RECIPE OF THE WEEK

VEGAN SHEET PAN THANKSGIVING DINNER

Ingredients:

  • For the Stuffing:
  • ▢2 ribs celery, chopped
  • ▢½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • ▢2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • ▢¼ cup vegetable broth
  • ▢¼ cup vegan heavy cream, (such as oat cream, cashew cream, soy cream, or full-fat coconut milk)
  • ▢2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
  • ▢½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • ▢½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • ▢½ teaspoon salt
  • ▢¼ teaspoon powdered sage
  • ▢¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ▢8.5 oz sourdough, (gluten-free bread if preferred), cut into 1 inch cubes
  • For the Turkey-Seasoned Tofu:
  • ▢¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ▢2 tablespoons olive oil, melted
  • ▢2 tablespoons soy sauce, (gluten-free if preferred)
  • ▢1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ▢1 block (350g/ 12.3oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and torn into chunks (see step 1)
  • For the Potatoes and Carrots:
  • ▢12 oz baby potatoes, halved and larger ones quartered
  • ▢2 large carrots, (9.7oz/ 275g) peeled and sliced
  • ▢1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ▢2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • ▢1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ▢¼ teaspoon salt
  • ▢⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Green Beans:
  • ▢9 oz green beans, ends trimmed
  • ▢2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • ▢1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ▢1 pinch of each salt and pepper

Instructions:

  • To press the tofu: Prepare the tofu by draining it, and then pressing it for 15 to 30 minutes. I love using my Tofuture tofu press, but you can also follow these instructions for a DIY tofu pressing method. Pressing the tofu squeezes excess water out so that the tofu can suck up more of the marinade and become more flavourful. 
  • Preheat Your Oven: to 400℉ (200℃). Lightly grease a large baking sheet that is at minimum 11″ x 17″ in size (or two smaller baking sheets, if preferred).
  • For the Stuffing: In a large bowl mix all of the stuffing ingredients except for the bread. Mix to combine. Then lastly add the bread cubes and gently toss to coat the bread cubes in the mixture. Set aside for 10 – 15 minutes to absorb the flavors while you prepare the tofu and vegetables.
  • For the tofu: Once pressed, in a medium bowl, add all of the tofu ingredients except for the tofu. Mix to combine. Then tear the block of tofu into bite-sized pieces. (Tearing the tofu gives texture much more similar to turkey, and the rough texture grips the sauce better). Add the tofu bites to the bowl with the seasonings, and gently fold it using a spatula to coat. Set aside.
  • For the potatoes and carrots: to a medium bowl add the potatoes, carrots, and all of the seasonings. Toss to evenly coat.
  • Arrange the sheet pan and Bake: take your sheet pan, and on ¼ of the pan, place all of the stuffing, using a spatula to pack it into a rectangle shape. Just above the stuffing, add the tofu so that it takes another ¼ of the sheet pan. Spread the carrots and potatoes across the remaining ½ of the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • For the Green Beans: While the sheet pan is baking, prepare the green beans. Add them to the same bowl the potatoes and carrots were in. Add the garlic, oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat in the remaining spices from the potatoes and carrots.
  • Finish Baking: After the sheet pan has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from the oven. Use a spatula to push the carrots and potatoes so they take up ¼ of the sheet pan. In the remaining ¼ of the sheet pan, add the green beans. Return to the oven and cook for another 15 – 20 minutes until the green beans are tender, the potatoes and carrots are tender all the way through when pierced with a fork, and the stuffing is lightly browned. Note that the tofu will be tender and juicy fresh out of the oven, and will get tougher and chewier as it cools (I enjoy both textures)! Serve as is or with your favorite sauce such as mushroom gravy or cranberry sauce.

Notes:

Make Ahead: Morning of, or a few hours before, prepare everything in advance, so that when it’s time for dinner, you can simply place all the items on the sheet pan and pop it into the oven following the baking directions. 

Gluten-free: for gluten-free, use a gluten-free bread, and substitute the soy sauce for a gluten-free soy sauce such as tamari.

