• Slow-Baked Beans With Kale – Recipes for Health – NYTimes.com
  Beans baked very slowly for several hours develop a creamy texture, while the liquid they cook in, which thickens to a syrup, acquires a caramelized flavor. The kale practically melts in this casserole, going from bitter to sweet. I love using lima beans in this dish because they’re so big and their texture is so luxurious.

• Dinner Tonight: Spiced Butternut Squash, Lentil, and Goat Cheese Salad | Serious Eats : Recipes
  “Main dish salads are tricky to pull off, especially around this time of year when you can’t just dump a bunch of ripe tomatoes into a bowl with lettuce and call it a dinner. With autumn here, a little extra effort is required. But it also means the results can be even more soulful and satisfying. That’s especially true for this salad from Bon Appétit, which mixes roasted butternut squash with French green lentils.”

I used:

• 1 tablespoon organic Spanish olive oil
• 2 tablespoons organic butter
• 1 heaping cup of sliced spring onions or leeks
• 3/4 pounds of asparagus, the hard ends snapped off
• one carrot cut into small pieces
• 1 cup of peas
• 1 small bag of fresh snap peas.
• 1/4 cup or more as needed of heavy cream
• 1/2 pound of whole-wheat penne
• 1/4 cup chopped mint
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 2/3 cup grated parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino romano
• finely grated zest of one lemon

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Add the onions and leeks and cook gently until very soft – at least 10-15 minutes.

Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta.

Bring a large sauce pan of water to boil for the vegetables. Add the asparagus and cook fro 1 minute, then add the carrots and cook for 1 minute, then add the peas and cook for another minute.  Strain and add to the pan with the onions. Add the cream and put it aside until the pasta is done.

When the pasta is al dente, drain and add them to the pan with the onions, vegetables, & cream. Heat for a couple of minutes and add the mint, chives. 1/4 cup of the cheese, and the lemon zest.

Serve in bowls with cheese for sprinkling, some nice bread, and good drink.

Here is the recipe I used. it has some variations from the one in the book.

For the Shortcakes:

• 2 cups organic whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 cup of fair-trade, organic sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups organic unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small chunks
• 1/2 cup organic buttermik or keifer
• 1/2 cup organic heavy cream, plus more for brushing
• lemon zest from one organic lemon (about 2 teaspoons)
• Organic raw sugar for sprinkling

In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder

Add the butter a few cubes at a time, pulsing between additions. Continue to pulse if necessary  until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Put it in a large bowl and set it aside.

In a medium bowl mix the buttermilk, cream, and lemon zest. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out to a floured surface and gently knead it until it comes together. Using a rolling pin or your hand, make a 3/4 inch level disk. Let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

For the Strawberries:

• 3 pints fresh or organic strawberries, hulled and quartered.
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint.
• a scant 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Let the strawberries it in the fridge.

Remove the  dough from the fridge. Using a glass or a cookie cutter, cut circles/squares/hearts that are about 2-inches in diameter. Place them on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Brush each with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake about 15-18 minutes, until they are pale brown.

Whip more cream. When the shortcakes come out of the oven, put them on a rack to cool. When ready to eat cut each in half horizontally and put a layer of cream then a layer of the strawberry mixture, then more cream (if you want to) Put the top on, add more cream or strawberries as you desire.

Enjoy.

• Dinner Tonight: Braised Winter Squash with Garlic | Serious Eats : Recipes
  “I was tempted by recipes for ravioli and risotto, but eventually settled on something that would do nothing to obscure the wonderful flavor and texture, presenting the squash simply, as-is, braised with a little garlic then caramelized over high heat. It came courtesy of my worn copy of Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything.”
