CSA Winter Newsletter Week of January 11, 2011 What now? To someone unfamiliar with a CSA, one may assume there isn t much going on behind the scenes at farms across the Midwest. Not so! In order to provide the tasty produce and other items grown by family farms, there is nary a minute of idle time on the farm. True, although farmers may not be growing fresh produce this time of year, they are busy planning the upcoming season. Organic farmers plan their fields and crops with all the care of an architect designing a building, ensuring that all soil amendments and crop rotations are done strategically to give the soil the best nutrition for the crop grown in that particular area. Seeds are ordered from many different seed companies, and in the case of our Hillsboro community farmers, seeds that have been saved or grown specifically for seed are distributed based on the farmer s needs for the upcoming season. Supplies are ordered, and in the case of our farmers, meetings begin in January to determine what will be grown, in what quantities, and who will grow which items. Most of the farmers who work with Simply Wisconsin order their seed for this season in January, so timing is of the essence in determining the size of the CSA, the volume of restaurant business, etc., to ensure our produce needs are covered for the season. Although the calendar and weather may make the offseason seem longer, there is much work that is concentrated in a very short time between seasons! WHY POPCORN? Popcorn is a very popular, high-fiber snack for many families, and our popcorn farmers asked that we share the wealth with our produce share members! This week you receive heirloom organic Ladyfinger popcorn on the cob. This variety produces small, but very flavorful kernels that need little seasoning to enjoy. To de-kernel the cobs, simply push the edge of the cob against a sturdy bowl rim to get it started, then push forward with your thumbs to clean the rest of the cob. I like to pop this variety the old fashioned way in a kettle over the stove. I use a little less than 1/4 cup oil (canola is what many people use, however, I have also used olive oil, safflower oil, and coconut oil find your favorite) and 1/3 cup-1/2 cup of kernels. Cover and cook over medium high heat, shaking the pot throughout until popping slows to once every second or so. Because each stove is different, it may take once or twice to find what works best for you! http://www.simplywi.com/blog Follow us on Twitter: @simplywisconsin Join us on Facebook: Simply Wisconsin, LLC Items to keep on hand this season: Pine nuts or walnuts Veggie or seed oil Wine or sherry vinegar White vinegar Chicken or veggie stock Lemon juice Honey Olive oil Balsamic vinegar Baking supplies flour, sugar, corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla Butter or your favorite substitute Shopping List for this week: Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup: Butter Reduced-sodium broth White pepper Nutmeg Half-and-half or light cream Crème fraiche or dairy sour cream Toasted pumpkin seeds Fresh tarragon Nikki s Sweet Potatoes: Coconut milk Fresh ginger Maple syrup sea salt Unsweetened grated coconut Macadamia nuts Carrot Casserole: Green bell pepper Evaporated milk Dried savory Jalapeno pepper Parsley flakes Dry bread crumbs Risotto with Fresh Carrots: Chicken or vegetable stock Parmesan Arborio rice Butternut Squash Butter: Apple cider Brown sugar Honey or maple syrup Nutmeg and cinnamon Almond extract Spinach-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms: Reduced fat Italian dressing Red bell pepper Fresh spinach Parmesan

STORAGE TIPS Winter Squash Butternut Butternut is a hearty storage squash and should do well in cool, dark storage or the refrigerator. I would recommend using the Butternut within 30 days. Portobello Mushrooms transfer from the retail pack container into a zippered plastic bag. Release air and store in the fridge until ready to rinse and use use within 5 days. DO NOT WASH MUSH- ROOMS PRIOR TO STORAGE or they will turn soft and mushy! Cipollini Onions store in cool, dry storage, and watch for sprouting. Carrots store loose in your crisper drawer. Use within 14 days. Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/recipes/butternut-squash-and-carrot-soup-536058/ 3 cups peeled, diced butternut squash (about 1 small squash) 2 cups thinly sliced carrot (4 medium) 3/4 cup thinly sliced leek or chopped onion 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 2 14-ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 cup half-and-half or light cream Crème fraiche or dairy sour cream (optional) Toasted pumpkin seeds (optional) Fresh tarragon sprigs (optional) In a large covered saucepan cook squash, carrot, and leek in hot butter over medium heat about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 25 to 35 minutes or until vegetables are very tender. Cool slightly. Place one -third of the squash mixture in a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until almost smooth. Repeat with remaining squash mixture. Return all of mixture to saucepan. Add white pepper and nutmeg; bring just to boiling. Add half-and-half; heat through. If desired, garnish each serving with crème fraiche, pumpkin seeds, and/or fresh tarragon. Makes 6 servings (6 cups) Sweet Potatoes because these potatoes have been in cold storage, they should be stored in your crisper drawer in the fridge rather than cool, dry storage. Use within 14 days. Daikon Radish store loose in your crisper drawer in the fridge. Use within 14 days. Red Cabbage store in your crisper drawer in the fridge. Use within 10-14 days. Garlic since this garlic has been kept in a cooler, it should be stored in the refrigerator. Use within 30 days. Butternut Squash Butter http://www.salon.com/food/recipes/2010/11/01/cheddar_scones_butternut_squash_butter/index.html 1 medium butternut squash (about 2.5 pounds) 2 cups unsweetened apple cider 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon almond extract pinch of salt Peel the butternut squash, making sure to peel until you reach the orange flesh. Scoop out the seeds, and chop the flesh into 1-inch pieces. In a saucepan with a lid, simmer the squash, covered, in 2 cups of apple cider over medium low heat until it's very, very tender, about 45 minutes, stirring more frequently as the squash breaks down and gets sticky. Purée with an immersion blender or in a standard blender until smooth. If the mixture is very loose or liquid (as happens sometimes if you get less flesh from the squash than you expect), return it to the saucepan and reduce it over medium heat, stirring continuously until it's thickened, and then remove from the heat. It will thicken slightly as it cools. Similarly, you can thin with more apple cider or water if it's thicker than you'd like. Add the other ingredients and adjust the seasonings. You may need more sweetener depending on the sweetness of the squash and cider you started with. You may also prefer more cinnamon. (I like the cinnamon to be very subtle.) Spoon into a glass jar or bowl and let it cool thoroughly before using. It will keep in the refrigerator for about three weeks.

