Fettuccine with Asparagus, Beet Green Pesto, and Poached Egg

Screen Shot 2020-06-20 at 11.58.41 AM

 

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups (packed) chopped beet greens (from 1 bunch beets)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 cup (packed) parsley leaves
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • Olive oil
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 pound fettuccine
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed, shaved lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler

Preparation:

    1. Heat a large skillet over medium and toast walnuts, shaking pan often, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and let cool; reserve skillet.
    2. Pulse cooled walnuts, beet greens, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 3/4 cup oil until a thick sauce forms. Add 2/3 cup Parmesan and pulse until well combined. You should have about 1 1/2 cups pesto.
    3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a very low simmer. The water should register 180°F on an instant-read thermometer. Set a large bowl of ice water near your work station. Crack eggs into 4 ramekins or small bowls. Transfer 1 egg to a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl to drain slightly (this will help remove extra egg whites and give the poached eggs a more compact shape). Carefully lower egg in strainer into hot water until egg is completely submerged. Gently shake strainer and carefully shape egg with a slotted spoon until edges of egg white start to turn opaque, 30–60 seconds. Carefully release egg from strainer into water with slotted spoon. Cook egg, turning and shaping occasionally with slotted spoon, until egg white is opaque and firm and yolk is plump and jiggles slightly to the touch, 3–3 1/2 minutes more. Transfer egg using a slotted spoon to the ice bath. As the first egg cooks, repeat steps to poach remaining 3 eggs, but keep an eye on which egg went in first. Use a timer to avoid overcooking.
    4. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook fettuccine, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Using tongs or a spider, transfer pasta to a colander to drain. Reserve pasta cooking liquid in pot and set aside 1 cup liquid for the pasta sauce.
    5. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in reserved skillet over medium-high. Add asparagus and sauté until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup pesto and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid; gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Add fettuccine and simmer, tossing occasionally, until well combined. If sauce is too loose, continue to simmer; if it’s too thick, add more pasta cooking liquid to loosen and stir vigorously to combine. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt, remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper.
    6. Meanwhile, return the pot of water to a very low simmer. Transfer eggs from ice bath to pot to reheat until warm, 30–60 seconds. Remove eggs using a slotted spoon and place on a plate rubbed with a little olive oil. Divide pasta among 4 plates and top with poached eggs and Parmesan.
  2. Do Ahead
    1. Pesto can be made and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Scallion Pancakes

Screen Shot 2020-05-29 at 1.00.24 PM

Ingredients:

Pancakes

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ⅓ cup chicken fat, warmed, or vegetable oil
  • 2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 8 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, plus more for brushing

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation:

Pancakes

  • Whisk 2½ cups flour and 1 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Mix in sesame oil and 1 cup boiling water with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking, until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest at room temperature 1 hour.

  • Divide dough into 8 pieces. Working with one at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface as thin as possible (each should be approximately 10″ in diameter). Brush about 2 tsp. chicken fat on dough and top with about ¼ cup scallions; season with salt. Roll dough away from you (like a jelly roll) into a thin cylinder, then, starting at 1 end, wind roll onto itself to create a coil (like a cinnamon roll). Cover with plastic wrap and repeat with remaining dough. Let rest at room temperature 15 minutes.

  • Working with 1 coil at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 5″ round (keep other coils covered). Repeat with remaining dough and stack as you go, separating with parchment or lightly greased foil brushed with vegetable oil.

  • Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-low. Working with one at a time, cook pancake, turning frequently to prevent scallions from burning, until golden brown and crisp on both sides and cooked through, 8–10 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a wire rack and let rest about 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Sauce

  • Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Serve alongside pancakes for dipping.

Screen Shot 2020-05-24 at 9.54.19 AM

  • 1 bunch hakurei turnips (approximately six, see note)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 tea black peppercorns, crushed
  • 3 thin slices of ginger

Let rest until there is a pool of liquid on the bottom of the bowl, about 30 minutes. Drain turnips of the salty water and pack into a pint sized mason jar. Add a small piece of beet if you’d like to make them pink!

