Stuffed Squash

  • 1 large acorn squash, cut in half from stem to bottom and seeds removed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 shallots or 1 med onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 1/2 cups or 1 can cooked beans (navy, garbanzo, great northern) or lentils

  • 1 bunch cooking greens, thick stems removed and sliced into ribbons (collards, kale, broccoli raab, or other green of choice)

  • 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (to taste)

  • salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • parmesan & pepper flakes, for serving (optional)

PREPARATION

Preheat your oven to 375 F. Coat the squash with olive oil and place face down on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges of the squash are golden and the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.

While the squash cooks, heat the oil in a large, roomy skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 3 mins, or until the onions are tender and clear. Stir in the beans. Next, stir in the greens. Cook, stirring often, until the greens are tender (about 5 mins). Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

To serve, stuff each squash half with the bean mixture. Top with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan, if desired. Recipe here.

Tomato Braised Romano Beans

  • 1 Tbs. olive oil

  • 1 cup very thinly sliced onion

  • 3-4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced lengthwise

  • 1 lb. romano beans

  • 3/4 cup dry white wine

  • 1.5lbs tomatoes, diced

  • 1-1/2 tsp. minced jarred hot cherry peppers; more to taste

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 Tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

PREPARATION

In a medium Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and garlic just begin to brown and the beans turn bright green, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pot is almost dry and the wine is mostly evaporated, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, peppers, and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, breaking up larger tomato pieces with a spoon.

Reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter until it melts. Season to taste with salt and serve.

AT STICK AND STONE FARM + THE YOUTH FARM PROJECT

This sunny September has kept the flowers, ground cherries, tomatillos and hot peppers going for now, but pick soon before cool weather sets in. Find a little pepper guide here. Herbs (especially parsley and select perennials like sage) are still harvestable too.

at the Youth Farm… coming soon, another planting of dill and cilantro.

Tip: each u-pick garden may have a slightly different assortment of flowers and hot peppers, if you’ve only been to one of the gardens this year, check out the other!
