Summer Vegetable Cassoulet

August 26, 2021 By Betsy Price

 

Plate of food with cassoulet vegetable stewThis recipe for Summer Vegetable Cassoulet comes from Bon Appetit, and it’s the perfect combo for using fresh seasonal vegetables and Clay Coyote pottery! The cassoulet is a staple of French country cuisine. It’s a hearty stew of sausage, confit, pork, and beans that is slowly simmered for hours to produce a smooth and decadent dish. This recipe is a lighter seasonal version that highlights loads of vegetables with a crispy crumbly Gruyere topping. Try it in the Clay Coyote Dutch Oven or the Clay Coyote Cassole with Cassoulet Bowls for serving.

Ingredients:

1 lb. globe or Japanese eggplants, peeled and cut into 2″ pieces

1 tsp. fennel seeds

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 tsp. salt, plus more

Freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. haricots verts or green beans, trimmed

2 oil packed anchovy fillets

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3/4 cup dry white wine

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 15 oz. can butter or corona beans

2 cups coarsely chopped parsley

1/3 cup coarsely chopped marjoram or oregano

1 Tbsp. thyme leaves

6 oz. Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated

 

Preparation:

Step 1

Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 425°. Toss eggplant, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, 6 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a 3-qt. or 13×9″ baking dish; season with black pepper. Roast on bottom rack, tossing halfway through, until golden and tender, 25–30 minutes. Let cool.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add haricots verts, season with salt, and cook, tossing every minute or so, until they start to release moisture and steam, about 5 minutes. Add anchovies, garlic, wine, and tomato paste and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to break up paste, 1 minute. Add ¾ cup water, cover pot, and cook until haricots verts are crisp-tender, 5–7 minutes.

Step 3

Add cherry tomatoes and butter beans, re-cover pot, and cook until tomatoes start to burst, 5–7 minutes. Remove pot from heat, uncover, and stir in parsley, marjoram, and thyme.

Step 4

While the beans and tomatoes are cooking, spread Gruyère out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake on top rack until melted and almost done bubbling and golden, 8–10 minutes (check often). Let cool.

Step 5

Using a slotted spoon, scoop tomato and bean mixture over and around eggplant in baking dish, arranging so everything is nestled together but eggplant isn’t completely covered. Pour liquid left in pot over. Remove crispy Gruyère from parchment and crumble on top of cassoulet.

Part 4 of 4: A Day in the Life of a Mini Savory Pie

May 21, 2021 By Betsy Price

~By Molly in the Gallery

The last (and let’s be honest, the best) part of the Mini Savory Pie series is dessert. I made a mixed berry pie using blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries and it was so simple and delicious.

To start, I measured out four cups of berries. I like to use frozen berries because they’re extra juicy once they are thawed. It’s also easier! Then I added 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

I mixed this around until everything was evenly coated, poured it into the mini savory pie, spread a pie crust over the top, added a little flair, and baked at 375 for 45 minutes.

 

Next time, I would mix everything directly in the mini savory to save washing an extra dish. And I’ve learned through using it multiple times now that it has a larger capacity than I expect.

This dessert was perfect for the start of summer, and takes minimal effort if you’re craving sweets but don’t have all day to bake.

After testing out the mini savory for four different types of recipes, this may just be my new favorite dish! From breakfast bakes, to the grill, to savory and sweet pies, this little workhorse is versatile and easy to use.

Part 2 of 4: A Day in the Life of a Mini Savory Pie

May 7, 2021 By Betsy Price

~By Molly in the Gallery

As the weather (slowly) warms up here in Minnesota, we’ve started planning out our gardens and pulling out our grills. I’ve come to the conclusion that everything is better when it’s been grilled. Some of my favorite oddball grilled foods are romaine lettuce, peaches, and now gnocchi. This week, I decided to try grilling with my mini savory pie dish!

Chicken & Pesto Gnocchi

I wanted to experiment with adding that classic grill flavor to a pasta, and found that potato gnocchi is a great candidate. This grilled chicken and gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and pesto is fresh but filling. I added the gnocchi and tomatoes to my mini savory dish and tossed in some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Because the mini savory is made with flameware, it’s great for grilling a side dish!

