\"delicata<\/p>\n

This balsamic delicata squash and kale mixture is what to eat now. Are you ready for kale? It’s been a gorgeous long summer of tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers and whatever else, but now I feel it. The chill is in the air, the flannel shirts are out of their long sleep, it’s time. It just is.<\/p>\n

Of course, as I say this, I’m sauteing some peppers to go in burritos tonight. That’s shoulder season for you. Sometimes that’s the best of both worlds. What’s great about this delicata squash and kale is its delicious as a side dish or on grilled toast rubbed with garlic. Toss it with pasta. This week, I’m going the crostini route.<\/p>\n

The folks at Melissa’s Produce<\/a> sent over a grab bag of produce, including some gorgeous heirloom figs and shallots. It was a little like having my own Chopped basket, and off I went on some new recipes.<\/p>\n

I used a procedure I’ve long used on collard greens, minus the bacon. Saute freshly washed greens in oil, add the pepper flakes (this time I used gochugaru), the vinegar and season them well. No reason you can’t add bacon, I just didn’t. It’s totally delicious on it’s own. I used red Russian kale since it’s what the guys at Steelwheel Farm had at our last farmers market, but it works great with lacinato\/dino kale and\/or a mix of both.<\/p>\n

The figs add a gorgeous sweetness, get ’em if you can.<\/p>\n\t\r\n\t
