Ingredients
·       1 1/2 lbs potatoes , chopped
·       1 lb yam
·       2 large garlic, minced
·       1 tsp garlic powder
·       1 tsp salt
·       1/4 cup butter
·       4 to 6 tbsp almond milk , unsweetened
For the filled
·       2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
·       2 medium leeks
·       6 garlic cloves , minced
·       16-ounces mushrooms , sliced
·       1 1-pound bag frozen mixed vegetables, (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
·       2 tbsp potato starch
·       3/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
·       1/4 cup dry red wine
·       1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes , (optional)
·       1 1/2 tsp sea salt
·       2 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves , chopped
·       2 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
·       1 can (14-ounce) lentils
1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Lightly oil a 3- or 4-quart (3 or 4 L) casserole dis
2. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover by a couple of inches. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and butter. Mash until smooth, adding almond milk as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency. Set aside.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, make the filling In an extra-large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks, garlic, and a couple of pinches of salt. Stir to combine and sauté until the leeks are softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Add the mushrooms, stir, and increase the heat to medium-high. Sauté until much of the liquid released by the mushrooms has cooked off, 10 to 13 minutes. (This is important, as it ensures the filling won’t be too watery.)
5. Add the bag of frozen vegetables (no need to thaw beforehand) and sauté for a few minutes, until heated through. Stir in the potato starch until combined.
6. Add the broth and wine and stir to combine. Simmer the mixture over medium to high heat until it thickens slightly. Add the red pepper flakes (if using), salt, rosemary, thyme, and lentils. Sauté for a couple of minutes longer.
7. Spoon the filling into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenl
8. Using a spoon (and a lightly oiled hand, if necessary), spread the potatoes out over the filling in an even layer. Sprinkle several dashes of paprika and some thyme leaves all over the top of the mashed potatoes.
9. Bake for about 25 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and broil for 4 to 7 minutes, until bubbling around the edges. Watch closely to avoid burning.

​Yay!  The baby goats arrived safe and sound last weekend.  So pleased to introduce you to Luca (pictured above) and Lola:)  It's fun to watch Lizzie (their mom) who was born here 2 years ago step into her role as mama.  She is attentive, careful and providing wonderful nutrition to her young kids.  Feels like spring indeed.

Seeding time

I was reminded once again this past week of the power of seeds as I read, “The Seed Keeper,” by Diane Wilson.  The way seeds tell stories of what and who came before us.  The way seeds lie and wait and then awaken when the time is right.

It’s seeding time for us.  Time to wake up our seeds.  To believe that there is life and that plants will grow and a harvest will come.  

Do you have any stories about seeds?  Do you remember someone in your family that saved seeds?

The Seeds Speak

"We are hungry, but the sleep is upon us. 
We are thirsty, but the Mother has instructed us not to wake too early.
We are restless, chafing against this thin membrane,
pushing back against the dark that bids us to lie still,
suspended in a near-death that is not dying.  

We hold time in this space, we hold a thread to infinity that reaches to the stars....."

Spiked Pear Hot Chocolate

2/3/2022

Picture
3 1/2 oz good quality chocolate bar
​70% cocoa

1 T cocao powder
1 tsp corn starch
4 cardamon pods, cracked
2 cups milk
2 oz pear liqueur
pinch of salt


Instructions
Break up the chocolate and place it in a small bowl along with the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Heat milk with the cardamom pods in a small saucepan until just about boiling. Remove the pan from heat and strain into a small pitcher, removing the cardamom pods. Set the pan aside. You will use it again shortly. Pour about two tablespoons of the hot milk into the bowl of chocolate, and mix to make a paste. Continue adding small quantities of hot milk until the chocolate mixture is mostly homogeneous. Now put all the chocolate and the milk together in the original milk pan, and heat up until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat and cook for about 2 minutes, until the chocolate begins to thicken. At this point, use your judgement to thicken the chocolate to your desired thickness, understanding that the chocolate will get even thicker as it cools.
Add a ½ ounce of pear liqueur to a one-cup heatproof glass or cup, then add the hot chocolate. Sneak a holiday cookie, or serve with some slices of pear, for dunking.
Makes 2 one-cup portions with a bit extra for top-up.
