We’re trying something new where we archive the weekly recipes we curate with our grocery bags.
This week’s recipes:
The theme here is low effort, high payoff!
🥑ALL THE TOASTS Every move here starts with our sandwich loaf.
Try making a roasted garlic hummus using canned chickpeas and olive oil from our pantry and substitute a bit of peanut butter if you don't have tahini or sesame seeds to make some at home. Top your toast with hummus, roasted carrots and radish green pesto.
Do a quick pickle with the radishes, then smash your avo with lemon and salt, and halve your heirloom grape tomatoes before dressing them with lemon, parsley, olive oil and salt. Spread the avo on toast, then top with the tomatoes & pickled radishes. (FYI if you add slices of red beet to the pickling radishes, they'll come out funky & pink!)
Another way to top your avo toast: We are loyal to this vegan-friendly kimchi from Chi Kitchen!
Cut the delicata into rings and roast them in the oven. You can rinse the squash seeds, dry them with paper towel, toss with oil and salt, and roast them too! Spread some caramelized onion cream cheese on your toast and top with the delicata rings & toasted seeds. Finish with a tangle of watercress greens, a drizzle of sesame oil and a squeeze of lemon.
EASY PASTA DISHES
Ok the radish green pesto is a total power move for those who know/game changer for those who don't. Once you see it, it can't be unseen. Use this recipe as a guide and improvise with whatever nuts you have on hand. If you have garlic, lemons, olive oil and grated Parm, you can improvise this! You can sauté the red onions & little tomatoes before combining fun shapes of pasta with the sauce & veggies. If you have leftover sauce, put it in a glass jar and top with a thick layer of olive oil before storing in the fridge. It'll last longer.
Tagliatelle with mushrooms & prosciutto (or bacon!) sounds so good right now! We have the right noodles, the heavy cream and butter you need and the grated Parm that the recipe did not call for but we feel is quite welcome. If you have herbs from last week's bag, the thyme goes here!
The only thing that would make this Lemon Garlic Asparagus Pasta dish better is seasoned & toasted breadcrumbs (kinda like the ones here) and grated Parm! We suggest using penne pasta or spaghetti for this one.
️BRUNCH AT HOME
This brussels sprouts hash & eggs sounds super easy and comes together in 1 pan. We would augment it with diced potatoes or even sweet potatoes! Grab a dozen Pat's Pastured eggs from our fridge too. Squeeze a lemon and top with grated Parm. (Sorry, we just love a sprinkle of cheese on everything.)
Brown Butter Banana Bread: the 4 B's they never taught me in Business School. Brown butter is easier than it sounds. We have yogurt. You can do this! I wanna know what happens if you add the blueberries here, like a banana bread & blueberry muffin mashup. Let me know if you try it.
Blueberry Pancakes and crispy bacon will hit the spot for a lot of us! I learned a hack for making the batter fluffier: Separate the egg whites and whip them into stiff peaks, assemble the rest of the batter using the egg yolks, and then fold in the egg whites as the final step for making the batter. Kinda like making sponge cake. Or, you know, make the recipe as written.
