Interview on Martha Stewart August 12th
Thursday, August 11, 2011
Friday, August 12th, I’m to be interviewed on Martha Stewart Whole Living Radio on Sirius XM 110. from 10 to 10:30 a.m. The topic will be “Abundant August” and will focus on cooking healthful dishes with summer’s harvest- specifically, corn, summer squash and blueberries. I will be discussing with the host Terri Trespicio some of the dishes from each of the three classes as well as the nutritional value of each main ingredient, why we should be eating local, and what the Natural Gourmet is about. The Caller hotline is 866-675-6675 in case anyone wants to call in for questions or comments.
Six of the featured recipes are from my public classes Crazy for Corn and Summer Squash Sensations.
Succotash with Fresh Lima Beans
The succotash we’ll be referencing features fresh lima beans from the greenmarket. If you’ve never tasted a fresh lima bean, you’re in for a great surprise.
Fresh Lima Beans
These buttery beans barely resemble the insipid frozen variety. To prepare the beans, all you have to do is take a few minutes to pop them out of their pods
Sauté these nuggets with corn, red peppers, a hot pepper or two, and a swirl of butter for a colorful and delectable dish.
Another recipe featured from Crazy for Corn is a polenta with baked eggs. The dish starts with fresh corn and corn grits that are cooked into a thick purée, then mixed with roasted poblano peppers and cheddar cheese. The mix is poured into a four quart baking dish or individual gratin dishes, and little indentations are made.
An egg is cracked into each indented spot, then placed in the oven. Twenty minutes or so later you have one delectable comfort food dish.
