Ingredient: Grains and Dried Legumes


Winter Squash Ravioli With Browned Sage Butter

There’s nothing quite as good as the combo of browned butter and sage against butternut squash (other winter squashes also work here). Flour, eggs, olive oil, salt, and time (lots of it) and you’ve got yourself a pasta dough with which to house your winter squash goodness! Top with the simple combo of sage in browned butter. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese take these over the top. Cream, shallots and/or onion are optional to take this taste sensation to the next level.


Pierogi

Jess’ first go at her aunt’s pierogi recipe, she plans to try again, but this recounts the attempt. With flour, an apparently optional egg, sour cream and water, you can make a delicious dough to surround whatever ingredients your imagination runs wild with. If you’re keeping it more traditional, there’s a sauerkraut filling listed in this recipe.


Potato Pancakes with Bacon and Chives

These were quite yummy. Parmesan and Sharp Cheddar were the cheeses used to bring these flavorful pancakes to life. The bacon and chives also added boatloads of flavor.
