Vegan Gumbo

Produce Box Vegetables: Okra, Mushrooms, Black Eyed Peas, Add: Diced Sweet Potatoes or Red Potatoes, Wilted Cowpea Greens

“This vegan gumbo recipe is hearty, savory, filling and warming. With a mix of beans, mushrooms and okra, this vegetarian gumbo is cheap to make and full of flavour. Starting with a dark, rich roux, key herbs and spices, and a secret umami ingredient, it’s hard to believe that this vegan gumbo doesn’t have any meat in it!”

See the Recipe: Cilantro and Citronella


Butternut Squash Corn Chowder

Produce Box Vegetables: Corn, Butternut Squash, Tomatoes

This classic butternut squash soup is blended with sweet corn until smooth and is topped with a fresh, bright salsa for texture and crunch.

These supercrispy and addictive tempura green beans are great for snacking. Plus, Old Bay Seasoning in the batter is an unexpected twist! Squeeze fresh lemon and dip into creamy mayo for an easy appetizer. Tempura whole shishito peppers in addition to the green beans!
