Enjoy the taste of fall
The end of summer is
the start of harvest season, which means it's finally time to
enjoy all that delicious produce you've been growing all summer.
At its freshest, produce has unparalleled texture and taste.
Read on to find out which of our products are in season and get
some tips on the best ways to prepare them.
Root vegetables to the front
Beets, turnips, potatoes, carrots and company: after so long
underground, root vegetables are finally ready to spring forth!
It's why they're in so many season recipes, such as hearty
soups or big cuts of meat
slow roasted for hours at a time.
Squash and pumpkins steal the show
What's an October without pumpkins? Fall is the best season for
enjoying all the beautiful and abundant varieties of squash and
pumpkins available from local farms. You've got your rightful
classics like
butternut squash soup or pumpkin
pie , but you could also try introducing yourself to some fresh
new faces like this stunning de
pumpkin baklava.
Peppers, any way you want them
Green, yellow or red-no matter what form they're in, there's
nothing like a seasonal bell pepper. You can stuff the larger ones
with meat
for a mouth watering main, or puree red peppers to make muhammara,a
traditional Syrian dip made from red peppers, olive oil, spices and
walnuts. Its scintillating aromas are perfect for chilly fall
weather.
We're nuts for nuts
September to November is harvest season for several varieties of
nuts. What could be nicer than adding flavour and texture to a dish
with these nutrient-packed ingredients? Try cashews with Lebanese
rice and chicken, or almonds in siyadieh
,an ultra tasty dish of rice and fish.