 

Chicken & Pesto Gnocchi

Once the grill was at about 450*, the gnocchi went on, with the charcoal pushed over to one side so it was off the direct heat. This made room for the seasoned chicken to go next to it which cooked best directly over the coals. In total, the gnocchi and tomatoes were grilled for about 30 minutes. While it was cooking, I whipped up a fantastic pesto using this recipe. Once everything was finished, I tossed the tomatoes and gnocchi in the pesto and topped it with the grilled chicken.

Chicken & Pesto GnocchiThis is definitely a recipe I would make again. The pesto was bright and along with the tomatoes created a nice contrast to the deep grill flavor from the rest of the dish. The mini savory was the perfect size for our grill, allowing space for the meat to cook alongside it. It also held onto all the yummy juice from the tomatoes that burst while grilling.

If you’re looking for a great breakfast option in the mini savory, check out my first post in the mini savory series here, and be sure to check back for my post on a great dinner and dessert in the weeks to follow.

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month

September 6, 2017 By Kylie Lawson

Childhood obesity is a growing problem in the United States. To bring awareness to this issue, September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. The percentage of children that are obese has been rapidly on the rise. In the 70’s, less than 5% of children in America were obese, that number has since tripled. One in five kids are considered overweight or obese in 2017.

Some of causes of childhood obesity include the decline in recess and physical education classes in schools, unhealthy eating habits such as overeating at home because school lunches have been cut back, lack of exercise due to staying indoors watching television, playing video games, or going online, but also medical reasons like genetics and metabolism. Childhood obesity is a big issue because it can affect children in harmful ways. They can develop chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, bone and joint problems, and sleep apnea. Children can develop mental disorders such as depression and anxiety from low self esteem and bullying.

To help do our own unique part of reducing childhood obesity, we have provided some healthy recipes below that you can make in your clay cookware that your children will be sure to love.

MASHED POTATO SOUP
This is a great recipe to reuse leftover mashed potatoes, and a different way for your children to eat their vegetables. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a clay saucepan, and add some onion, garlic, corn, broccoli and any other veggies desired. Put in cold leftover mashed potatoes. Add 1% milk to get creamy consistency of choice and hot through. Total time is approximately 20 minutes. Add a little cheese, ham, bacon, chives, etc. to top before serving. The soup will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

HIDDEN VEGGIE MAC AND CHEESE
What kid doesn’t love mac and cheese? This recipe is not only delicious, but nutritious as well because we add veggies into the mix! Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Boil your favorite pasta, drain, and set aside. Next, put 1 tablespoon of butter into a cazuela and melt over medium heat. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of flour into butter and lightly brown. Add 1 ½ cups 1% milk and warm slowly. Once milk is warm, add 2 cups of shredded or diced cheese of your choice. Just a note, it’s easier to use melty, smooth cheeses rather than hard ones. Have fun with cheeses! Let the cheese melt slowly in the warm milk. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to become a fully melted cheese sauce. Add veggies such as broccoli, peas, asparagus, brussel sprouts, carrots, etc. into the cazuela along with the pasta. Mix all together until all the ingredients are coated in the cheese sauce. Top with panko breadcrumbs and put cazuela in the oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly brown and bubbling.

CHICKEN TACOS
This healthy recipe is sure to make your children want more. Warm wheat tortillas in a foil pouch in the oven. While those are warming, grill two large chicken breasts on the grill basket. Cover in your favorite seasonings before grilling. Grill breasts for approximately 20 minutes. Take chicken out of basket when finished and slice on a cutting board. Put chicken into tortillas and top with shredded cheese, lettuce, and other desired toppings. Using wheat tortillas and all white meat chicken are a healthy alternatives to flour or corn tortillas and beef that will produce lots of grease.

GRILLED SHRIMP STIR FRY
In your Clay Coyote Grill Basket, toss cut up bell peppers (the more colors the better), mushrooms, onions, and snap or sugar peas, drizzle with a little oil of your choice (olive, coconut, Pam spray). Put on grill for 10 minutes over medium heat. Move the veggies to the side and then put in raw, peeled shrimp. Let cook for 3-4 minutes, then stir up all the veggies and shrimp, cook for 3-4 more minutes until shrimp are cooked all the way through. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce or soy sauce and serve hot over rice.

We hope you and your family enjoy making these recipes in your clay cookware, knowing full well that you are providing your family with a healthy and nutritious meal. Don’t own clay cookware?
