Hi everyone!

I hope you are enjoying the winter CSA so far. We have another beautiful & colorful box for you this week with the ingredients to make a delicious Squash au Vin (https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/squash-au-vin), which is basically just a vegetarian Coq au Vin, chicken braised in red wine. I suggest using the sugar dumpling squash and adding some parsnips and golden beets as well.

Also just a reminder, if you forget to pick up your box on your pick up date you can pick it up in the cold room anytime.

Best,

Anastasia

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 4 oz. crimini mushrooms, quartered

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 large shallots, halved through root ends, peeled

  • 6 garlic cloves, 5 thinly sliced, 1 finely chopped

  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

  • 1¼ cups dry white wine

  • ¾ cup whole farro, barley, or freekeh

  • 3 Tbsp. red or white miso

  • 1 small kabocha squash (about 3 lb.), halved, seeds removed, cut into 2"-thick wedges

  • 1 medium delicata squash (about 12 oz.), halved, seeds removed, cut into 2"-thick wedges

  • 1 cup parsley leaves with tender stems

  • Zest of 1⁄2 lemon

Preparation

  1. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6–8 minutes. Season with salt; transfer to a plate. Let pot cool 2 minutes.

  2. Set pot over medium heat and pour in remaining 3 Tbsp. oil. Cook onion and shallots, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, 6–8 minutes. Add sliced garlic and butter; cook, stirring often, until garlic is softened and starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add wine; simmer, stirring once, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add farro, miso, and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve miso. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring once or twice, until farro is halfway cooked, about 20 minutes.

  3. Taste broth and season with salt. Add squash (submerge the best you can), cover, and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  4. Ladle stew into bowls; top with parsley, lemon zest, and chopped garlic.
