The Legume Family KNOW YOUR 1 of 4 LEGUMES The legume family (plants that produce their seeds in a pod and sometimes have the ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil) is big and badass, and includes beans, peas, and lentils. These foods have been on our plates for thousands of years as one of the first cultivated crops, domesticated around 7,000 years ago according to By Roxanne Webber Photographs by Chris Rochelle the Northarvest Bean Growers Association. They’re low in fat, cholesterol-free, cheap, and a good source of protein (Images not actual size) and fiber, and there is a huge variety to choose from. Here’s a snapshot of what’s out there; some of these legumes are common, others less so. For the hard-to-find beans, we went to Steve Sando, founder of Rancho Gordo bean company in Napa, California.

  • Soups Page 1 of 31
    Soups Trevor: Hello everyone this is Trevor Justice with the Vegetarian Health Institute. Tonight’s topic is Savory Soups. And our guest expert is Lenore Baum who is the author of Sublime Soups and Lenore’s Natural Cuisine. How you doing, Lenore? Lenore: I’m great, how are you Trevor? Trevor: Pretty good. In fact I’m starting to get hungry reading these soup recipes again. Lenore: Good. Trevor: I’m wondering if you want to kind of summarize the key points from the written lesson for people that haven’t read it yet before we go into the new student questions. Lenore: Okay. I’ll just kind of skim over it to allow time for questions and if there aren’t questions enough, I will go back and do more details. Basically, soups are my passion because it’s really my favorite food. It’s warming and nourishing and wholesome and in these economic times, very expensive. And we eat it for breakfast here in Asheville, North Carolina. And I eat it for breakfast in Phoenix, Arizona and Michigan, it’s just anywhere you live you can eat it for breakfast and have a small bowl for lunch, or a big bowl, or have it for dinner. And it’s a great travel food. You can easily put it in a thermos. And it’s extremely forgiving. Basically any ingredient in the soup recipe that you don’t like, you leave out and it should come out as long as there’s some kind of a little bit of fat in, a little bit of salt, and then the basic ingredient like beans.

  • Clam Recipes
    Clams Processing and Clam Recipes Washington’s ocean beaches and Puget Sound shore lands contain many varieties of clams. There are many different species but littlenecks (including Manilas and native littlenecks), butter clams, razor clams, and geoduck are choice food species. The cockle, Eastern softshell, and horse clam have a fine flavor but the meat can be tough unless ground or chopped, and is usually used in chowder. Horse clam meat can also be pounded and lightly fried for delicious fritters and the siphons make a delicious ceviche. Razor clams are only found on the outer coast of Washington State as they require a high energy sandy beach to survive. How to purge littlenecks: Purging clams involves soaking “steamer clams” (Manilas and native littlenecks) in cold seawater to allow them to clear their tissues of sand and grit. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to add cornmeal unless you enjoy the taste of cornmeal in the stomachs of your cooked clams. We do not recommend purging any clams except littlenecks. To prepare littlenecks or “steamers” for cooking, first scrub the clams under running water to remove any attached sand. (Test clams again at this point to make sure you have no “mudders”, or shells full of sand. These sneaky chowder-ruining imposters are often heavier than live clams, and will generally break open if the two halves are squeezed in a twisting, sliding motion between thumb and fingers.) Place the rinsed clams in a bucket of clean sea water and allow them to stand for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight.
