Farm share, week 18

[magid]

• two pounds of white potatoes (red or yellow skin)
  
• two pounds of sweet potatoes
  
• one pound of smallish yellow onions (I chose the largest I could find; some were as small as large cloves of garlic)
  
• four stalks of broccoli
  
• two small heads of cauliflower (yay cauliflower!)
  
• two bunches of beets with greens
  
• four leeks
  
• eight small eggplants
  
• two pounds of spinach
  
• four green peppers
  
• two medium heads of green cabbage
  
• take-what-you-want hot peppers (I didn't take many, having a bunch from previous weeks to get through)

First thoughts: no carrots! I have the chance to catch up! Sweet potato-leek-apple soup, possibly with some carrots. Roasted cabbage. Potato-leek knishes*. Roasted cauliflower. Roasted peppers + eggplant. Baba ganoush. Sauteed greens (spinach & beet) with sweet potatoes and berbere seasoning, plus alliums and some kind of sausage (vegan more likely).


* OMG the first recipe that Google queued up said one can sub bacon grease for schmaltz, and includes cheese & sour cream as well. So very very treif, which is Just Wrong for knishes.

I’ve seen lots of recipes treifing it up on dishes I consider traditional. I mean, de gustibus, but it’s still annoying.

The post included a lot about how this is a Traditional Jewish Food TM, so the recipe was especially galling. Overall, yeah, if you want to riff on a traditional kosher dish, at least point out that you're doing it, maybe with info about what it would have been/why you chose this....

And thank you!

That's really wrong of them; that is obviously not how one suggests substitutions for a culturally significant dish. Someone ought to scold them. I have written a lot of recipe substitutions and I am cranky, so I volunteer if you want me to. Rar!

I'm happy to leave this at the Someone Is Wrong on the Internet level, and let it go, but I appreciate the offer.