  • Add vinegar, sugar, pepper and ginger slices. Apply a watertight lid and shake to combine. Place pickled turnips in the fridge and chill before eating. Pickles can be eaten within an hour of being made and will keep for at least a week

 

Kale and Spinach Fritata

Screen Shot 2020-05-24 at 9.56.42 AM

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • ½ to ¾ cup finely chopped blanched spinach, chard, kale or beet greens (to taste)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or pureed
  • 1 tablespoon, tightly packed, freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
  1. Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Beat in the greens, garlic and the Parmesan.
  2. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn’t burn. It will however turn golden.
  3. If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.

Simple Lemon Pasta with Pea Shoots and Parmesan

Screen Shot 2020-05-24 at 9.58.43 AM

Ingredients:

  • 2 heaping cups fresh pea shoots or pea tendrils
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup good-quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish (see recipe notes)
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 lb. spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup pasta water (reserved from when you cook the spaghetti)
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Preparation:

  1. If your pea shoots are particularly long, chop them into halves or thirds so they’re a bit easier to manage. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, and a generous amount of fresh ground pepper. (I like to do this while I’m waiting for the pasta water to boil!)
  3. Cook spaghetti in very salty water until al dente.
  4. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water (I just ladle some of the hot water out of the pot and into a measuring cup).
  5. Drain spaghetti and immediately add it to the mixing bowl with the lemon-olive oil mixture. Add reserved pasta water and toss to combine. The heat from the pasta will warm the sauce and melt the parmesan cheese.
  6. Add pea shoots to pasta and toss until parmesan has melted into a smooth sauce and pea shoots have softened slightly.
  7. Taste pasta and add a pinch of kosher salt to taste.
  8. Top pasta with additional parmesan cheese for garnish and serve immediately.

Buttered Radishes With A Poached Egg

Screen Shot 2020-05-08 at 6.53.08 PM

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches (12 to 14) French Breakfast Radishes
  • 2 tablespoons good unsalted butter
  • 6 scallions, diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 pieces of bread, toasted

Preparation:

  1. Prep the radishes by removing tops and roots. Slice in half lengthwise and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat butter over medium low heat. Add in scallions and let cook until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add the radishes, thyme, and salt to the scallions. Cover and let cook, stirring once or twice, until radishes are tender but still have a bit of crispness to them, 5-6 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. While radishes cook, poach eggs. I find I have the best luck with this technique. If you don’t like runny eggs, this would also be great with scrambled or hardboiled.
  4. To serve, place toast on two plates, divide radish mixture, and top each with a poached egg.

A lot has changed since our last communication and we hope that all are staying safe and healthy. As normalcy has quickly been pulled out from under us, we are spending these days on the farm to consider new ways of getting food to our community. In this hectic and confusing time, when the notion of “social distancing” separates us from one another, our community can still be strong. When feeling driven to fear seeing the empty shelves at the grocery store, or learning that your favorite restaurant has closed, remember that there are many local farms growing food right now, right down the road! Perhaps this global crisis will force us to look closer to home and rely on our neighbors.

At this time, it is uncertain what the future holds for many points of commerce, including one of our main places of income: our farmers markets. Luckily, we already have an alternate, familiar program at Hart Farm for getting fresh, local, packaged food to peoples’ homes. Our box share program minimizes customer contact with food and allows for a direct farm-to-consumer transaction, which we are able to make happen without social proximity.

We will be starting the box share program earlier than normal this year in order to make sure customers have safe access to local food and to guarantee stability for our business in these uncertain times. Deliveries will start April 24th instead of June 12th and will be made weekly instead of bi-weekly. We will be partnering with other local farms and businesses to provide options for bread, meat, cheese and other items like flour, beans and herbs to be included in the boxes.

This new early box share program we will be calling the “early season program.” You can purchase the full early season program on our website or pay per box. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we adjust our business to fit these transitional times. Now, more than ever we are grateful for your early support and commitment to Hart Farm. By purchasing your box share early you help us prepare for our season when funds are low. When our community engages and acts together, we build a strong local economy and fortified social integrity, even at a distance.
