AUGUST FOOD FESTIVAL: TOMATO JAM

Our 2023 calendar theme, Preservation, is an ode to the art of preserving the harvest as well as a salute to the self-preservation of body and spirit. These have been challenging years! It’s fair to say we have been pickled and fermented, but that life goes on. It is the celebratory moments and the opportunities to come together that we relish.

This month we’re celebrating with a Tomato Jam recipe brought to you by our Executive Chef of Catering Operations, Mike Deuel.

We love preserving our fresh tomatoes from Katchkie Farm using this recipe. This sweet and savory jam is a great addition to any cheese board or sandwich, used as a pizza topper or glaze for meats…truly, the possibilities are endless! We hope you love it as much as we do.

Tomato Jam Recipe

by Mike Deuel, Executive Chef of Catering Operations

Chef Mike is a huge fan of fresh, summer tomatoes – check out his recipe for a Tomato and Onion Curtido Salad on our website – but his not-so-guilty pleasure is a fresh tomato sandwich with bread, sliced ripe summer tomatoes, Hellmann’s mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. At his home garden, he and his wife have more than 100 tomato plants growing. Most are volunteers that grew on their own rather than being deliberately planted. When they come across an especially delicious tomato, they will sacrifice it for seeds to grow the next year.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 lbs cherry tomatoes
  • 1 3/4 c sugar
  • 2 limes, juiced and zested
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

PROCEDURE

  1. Combine tomatoes, sugar, zest of 1 lime, lime juice, ginger, sinnamon, cloves, salt, and red pepper flakes to a non-reactive pot.
  2. Boil and simmer uncovered for 1-2 hours, stirring till soft, sticky, and jammy.
  3. Jar and allow to cool completely before storing in a fridge or freezing.

THUNDER PICKLES

It’s fair to say we have been pickled and fermented, but that life goes on. It is the celebratory moments and the opportunities to come together that we relish.

This month, we’re celebrating with Thunder Quickles, a slight spin on Liz Neumark’s “Thunder Pickles”.

The name “Thunder Pickles” originates from a young Liz Neumark’s visit to a farm. A farmer told her that thunder made cucumbers grow! In the earlier years of The Sylvia Center, a portion of sales from Katchkie Farm’s “Thunder Pickles” went to support the organization. As a nod to our beginnings, we are excited to share this recipe recreated by TSC teen students.

PROCEDURE

Each spring I consider the proximity of the Easter and Passover holidays and the ways in which their two cultures intersect in the life of our city. Surely there are dishes that could grace both the Easter and Passover tables. This year the holidays fall from early to mid-April, when the new season’s vegetables have yet to be harvested. Yet, we are none the less hungry for a change in tone. I’m offering a trio of vegetable dishes that are a feast all their own. While they would also make delicious accompaniments to a roasted side of salmon, a chicken, or even a paschal lamb. I begin with asparagus and eggs, as I can’t imagine a spring menu without this classic pairing and harbingers of the season. The bright, bold pink of the red beet and pearl couscous salad is as pretty as any easter frock. Finally, the sweet roasted carrots offer a bridge between winter and spring and have a hint of the tzimmes that traditionally graces many a Passover dinner.

RECIPE: ROTISSERIE GEORGETTE ROASTED SWEET CARROTS

Serves 4-6

May be made a day or two ahead and reheated in the braising liquid.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb greenmarket carrots
  • 1 cup brown sugar + 1 cup water
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • 1 pinch ground coriander
  • 1 pinch espelette pepper
  • 1 Tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 pinch Fleur de Sel

Procedure

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. 
  2. Trim the greens from the top of the carrots.  Scrub, but do not peel the carrots.  This helps maintain a firm exterior as the carrots roast.
  3. In a small sauce pan, bring the water and brown sugar to a simmer to make a syrup.  Add a pinch each of freshly ground cumin, coriander, and espelette pepper.
  4. Toss the cleaned carrots in the syrup and then arrange them in a single layer on a sheet tray lined with a non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper.
  5. Roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender and lightly caramelized.
  6. Arrange roasted carrots on a warm serving platter and pour the syrup from the roasting pan over the top.  Drizzle with vinegar, olive oil, and fleur de sel. Serve hot,

RECIPE: POACHED ASPARAGUS, TARRAGON CHOPPED EGG, GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE

Serves 4-6

I can’t imagine a spring menu without asparagus or eggs, both harbingers of the season and also a classic pairing.

Three key steps to asparagus success: peeling, salting, icing. I like jumbo asparagus for their heft. Use a harp peeler to peel the outer layer from the bottom half of the stalk, which will make it tender, as opposed to stringy, and enables you to use more of the stalk. Trim off the woody very tough bottoms. Salt the poaching water generously, so that it tastes like sea water. Finally, plunging poached asparagus into ice water as soon as they are cooked, stops the cooking process immediately, preserving the vegetable’s bright green color and firmness. Once cooled, drain on cloth or paper towel. Very lightly coating the asparagus with a drop of olive oil just before serving gives them an appealing sheen.

As for the mayonnaise, I eagerly encourage you to whip up a homemade batch to avoid the sugar and emulsifiers in commercial versions. What a difference. No matter which route you choose, brighten the mayonnaise with freshly squeezed lemon juice, mustard and grain mustard.  My recipe quantities are just a starting point for making the sauce your own. The grain mustard seeds add a flavor and texture pop.

Ingredients

  • 20 pieces jumbo green asparagus, peeled, trimmed, poached (1.25 lbs approx.)
  • 1 tsp olive oil, to coat cooked asparagus
  • 2 eggs hard boiled, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh tarragon, stemmed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise, preferably home made
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Procedure

  1. Toss poached asparagus with a few drops of olive oil to coat lightly. Set aside. If preparing asparagus ahead of time, remove from refrigerator at least one hour before serving. Combine chopped hard boiled egg with lemon zest and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Combine mayonnaise with lemon juice, mustard and grain mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a more liquid version, don’t hesitate to whisk in some water and then adjust the seasoning.
  3. On a serving platter, arrange chopped egg around the asparagus. You may choose to pour some of the sauce over the asparagus and serve the remainder on the side. I’m confident your guests will want to add more.

RAMP PESTO

Our 2023 calendar theme, Preservation, is an ode to the art of preserving the harvest as well as a salute to the self-preservation of body and spirit. These have been challenging years! It’s fair to say we have been pickled and fermented, but that life goes on. It is the celebratory moments and the opportunities to come together that we relish.

This month, we’re celebrating ramps and preserving this spring treat with a ramp pesto shared by Chef Andrew Smith.

Enjoy this pesto on pasta, as a sandwich spread, on pizza, or even as a marinade for your favorite protein.

Ramp Pesto Recipe

by Andrew Smith, Culinary Director

Yield: 1/2 cup pesto

INGREDIENTS

  • 6-8 ramps
  • ¼ c EVOO
  • 1 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt

PROCEDURE

  1. Separate ramp leaves from the bulbs. Slice the bulbs in rings and set aside. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Bring a pot of water to a hard boil and blanch the ramp tops for one minute, then shock in prepared ice water for 1 minute. This helps preserve the color of the ramps. Remove and drain, wringing out any excess water.
  2. In a food processor, place ramp leaves and bulbs, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Blend together, gradually drizzling in olive oil till it becomes a paste. Be careful not to overprocess as you want it to remain a bit chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
