Happy Meatless Monday friends! In honor of one of my favorite veggies, the mighty kohlrabi, here’s my latest recipe for Loam Agronomics. It doesn’t require any cooking and the ingredient list is fairly short. While developing the recipe I had flashbacks of one of my grandmothers having me meticulously cut up cabbage for cole slaw while she fixed the rest of her southern inspired lunches. To be honest, I never really liked that type of slaw, but it got me curious about being in the kitchen and exploring the world of cooking. Head here to get the recipe for this kohlrabi slaw with sweet chili peanut dressing and enjoy the start of your week!
Loam Collaboration: Polenta Steaks with Cilantro Pecan Pesto & Steamed Baby Beets
You know how sometimes it takes a bit of pushing the boundaries and limits a bit in order to grow? That’s how I feel about this little collaboration with Loam Agronomics. Not only am I making veggie-centric recipes for them (instead of baked goods and sweets that fall within my comfort zone), but I’m aiming to keep these recipes on the simpler side without any hard-to-find ingredients. Also, not to brag, but they have all been really damn delicious.
So here’s the recipe I developed from 2 shares ago with probably the most delicious and beautiful beets I’ve ever eaten. Beets are trickier because they are naturally really sweet and earthy so they need a nice contrast. That’s where the pesto comes in made with cilantro, toasted pecans, and fresh lemon juice. Seriously wishing I had some to eat right about now… Head over to the Loam site to get the recipe and maybe even sign up for one of their beautiful CSA shares 😉
In case you fell in love with that plate like I did, it’s from Thro Ceramics located in the heart of East Texas.
