We’re trying something new where we archive the weekly recipes we curate with our grocery bags.
This week’s recipes
Make a chicken chile verde! I love making chile verde in my cast iron pot and letting it age in the fridge a few days. This recipe uses pork shoulder and I support that choice, or you can order a whole chicken with your Grocery Bag and work with that! The chicken skins will render their fat into the stew and make it beautifully rich. Eat this with tacos or over rice & beans for a simple meal! Add-ons: whole chicken
Pickle your radishes for garnishing your chile verde and then make pesto with the radish greens! We love a good two-for-one recipe and there is no need to waste perfectly good radish greens. If you haven't tried them, radish greens are peppery like arugula. Our grated Parm makes pesto a super easy endeavor in your food processor. Add-ons: sugar, olive oil, grated Parm
We have two soup suggestions this week:French onion soup for the cooler weather is amazing. I suggest you caramelize onions in large batches (1 qt.) and keep them in the fridge as a zhuzhing agent for any recipe/sandwich you're slapping together... and that also puts you closer to a French onion soup in a pinch! Make a grilled cheese with our sandwich bread and sliced Cheddar to go along. Easy peasy lunch! Add-ons: sandwich bread, butter, sliced Cheddar
This Pumpkin soup with Mexican spices from Bobby Flay is one of my favorite soup recipes. Use the honeynut squash instead of pumpkin and substitute sour cream for creme fraiche if you need to! ROAST & BOWL! Roast the delicata squash, the romanesco cauliflower and the honeynut squash, add your caramelized onions, cut your apples and kale and make a beautiful fall harvest bowl! I love adding a cooked grain (farro, pearl cous cous or wild rice) or canned beans. That radish greens pesto could be really good here...
UP THE SNACK GAME with Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms! This fits into your Sunday Night Football vibe as well as it does for a classy cocktail night with friends at home. Try adding some Italian sausage to the stuffing! Add-ons: cream cheese, Italian sausage, butter
