Winter extravaganza: help!

[Sarah]

I signed up for a wonderful winter CSA at Drumlin Farm in Lincoln MA
and am happy but trying to figure out what to make with the following,
in any combo. I have a lot of side veggie type recipes but am having a
hard time figuring out main course type dishes. We've done some soups,
roasted vegs, etc. Any ideas??

Thanks!

-cabbage
-squash: hubbard, butternut, acorn, pumpkin
-turnip
-radishes (black and watermelon)
-potatoes
-celeriac
-rutabegas

Some kind of squash risotto or pasta would be tasty. And cabbage is
good in stir fry (radishes and turnips might be good in there too).

Good luck!

What a great winter-time assortment of veggies!

I'll second risotto as a delicious way to use winter squash. Leftover
risotto makes great patties, baked or pan-fried. The patties freeze
well, too.

One of our Thanksgiving staples is a wild rice blend cooked with
veggie broth, butternut squash, onion, celery, dried cranberries,
pecans, sage and parsley.

Winter squash filled ravioli - you can cheat and use wonton wrappers
instead of making and rolling your own pasta dough. I like to serve
pumpkin ravioli with broth on a bed of sauteed greens.

Try baked acorn squash stuffed with rice pilaf, or sub another grain
of your choice.

My garden produced an abundance of pumpkins and butternut squash, so
I've been adding cooked squash to various stews, soups, and chilis. It
really adds depth to black bean soup.

For the other veggies, how about stuffed cabbage leaves? Chowder with
potatoes, celeriac, and rutabegas. A gratin of potatoes and celeriac.
Shepherd's pie.

This isn't a main dish, but we love slaw made with red cabbage, red
onion, and apples - tossed with plum vinegar and toasted black sesame
seeds. You may want to lightly braise the cabbage first.

I'm eager to hear what you end up doing with your CSA share. Enjoy!

You can use celeriac and potatoes in the same dish. Peel the celeriac
and boil and make mashed potatoes.
