Winter Bounty
If you love fresh local produce, the winter months offer hearty types of soups, stews and roasting, with a special emphasis on an assortment of phytonutrient greens, such as Kale, Bok Choy, Collards, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage and Leeks. It’s the perfect time of year to try something new, playing up flavors such as the coffee-esque Chicory (throw some leaves into your next salad), or the earthy sweetness of white, beta-carotene rich, Parsnips.
There is also plenty of color to bring to your table with fruits and vegetables that hint of warmer things to come, such as Avocados, Bananas, Sweet Potatoes, Oranges and Tangerines. The menu we’ve put together below makes the most of winter’s offerings.
