Hi - Jess Girotti here. If you have a recipe that you love that you'd like to share with other members or if a recipe link isn't working for you, feel free to email me at jgirotti@live.com. (Please note that I can't re-print a recipe from a cookbook that isn't already online.) Don't forget to check out the recipe pages on the Upswing website if you need more ideas for your other veggies.
MEXICAN MINT/TARRAGON VINAIGRETTE
Mexican mint (also referred to as Mexican mint marigold) can be used anywhere you would normally use tarragon. Give it a try in this vinaigrette. I'm planning on using my lettuce, some of my apples from the fruit share and this vinaigrette this week. This would also be amazing drizzled over grilled leeks! Check out the Lettuce page for other salad ideas!
BEET & CARROT SOUP WITH MEXICAN MINT
It's starting to feel like fall lately so I've had soup on my mind. This one uses beets, carrots and potatoes as well as the Mexican mint so it's super "share-friendly".
ROASTED DELICATA WITH MAPLE SYRUP AND THYME
This is my favorite way to make delicata squash. If you’re new to this squash variety, it’s sweet and delicious and the skin is thin and tender and completely edible so no peeling needed!
PURPLE POTATO BREAKFAST SKILLET
I adore purple potatoes. I mean...white and yellow potatoes are delicious too, but purple mashed potatoes are just FUN! Or check out this gorgeous breakfast dish with crispy purple potatoes and fried eggs.
SAVORY GALETTE WITH LEEKS AND KALE/CHARD
This recipe calls for kale but would work equally well with swiss chard. If you don't want to/have time to make the dough yourself just grab a store bought pie dough or, even better, puff pastry dough!
CHICKEN AND LEEKS IN CREAMY TARRAGON SAUCE
I will be subbing Mexican mint for the tarragon in this recipe this week. Perfect fall comfort food without being heavy. I'll be having the salad with apples and tarragon vinaigrette (above) with this and a wedge of crusty bread.
