This week’s contents looks diminutive compared to other weeks, but it’s just more dense:
- Celeriac
- Cheddar Cauliflower
- Italian Eggplant
- Japanese Black Trifele Tomatoes
- Jicama
- Robins Koginut Squash
- Shallots
- Shishito Peppers
Celeriac is a root vegetable that tastes kind of like a potato that tastes like celery smells. I save the peels for stock and usually make mashed potatoes+celeriac.
Jicama is a crunchy root vegetable that tastes kind of like if apple : asian pear :: potato : jicama. I usually eat it raw in salads but here’s a recipe for baked jicama fries. You could probably do celeriac fries too!
Robin’s Koginut squash is a delicious hybrid squash. Cooks like butternut squash. Dan Barber, one of the inventors of it, is featured in Season 1 Episode 2 of Chef’s Table on Netflix if you’re interested.
