Loam Collaboration: Wasabina Salad with Sunflower Brittle

March 31, 2017 By Courtney West Leave a Comment

As I mentioned in the previous post I’ve been working with Loam Agronomics to develop recipes with their gorgeous veggies to inspire their CSA members in the kitchen. This humble yet delicious salad relies on the subtle horseradish-y bite of wasabina mustard greens and the sweet/salty/smoky sunflower seed brittle to elevate it past “just another kale salad”. Head on over to the Loam site for the recipe and if you are in the Houston area, consider signing up for their CSA. You won’t be disappointed 😉

Loam Collaboration: Spring Falafel with Cilantro Tahini Cream

March 29, 2017 By Courtney West Leave a Comment

I’ve had the immense pleasure the past few weeks of developing recipes for Loam Agronomics and their CSA members! Yesterday they went live on the Loam site and I eagerly hurried over to check them out (even though I knew exactly what the photos and recipes looked like, but still!). The goal with these recipes is to get people curious about seasonal produce and eager to start cooking with it. Each one is heavily focused on what I get in my CSA shares in addition to being gluten free and vegan. Also, I’m aiming to keep hard-to-find ingredients out of the mix so that the recipes are more approachable. The first recipe I developed for them is a spring falafel with cilantro tahini cream featuring the beautiful carrots, kale, and cilantro I received in my share that week. Head here to check out the recipe and stay tuned for more to come this week 🙂
