  • Asparagus with Garlic Scapes
    Asparagus w/Garlic Scapes This dish is simple, easy, and delicious! Don’t be afraid of the horseradish; you can leave it out but we suggest you give it a shot. Horseradish root and garlic scapes are available in early June only, and young garlic is available soon after. The asparagus will be gone mid-June, so grab it while you can! If you miss the local asparagus window, you can always go with the imported kind from the grocery store, but really... the local tastes the BEST. To mellow the garlic, this recipe calls for salting it. Alternately, lightly sauté the scapes or garlic instead. A little heat will also mellow the horseradish root. INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS 1 head young garlic (with a few inches of stem) or 2 garlic scapes 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and washed 2 teaspoons freshly grated horseradish root 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 fresh lemon Salt Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Trim the root end of the garlic; if it has a stem, cut it 4 inches from the bulb. Slice the bulb and stem in half, lengthwise. Remove any tough outer skin. Lay each half cut-side-down and slice as thinly as possible (if using garlic scapes, also slice as thinly as possible). Gather up the garlic in a bowl, season with coarse salt and work the salt into the sliced garlic using your fingers. If you don’t like the idea of your fingers smelling of garlic, grab some rubber gloves. Let the garlic sit for at least 10 minutes.

  • Growing Wasabi in the Pacific Northwest
    PNW0605 Growing Wasabi in the Pacific Northwest Carol Miles and Catherine Chadwick A Pacific Northwest Extension Publication Washington State University • Oregon State University • University of Idaho INTRODUCTION Wasabi (Wasabia japonica [Miq.] Matsum) is a perennial plant that is a member of the Cruciferaceae or Brassicaceae family (commonly called the mustard family) and native to Japan. Grown for its unique, enlarged stem (sometimes described as a rhizome or root), which is 2 to 4 inches in diameter and 6 to 12 inches long, wasabi has a hot, pungent flavor (Figure 1). Although this flavor is similar to horseradish Armoricia( rusticana), another perennial Brassica, it has a subtle difference in that it quickly dissipates in the mouth, leaving a lingering sweet taste with no burning sensation (Chadwick et al., 1993). Figure 1. A hand- harvested mature wasabi plant (a) and market-ready stem after trimming and cleaning (b) (photos by C. Miles and C. Chadwick, respectively). a b Because of its specific growing requirements, wasabi is an expensive product, and therefore often substituted with the more easily obtained horseradish. Many markets recognize “real” or “genuine” wasabi as superior and distinct from mislabeled “fake” wasabi that is a mix of American or western horseradish, mustard, soy sauce, and green food coloring (Conjecture Corporation, n.d.; Ransom, n.d.). When grated, wasabi forms a thick green paste and is commonly served with sushi, sashimi, and noodles. Its leaves and petioles also can be pickled or dried. Small or imperfect wasabi stems are dried and made into a powder used in foods such as crackers or as a This publication is part of the Farming the Northwest series processed condiment paste packaged in squeezable to avoid disease spread and rejuvenate a wasabi crop tubes (Chadwick, 1990).

Wojska Polskiego 31, 60-624 Poznań, Poland; [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract Japanese horseradish [ Wasabia japonica (Miq.) Matsumara or Eutrema wasabi (Siebold) Maxim.], is a vegetable species originated from Japan. Currently, wasabi is grown in many other countries across the world such as: New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea, Israel, Brazil, Thailand, Columbia, Canada, USA, Great Britain and China. The crop has never been cultivated commercially in Poland. The main aim of the present study was to find out if the crop can be grown commercially in Poland and to establish the chemical contents of roots produced in Poland and Japan. In previous studies, it was noted that wasabi might be grown under polycarbonate cover in Poland. The chemical evaluation included measuring the amount of dry matter, polyphenols, antioxidant potential, reducing substances, total proteins, starch and raw fiber.
