...of my all-time favorites: Veggie Hash with Poached Egg and
Salsa Verde. Sounds fancy but is simple and delicious and uses pretty common pantry items. You can use almost any vegetable in the hash and this time of year my favorites include celery root, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and various winter squashes. So adapt to your taste and the season. And you can simplify the
salsa verde by skipping the capers and egg. The bright, lemony
salsa verde does balance out......

Simple, delicious and beautiful on a hot day, any day, really. You can use other summer squash in place of the zucchini. I began making this dish for my family when I was in high school and it's remained a standby.

...this time of year, the hard, grainy quince and the unwieldy, weighty winter squash can be prepared and enjoyed with ease. And in the case of the latter it can be sliced and baked and enjoyed with nothing more than salt and maybe a little olive oil or maybe some

...and Sisters of the Road! Happy Thanksgiving! Winter Squash with Parsley Sauce Warm, sweet, roasted squash with a cool, lemony parsley sauce is an easy and beautiful dish.

Parsley root is a variety of parsley grown for its large tap root. The leaves are very flavorful, sometimes even more so than regular parsley so use them just the way you would parsley. The root may look like a parsnip but tastes more like a carrot crossed with celery root and is not as sweet as a parsnip. It is delicious roasted, in a hash or in soups and stews and really anywhere you would use other root vegetables.
Use the leaves in the Italian parsley sauce Salsa Verde or in this Green Sauce with other herbs.

[caption id="attachment_15530" align="alignleft" width="240"] The common French sorrel on the left and the pretty, but tougher and slightly bitter red-veined sorrel, on the right.[/caption]
Sorrel is a tender, leafy perennial herb/green with a distinct tart and lemony flavor. It is one of the easiest things to grow. It multiplies rapidly and is very hardy. There is also a red veined variety that is beautiful, with slightly firmer leaves, that can be used interchangeably. It's one of the first greens to pop up in late winter and is a welcome bright flavor that time of year. I grew up picking it in the wild in Germany so my mother could add it liberally to green salads.
The French puree it into soups and cook it gently into a sauce. It loses its bright green color when cooked and mellows out a bit. I like adding it raw to an Italian Salsa Verde or adding it to salads or soups or sauces.