Oil-free: for oil-free, use a good non-stick pan or line it with parchment paper. For the stuffing substitute the vegan butter for 2 extra tablespoons of vegan culinary cream. For the tofu, substitute the oil for 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or aquafaba. For the potatoes, carrots, and green beans, substitute the oil for vegetable broth or aquafaba.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Strawberry-Rhubarb Cornmeal Skillet Cake

INGREDIENTS

Rosemary Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

3 (5-inch) rosemary sprigs

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Strawberry-Rhubarb Cake

1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/4 ounces), sifted

½ cup fine yellow cornmeal (about 2 7/8 ounces)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (6 1/2 ouncse), at room temperature, divided

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1 ½ ounce goat cheese (about 3 tablespoon), at room temperature

⅓ cup buttermilk, at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

1 cup halved fresh strawberries

¾ cup diagonally sliced fresh rhubarb (1/2-inch pieces) (from about 3 ounce rhubarb stalks)

2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Make the rosemary whipped cream
  2. Combine heavy cream and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl. Rub rosemary sprigs between hands to release their oils, and add to bowl; stir mixture until combined. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours. Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large bowl; discard solids. Beat cream mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar; beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 45 seconds. Cover rosemary whipped cream with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use, up to 12 hours.
  3. Make the strawberry-rhubarb cake
  4. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in oven, and preheat oven to 350°F. Let skillet preheat about 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk together flour, cornmeal, and salt in a small bowl until combined; set aside. Place 3/4 cup butter in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl, until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating on high speed and stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl, until mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. With mixer running on low speed, crumble in goat cheese; beat until just combined, about 30 seconds. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined, about 1 minute. Add buttermilk and vanilla bean paste, beating until just combined, about 1 minute.
  6. Carefully remove hot skillet from oven, and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Swirl skillet until butter is melted. Carefully pour in cake batter; smooth top if needed. Arrange strawberries and rhubarb in an even layer on batter; sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool slightly on a wire rack, about 15 minutes. Serve cake warm with a dollop of rosemary whipped cream.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Strawberry Shortcake

INGREDIENTS

  • 6–7 cups quartered strawberries
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons (75g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 and 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for hands and work surface*
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt (I recommend fine sea salt)
  • 3/4 cup (180g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk*
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream or buttermilk
  • coarse sugar, for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Start with the strawberries: Stir the strawberries and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar together in a large bowl. Cover and set in the refrigerator until ready to use. This time allows the strawberries to release their delicious juices.
  2. Make the biscuits: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl or in a large food processor. Whisk or pulse until combined. Add the cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or by pulsing several times in the processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. If you used a food processor, pour the mixture into a large bowl.
  3. Pour buttermilk on top. Fold everything together with a large spoon or rubber spatula until it begins to come together. Do not overwork the dough. The dough will be shaggy and crumbly with some wet spots. Pour the dough and any dough crumbles onto a floured work surface and gently bring together with generously floured hands. Have extra flour nearby and use it often to flour your hands and work surface in this step. Using floured hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle as best you can. Fold one side into the center, then the other side. Turn the dough horizontally. Gently flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle again. Repeat the folding again. Turn the dough horizontally one more time. Gently flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Repeat the folding one last time. Flatten into the final 3/4 inch thick rectangle.
  4. Cut into 2.75 or 3-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. (Tip: Do not twist the biscuit cutter when pressing down into the dough.) Re-roll/flatten any scraps and cut more circles until you have around 10-12 biscuits.
  5. Arrange in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (see note) or close together on a parchment paper or silicone baking mat lined baking sheet. Make sure the biscuits are touching.
  6. Brush the tops with 2 Tablespoons heavy cream or buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven, then cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before assembling.
  7. Make the whipped cream: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until soft-medium peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  8. Slice the biscuits in half and layer with strawberries and whipped cream. Serve immediately.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Vegetarian Chili with Winter Vegetables

