Seasonal produce is more flavorful, nutritious, and fresher than foods that are consumed out of season. Additionally, using vegetables and fruits that are in season reduces the need for transportation over great distances, which benefits the environment and helps local businesses and farmers. Thankfully, nature continues to produce mouthwatering produce throughout the winter. While some winter fruits and oils may be recognizable to you.
Beetroot: Beets can be easily prepared by peeling, cubing, and tossing them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting them in the oven until they are fork-tender. Beets taste great either on their own or in a garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Broccoli: Broccoli can be prepared in a variety of ways, such as a straightforward sauté, stir-fry, or oven-roasted and grilled florets. One of the famous ways to prepare broccoli is to lightly cook it until it is all done and then top it with roasted red pepper pesto. Frozen Taro - Start by trimming off the frozen taro's outermost portions and peeling it to reveal the white flesh. This can be consumed raw, boiled, and mashed, or chopped into oven-roasted "fries." The latter, thinly sliced and dressed with mustard vinaigrette, is my favorite.
Brunswick Sardines Olive Oil can be eaten straight from the can as a pocket snack or prepared easily for toast and sandwiches. Sardines are a great choice if you choose to have the recommended two fish meals per week.
Cauliflower: In the
colder months, you can cook some cauliflower in foil with some garlic, extra
virgin olive oil, and salt. It's a straightforward side dish that melts in your
mouth and may also be used in place of whipped potatoes by being mashed.
Carrots: Carrots can be used in both savory and sweet cuisines. For instance,
slice or shred them and add them to stews, vegetable chili, and garden salads.
Alternatively, add cinnamon and juicy pineapple to the entire carrots in the
oven, and finally roast. Additionally, you can make a batch of carrot muffins,
oatmeal cookies, or cake.
