A recent recipe from the New York Times and a great idea for your Thanksgiving dinner.

Kale with Honeyed Pecans

This simple recipe originated with the folks at Whole Foods.

Goat Cheese, Radish and Kale Spread

This easy spread, created by event planner and caterer Lisa Rochon, won an honorable mention at Peachtree Road Farmers Market’s 2010 “Market Mash-Up” vendor recipe contest. Her mash-up involved using goat cheese, garlic, herbs, kale and radishes from different farmers at the market. The recipe works as a dip, a simple appetizer or first course served with sliced bread or as the base for a fabulous sandwich.

Kale-Chicken-Rice-Blueberry Salad

A nice take on kale salad. Adapted from a recipe in Saveur magazine.

Notes on Greens

Greens storage: All of the sturdy greens (chard, bok choy, cabbage, kale) should be stored the same way. Put them into a plastic bag and leave it unsealed. Put into your vegetable crisper.

Garlicky Greens with Andouille and Onion

From Cook’s Country magazine. Use your kale and mustard greens for this one from this week’s box – but it works with any greens you like.

Southern Pickled Kale

Pine Street Market entered this dish in the 2012 Market Mashup at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. It’s sort of fun that it doesn’t include any of their own ingredients.

Kale Tabouli

For years I was a tabbouleh purist. I grew up with a Syrian mom, we ate tabouli every week. And it was four ingredients – chopped parsley, chopped tomatoes, sliced green onions and softened bulgur – dressed with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice. That was it.

But, I’ve come to appreciate tabouli as a way to enjoy all kinds of greens. And when faced with a huge mound of beautiful greens as in this week’s box, I’m glad to have a way to reduce some of that volume in a delicious way.

This recipe is adapted from one on the Food52 blog. No parsley? No cucumber? Don’t let that stop you. They used quinoa – I’d still just make it with softened bulgur (cracked wheat). Bulgur requires no cooking – much friendlier in the kitchen on these steamy days.

Spicy Greens

This recipe from a chef demo at the Sunday morning Clarkston Farmers Market is a great way to use up any number of greens. You could make this with your kale, chard, daikon radish greens …. even the bok choy or napa cabbage.