Nikki's Sweet Potato Recipe http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/nikkis-sweet-potatoes-recipe.html If you'd like to prepare part of this recipe in advance you can certainly bake the sweet potatoes a day or two in advance and save the mashed sweet potatoes in the refrigerator until you are ready to move forward with the remaining steps. Also, you can make these vegan by using olive oil and not butter. 2 1/2 pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes 1/3 cup coconut milk 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt 1/3 cup raw, unsweetened grated coconut 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter 1/3 cup toasted macadamia nuts, chopped Preheat your oven to 350F degrees, a rack in the upper third. Butter or oil 6 ramekins or a single mediumsized casserole dish. Wrap each sweet potato in foil, pierce numerous times with the tines of a fork and place in the oven for somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half, until each is baked through. Times vary greatly depending on the size of your sweet potatoes - in the end you should be able to cut through the center flesh as if it were soft butter. Remove the potatoes from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and cut each sweet potato in half. Scrape the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. You should have about three cups of sweet potatoes. In a large bowl mash the sweet potatoes with the coconut milk. If my sweet potatoes are on the fibrous side, l take a hand blender to them for a minute or so (alternately you could use a food processor). Stir in the ginger, maple syrup and salt. Let it sit for a few minutes, stir again and taste - adjust the seasoning if you need to - this is your chance to get the right amount of salt and ginger in the sweet potatoes before they go in the oven. Spoon the sweet potato mixture into individual baking dishes (or single larger baking dish), sprinkle with coconut, drizzle with olive oil and bake uncovered until warm and the coconut golden roughly 30-40 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with the toasted macadamia nuts. Serves about 6.

CSA Winter Newsletter Week of January 11, 2011 Page 7 Fresh Carrot Pasta Dough Martha Stewart Settings on pasta makers vary; we used a KitchenAid pasta sheet roller attachment, but you can use any machine as long as you change the settings incrementally. Makes about 1 pound 6 ounces carrots (3 to 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 2 large eggs 1 large egg yolk 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting Coarse salt Semolina flour, for storage Add 2 inches of water to a medium saucepan, and fit with a steamer insert. Bring to a simmer. Add carrots; cover, and steam until softened, about 10 minutes. Puree carrots in a food processor (you should have about 1/2 cup puree). Add eggs and yolk to puree in food processor, and process until combined. Add flour and 1 heaping teaspoon salt, and process until dough just comes together, about 20 seconds. Transfer dough to a well-floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes, adding up to 2 tablespoons flour if dough is too sticky. Place on a piece of parchment, and cover with an inverted bowl, or wrap tightly in plastic; let rest for 1 to 2 hours. Cut dough into 8 pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time (keep the remaining pieces covered with the inverted bowl), flatten dough into an oblong shape slightly thinner than the pasta machine's widest setting (number 1). Dust dough very lightly with flour, and feed through machine. Fold lengthwise into thirds and rotate 90 degrees. Repeat twice on same setting to smooth dough and increase its elasticity. Turn the dial to next narrower setting. Pass dough through twice, gently supporting it with your palm. Continue to press dough, passing it through ever-finer settings, two passes on each setting, until sheet is almost translucent and very thin but still intact (number 5 of 8 on a KitchenAid pasta roller). The dough will stretch to about 16 inches long. If dough bubbles or tears, pass it through again, and dust with flour if the dough is sticking. For farfalle, lasagna squares, or ravioli: Place rolled sheet on a lightly floured surface, and cut out as directed in corresponding recipe, using a dry brush to dust flour off if needed. For ribbon pastas: Place dough on a drying rack until slightly tacky, 10 to 15 minutes, and then use a pasta machine or cutting attachment to cut into strands. Drape over rack until strands are semidry and won't stick together, about 20 minutes. Cook immediately, or lay flat on a baking sheet dusted with semolina, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