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 (14-oz cans) pinto beans
  • 2tablespoons grapeseed, sunflower or canola oil
  • 1onion, finely chopped
  • 1large or 2 medium carrots, cut in small dice
  • 1red pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2large garlic cloves, minced
  • 3tablespoons mild ground chili (or use hot, or use more)
  • 1tablespoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
  • 128-ounce can chopped tomatoes
  • 1teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
  • 2tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 1 cup water
  • 2cups diced winter squash (about ¾ pound)
  • Salt to taste
  • ½cup chopped cilantro
  • Grated cheddar or Monterey Jack, or crumbled queso fresco for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat the beans on top of the stove in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy nonstick skillet and add the onion, carrot and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, stir together until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the ground chili and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture begins to stick to the pan. Add the tomatoes and oregano, and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is beginning to stick to the pan, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste dissolved in water and bring back to a simmer. Season with salt to taste and simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes, until the mixture is thick and fragrant.
  2. Stir the tomato mixture into the beans. Add the winter squash and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, for 30 to 45 minutes. It is important to stir often so that the chili doesn’t settle and stick to the bottom of the pot. It should be thick; if you desire you can thin out with water. Taste and adjust salt.
  3. Shortly before serving stir in the cilantro and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls. If you wish, top with grated cheddar, Monterey jack, or crumbled queso fresco.

Tip: Advance preparation: The simmered beans can be made 3 or 4 days ahead and the chili will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. You will probably want to thin it out with water is it will continue to thicken. It freezes well.

Hurricane Ian Impacts! 

Well, the weather conditions for Saturday do not look so great (but thankfully, nowhere near what passed through Florida or South Carolina).  We’re thinking of those who were (or will be) in Ian’s path. 

Meanwhile, the Market plans to be open Saturday, but will have a VERY limited vendor set-up.  So, if you can, dodge some raindrops and come show support for those vendors that are able to be there to serve you, rain or shine.  AFAC will not be collecting from the market this Saturday. Westover will be operating Sunday in case you miss tomorrow’s vendors.

We will have: Twin Springs, Hog Haven, Great Valley and Kuhn’s Orchard at the market today!

Pease follow our social media, FacebookTwitter, or Instagram, or check our website, for last-minute updates; vendor and patron safety is always paramount!  For now, we plan to be at Barrett Elementary School, on Saturday, October 1, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pick-up!  We’ll see you at the Market!! 

WE HAVE SWAG!!!

End of Season Art to Give Thanks!

Saturday is the last market day of 2021!  And to mark the end of the farmers market season and the beginning of the holidays, we have the Arlington Art Truck on hand with a perfect project as we approach Thanksgiving week!  Arlington printmaker Justyne Fischer selected five prominent women educators and activists of varying backgrounds that reflect Arlington’s diversity — Hazel Mahler, Dorothy Hamm, Dr. Evelyn Reid Syphax, Dr. Phoebe Hall Knipling, and Dr. Emma Violand-Sánchez — to create postcards.  Use the postcards to write a note to a teacher, mentor, parent, student or community member, or anyone to whom you want to express gratitude this season! 

And while we’re talking gratitude, thank you to our wonderful vendors, market managers, market committee members, our fantastic market volunteers, and, of course, our fabulous patrons, for a great and successful market season! Swing by Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, November 20, between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pick-up!  We’ll see you at the Market!

Lubber Run may be ending for the season, but you can still get your favorites at the Westover Farmers Market on Sunday mornings. in front of the Westover Library at 1644 N. McKinley Road in Arlington, from 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Only Two Market Days Left!

We’re fast coming up to the end of the Lubber Run market season, with only two market days left in 2021.  But, don’t fret, we’ll be back in April 2022 and, in the meantime, those wishing to continue enjoyment of seasonal local fruits, vegetables, and other produced foods are encouraged to shop at the Westover Farmers Market.  That year-round market on Sunday mornings is located in front of the Westover Library at 1644 N. McKinley Road in Arlington.  Its hours December through April are 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.  Many Lubber Run vendors also sell at Westover either part or all of the winter season, so you can still find your favorites:
