Ingredient: Vegetables


Creamy Spring Soup with Potatoes, Asparagus and Fiddleheads

Fresh fiddleheads, asparagus, potatoes, garlic… what could be better? Using the asparagus stems to make the stock base for this soup adds a complexity of flavor that makes this one of my favorite recipes of the year. The addition of marscapone cheese, cream and butter helps too! Serve this with a crusty bread and you have a great main course.


Burgers with Grilled Fennel and Mixed Veggie Salad

Simple grilled burgers accompanied by grilled fennel, and a salad of local spring veggies. Sarah had artichoke hearts on-hand and those are an optional not-so-local ingredient. This is a salad you too can make your own way depending on what you have on-hand! Post includes the process of blanching explained.
