    Happy New Year, CSA Members! It’s the first week of the 2024 Winter Season, and we’re so happy you’re here with us. Get ready for cool season veggies like peas, onions, broccoli, turnips, radishes, sugarcane, and lots of greens. It’s a highly generative season here where we reside, and for that we are grateful!

    This week, you’ll find citrus in your share that are small, orange and thin skinned. They are calamondins, also often called calamansi. Some describe them like a sour tangerine. The skin is so thin and tender that it’s edible and has a sweet flavor. The flesh and juice inside is sour, reminiscent of a lime or lemon. Taken together, it’s a pleasing mouthful of sweet and sour that will make your lips pucker and smile. You’ll find them used most often in marmalade, desserts, juiced in beverages, or enhancing dishes with that sweet/sour acidity. This citrus has a very short shelf life, so you won’t hardly find them in stores. Get to enjoying them sooner than later! Here are three recipes for using them three very different ways: in pie, as a drink, and with fish.

    THIS WEEK’S RECIPES

     

    Calamondin Refresher

    Ingredients

    • 4 Calamondin
    • 1 cup of club soda, seltzer water or water
    • 3 tablespoons of sugar
    • 2 cups of ice cubes

    Instructions

    1. Slice 1 calamondin, remove seeds, and set aside.
    2. Cut 3 calamondin in half, remove seeds, and squeeze the juice in to a tall glass.
    3. Add sugar and club soda to calamondin juice and stir until sugar dissolves.
    4. Add ice cubes and garnish with slices of calamondin.
    5. Serve & enjoy!
    Snapper with Calamondins and Brown Butter
    Ingredients
    1. 2 snapper (or other mild white fish) fillets
    2. 1/2 stick butter
    For the Spice Blend
    1. 1/4 teaspoon cumin
    2. 1/4 teaspoon oregano
    3. 1/4 teaspoon paprika
    4. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    5. 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
    For the Calamondin Relish
    1. 1/2 cup seeded, diced calamondins*
    2. 3 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil, divided
    3. 2 cloves garlic
    4. handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
    5. 1/4 teaspoon salt
    Instructions
    1. Pat the snapper dry with paper towels.
    2. Combine the spices in a small dish and sprinkle over both sides of the snapper fillets.
    3. Heat the butter in a light-colored skillet over medium. Allow the butter to melt and begin to foam. Keep a close eye on it as the milk solids begin to brown. Give it a stir occasionally, and once it achieves a general medium-brown color, pour it into a small bowl.
    4. Wipe out the skillet and return it to the heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Saute the diced calamondins and their juices until the peels become very soft. Add the garlic and stir for one minute. Stir in parsley and salt. Transfer to a small dish.
    5. Wipe out the pan once again, and add two tablespoons of oil. Saute the fish for a couple minutes on each side, or until the tip of a knife slips through the thickest part easily.
    6. Transfer the fish to a serving plate. Top with calamondin relish and drizzle with brown butter.
    Notes
    1. *Slice calamondins in half horizontally. Most of the seeds should be visible. Pop them out with the tip of a paring knife. Dice the fruit, including the peel, and be sure to reserve all the juice on the cutting board.

    Restorative Ginger and Turmeric Noodle Soup

    Ingredients

    Ginger and Turmeric Curry Paste

    • 4 medium garlic cloves, roughly chopped
    • 5 medium shallots, roughly sliced
    • 1 (3-inch) piece fresh galangal ginger, peeled and roughly sliced (about 1 1/4 ounces)
    • 3 serrano chiles, stems removed, roughly sliced
    • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
    • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
    • 1/4 cup good-quality coconut oil

    Garlic Oil

    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1 large garlic clove, very thinly sliced

    Soup

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 4 cups vegetable stock (such as Swanson)
    • 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
    • 10 ounces uncooked udon noodles
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more for boiling noodles
    • 1 (5-ounce) bunch of cruciferous greens like bok choy, kale or collards, stems removed, roughly chopped
    • 2 scallions, finely chopped
    • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
    • 1 lime, quartered, for serving
    Instructions

    Make the ginger and turmeric curry paste

    1. Combine garlic, shallots, ginger, chiles, lime juice, cumin, turmeric, and coriander in a blender or food processor, and pulse until ingredients are finely chopped. Add coconut oil and pulse until ingredients form a smooth paste. (Keep any unused paste in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 7 days, or freeze in an airtight container.)

    Make the garlic oil

    1. Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add the garlic slices and cook until sizzling, 30 to 40 seconds. As soon as you see any sign of browning, remove from heat immediately, as the garlic will continue to cook and turn completely golden in the hot oil.

    Make the soup

    1. Heat a deep, high-sided skillet over medium-high and drizzle with olive oil. Add 1/2 cup ginger-turmeric curry paste. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vegetable stock and coconut milk. Let simmer 6 to 8 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add noodles. Cook according to package directions for al dente. As soon as the noodles are al dente, drain and rinse under cold running water. Divide noodles evenly among 4 serving bowls.

    3. Season broth with salt. Turn off heat and stir in chard. To serve, ladle broth mixture over the noodles. Top with scallions and cilantro; drizzle with garlic oil. Serve with lime wedges.

    • kosher salt and pepper
    • 4 to 6 cups baby arugula greens

    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 tablespoons maple syrup
    • kosher salt and pepper
    • ½ cup olive oil
    Instructions
    1. Rinse the farro well. Bring the orange juice and water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a big pinch of salt and pepper. Once boiling, stir in the rinsed farro. Reduce the mixture to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until the farro is chewy and tender. Drain the farro and place it in a large bowl.
    2. Add the arugula to the farro. Drizzle in a few tablespoons of the dressing, just to coat the farro and arugula. Top with the oranges, pistachios, radish slices and feta. Toss well. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
    WINTER VINAIGRETTE
    1. Whisk together the vinegar, juice, garlic, maple syrup and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. This will make more dressing than needed and you can store it in the fridge in a sealed container for about a week.

    3. Spread the tomatoes across the baking dish and broil for about 15 minutes until the skins are nicely charred on top and the fruits have started to collapse. (If using smaller fruits, keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn to a crisp.)

    5. Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, and garlic to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
    6. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, then stir in the onion, cilantro, cumin, and lime juice. If desired, add salt to taste.

    Dandelion Green Bruschetta

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
    • ½ teaspoon sugar
    • Pinch of salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    • 4 strips bacon
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 slices toasted sourdough bread
    • 1 clove garlic
    • ½ pound dandelion leaves, washed and dried
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    Instructions

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
    2. Mix the vinegar with the sugar and salt until those dissolve. Set aside.
    3. Lay the bacon flat in a cast iron skillet or heavy pan and place in the hot oven. Roast the bacon until it is crisp (about 10 minutes), turning once.
    4. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, then dunk in cold water and peel. Chop them roughly—the yolks should be barely set.
    5. While the bacon and eggs are cooking, toast the bread. As soon as it is toasted rub both sides with the raw clove of garlic, cut each slice in half and set aside on a plate.
    6. As soon as the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat. Immediately toss the dandelion leaves into the fat in the very-hot pan and stir. Add the vinegar mixture at once and toss again, adding the olive oil last. Pile the wilted leaves onto the toasted bread, break the bacon into pieces, and scatter on top of the dandelions. Finally add the egg. If there are any pan juices left, drizzle these over the top of your bruschetta. Serve at once.
