1/2 cup sesame seeds 1 cup sunflower seeds 2 cups peeled, grated beets 2 cups grated carrots (feel free to mix in other root veggies too) 1/2 minced onion 2 eggs lightly beaten 1 cup cooked brown rice 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese 1/2 vegetable oil 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley 3 tbsp flour 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 clove garlic minced 1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne
PREPARATION - from Farmer John’s Cookbook Preheat oven to 350. LIghtly coat a baking sheet with butter or oil. Place a small heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and stir them on the dry skillet just until lightly browned and fragrant, 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning them. Immediately remove from heat and transfer the toasted seeds to a dish to cool. Return the skillet to the heat. Add the sunflower seeds and stir them on the dry skillet just until lightly browned and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Transfer them to the dish with the sesame seeds. Combine the beets, carrots, and onion in a large bowl. Stir in the toasted sunflower and sesame seeds, eggs, rice cheese, oil, flour, parsley, soy sauce and garlic. Add cayenne and mix until thoroughly combined. Using your hands shape the mixture into 12 patties and arrange them in rows on the baking sheet. Bake the patties until brown around the edges, about 30-40 minutes. Unless they are very large and thick it shouldn’t be necessary to turn them.

Veggie Spotlight: Starry Night Acorn Squash
|
|
|
Starry Night stands out from classic green Acorn Squash with their unique, pixelated color pattern, smooth texture, superior sweet, nutty flavor and long shelf life (acorn squash in January?!). They are delicious in any recipe calling for winter squash, just halve and roast or peel and dice. Acorn squash a good source of fiber and potassium among other vitamins. This fall, Chaw of Stick and Stone farm wrote a letter of thanks to our CSA members and an ode to the Starry Night Acorn and how special it is that we get to grow and share such unique produce thanks to the CSA |
