Farm Fresh Recipes — herbs

This is a true Ottawa Farm Fresh recipe, inspired when Jolianne found a plethora of cooked tempeh in the fridge. Jolianne loves making a big batch of tempeh and then adds it to salads, and it pairs really well with cucumber.

Ragout is just a fancy word for stew, so don't be intimidated! This hearty winter stew filled with chickpeas and mushrooms will warm you from head to toe, and is just as delicious served on a bed of rice, as creamy polenta, or comforting mashed potato. You could even top it with a poached egg and serve with crusty bread for dipping.

This recipe from Sarah Britton (Naturally Nourished) features Dukkah, an Egyptian herb, nut and spice mix, to amp this refreshing blend of cukes, avocado and herbs! Try it with whatever fresh herbs you have on hand.

This is a centrepiece kind of dish - ideal to serve at your next family dinner or potluck. It might take a bit of preparation, but it's sure to be worth it!
