The fourth crop of fava bean shoots is starting to look pathetic. I think I will plant some pea shoots again next. Will throw these into Vietnamese watercress soup tonight.

The last of the fava shoots ended up being used in Chinese olive vegetable fried rice instead.

Hey @lemurcat2 - this is my fav winter squash recipe/ I forgot where I got this from a long time ago..😇
🍁 Autumn Stuffed Squash. I use left over greens, cheese, sausage, apple... You can change it up and vary quite a bit! I like a mix of sweet and savory- so gruyere has a nice flavor with the apple and meat..
I also sometimes use leftover stuffing in this recipe!
2 squash, cut in half through the stem and seeded
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for rubbing the squash and oiling the dish
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces chorizo or sweet sausage, crumbled or cut into small pieces
1 cup chopped leeks (1 small leek) or scallions
1 cup chopped apple (1 to 2 apples)
Freshly ground pepper
2 cups sliced tender greens (spinach, tatsoi, kale, Swiss chard), cut into ribbons
4 fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped
2 cups cooked millet, rice, cauli rice or quinoa
1/2 cup grated Cheddar or gruyere cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Rub the flesh of each squash half with olive oil, and oil an ovenproof dish or baking sheet. Sprinkle the whole baking dish with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Lay the squash flesh side down in the dish and bake until it is very tender when pricked with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the squash from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 425°F.
2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and fry until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the leeks/scallions to the hot oil and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the apple, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute. Add the greens, sage, cooked grains, and reserved chorizo. Cook for another minute, stirring to combine, and remove from heat. Taste, and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
3. Turn the cooked squash over in the baking dish so it is flesh side up. (Be careful, as steam will escape when you turn it.) Scoop the filling into the cavity of each squash half, piling it into a mountain so that it holds as much as possible. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.

Thanks! Looks yum.1

I'm not vegan - been trying being vegetarian-ish for a while - but got a new vegan
cookbook which yielded this ugly but delicious dish of mushrooms baked in an Ethiopian inspired blend. Broth, tomato paste, garlic ginger, cloves, cardamom, cayenne, paprika, curry powder, thyme and a very little oil. It was amazing if not very photogenic.
I also made a dressing from the book which has garlic, fresh chives and parsley, lemon and nutritional yeast. I put it over a "what needs eating salad" which had hearts of palm and fennel and stuff.
Continuing the "eat what's getting low" theme I did a stir fry with lotus root, cauliflower, carrot and spinach with a little brown rice and an egg and a slightly heavy handed pour of what was left of the sambal oelek.

Please share the recipe for the mushrooms.

It all looks delicious! I’m a fan of onion and any veggies except a few I will have to try and make to see if my tastes have changed. Fruit of any type I enjoy. I’ve been on a blueberry kick lately blended in a protein shake.3

On thursday night i used the method recommended by @Ig013 for making hollandaise for dipping steamed artichokes into. Don't believe the conventional wisdom that you can't re-heat hollandaise sauce. Add a teaspoon or two of water on top and microwave on the lowest setting for a minute. Stir in the water. Leftover hollandaise was great on roast potatoes.4

I'm the same way, there's only a few things I don't like though other people love them, like avocados, coconut, celery, and beets. I recently got beets in my Imperfect produce box so I'll be trying them again! I have a blueberry weakness, especially frozen ones eaten with a spoon.0 -
I'm not really sure mushrooms are "produce" even though they are in the produce section of the store. They seem like so much more than that. They aren't plants. They aren't animals, either, but they are more closely related to animals than to plants. They are such an awesome kingdom, making associations with plants for mutual benefit. The largest organism known on Earth is a mushroom in Oregon -- it's 2,385 acres (965 hectares). And my they are beautiful, and some are tasty. Produce or not, I love 'em.
I Went stomping around the forest today in search of chanterelles and boletes. I found a few chanterelles — fewer than I expected considering how I beat the brush. It’s a popular spot and was probably picked over pretty good over the weekend. I did eventually find a few patches once I started wandering into the shiggy that other folks didn't want to bushwhack through.
I also found a couple boletes, but not kings or queens. They were Boletus fibrillosus. Arora says, “edible and fairly good, but certainly not the equal of B. Edulis or B. aeries.” Mine are full of maggots. I might not cook them.
I also found winter chanterelles— too early for them really. I also found a white Hedgehog mushroom. Also too early. I saw lots of cats tongue. They are cute and edible, but not much to them.
I found LOTS of lobster mushrooms. I will cook some and give some away. What a pain to clean, but tasty! There were so many lobstr mushrooms... I found some right away, and they are HEAVY. I decided when I was at a trail junction to just go ahead and hike back to the truck and drop off the lobsters so I didn't have to bounce them around in my bucket, and so I didn't have to tote them. They really are dense. About half will be waste; they are notoriously dirty, rotten, and full of maggots.
It was good to be in the forest. It was quiet aside from the wind and the creaking of the trees. I saw two guys on bikes and that was it. There was one vehicle at the place I park; the cyclists had parked about a mile down from there. On my way out, a truck with three more mountain bikers was on the way up. Otherwise... had the forest to myself. Very nice. Would have been nice to see more boletes.

I made this last night -- used some spicy sausage, an apple, and onion, mushroom, red pepper, chard, plus a little parmigiano-reggiano, ingredients based on what I had on hand and needed to use up. Delicious! Thanks for the idea, I'll have to try out some other combinations too.1 -
Quick pickles for tonight's glass noodle salad.

I had squash tonight, too, but the tail end of last year's frozen Georgia Candy Roaster, and with some sweet white miso mixed in. (Love it that way.)
Rest of dinner: Big salad with mixed greens, radishes, hakurei turnips, sugar snap peas, mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes, dressed with some white wine vinegar and herb salt; Ezekial tortilla with mustard, mozzarella, smoked tofu, raw sauerkraut; guavas and pawpaw for dessert.3
