Anyway, here's a list of what we got at Saturday's market: purple kale, lacinato kale, mixed greens, purple top turnips, radishes, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries (let's keep those comin'), collard greens, mustard greens, and hydroponic tomatoes.
It wasn't a ton this time, but that's ok. Not every week can overtop my box! And can I say I think I have a problem? I'm addicted. Yup, addicted to kale and broccoli. And there was no green curly kale or broccoli in this week's box....I almost panicked. But I was able to buy a few bags of their purple kale and I got broccoli and green curly kale at the grocery store. Phew.
I made tacos again this week, using what I had in the fridge, so here's the recipe:
Millet Tacos:
4 corn tortillas
1/2-3/4 cup cooked millet
3/4 cup cooked kidney beans, mashed up
1/2 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 yellow/white onion, chopped
2 tsp dried cilantro (or use fresh if you have it!)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
3/4 cup pureed/crushed tomatoes
chili powder
onion powder
chipotle powder
garlic
salt
Saute the onion in 1/4 cup water until soft. Add the carrots and broccoli. Saute another 5 minutes or so, adding water as needed so it doesn't stick to the pan. Add the millet and mashed beans. Mix it up well and add 1 tsp of the cilantro, and the rest of the spices to taste. It's done when it's heated through.
For the sauce: Mix together 3/4 cup pureed/crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp cilantro, salt and chipotle powder to taste. Heat the tortillas, fill them, and top with the sauce. Easy!

re. burgers: sounds good. I usually choose adzuki beans over kidneys, though. I find many people have difficulty digesting kidneys. Do you have a recipe, or are you going to wing it?
ReplyDeleteI've only done black beans and chickpea burgers before. I just wondered what kidney bean burgers would be like, since I have some I cooked recently. I wonder why people have more problems with kidney beans than other beans...hmm....well I'll have to research that one..thanks for sharing! (I was just going to wing it, no recipe)
