilling.

    But unlike basil pesto, garlic scape pesto keeps for months in the fridge. And if you dip into even a double batch of garlic scape pesto often enough, you may find that you run out an inconvenient number of months before garlic scapes return to your local market.
