These beans have such a uniquely umami, earthy flavor that feels so comforting and nourishing. We’ve got pints for you to have on hand when you need a quick mineral-rich beans + rice meal.
Adzuki beans, or red mung beans, are small and red and have a slightly nutty and sweet flavor. They’re a staple of the macrobiotic diet because they’re fortifying and the most nutrient dense of all the beans, with high amounts of magnesium, potassium, folate and many other micronutrients and antioxidants. Cooking the beans with kombu enhances their taste while adding even more bioavailable minerals (sea vegetables are one of the best sources of iodine, an essential nutrient for thyroid and brain health that’s hard to get enough of in the modern diet). With the addition of local dandelion greens from Faithfull Farms,this dish is simple nourishment at its best. Enjoy these beans with anything on this week’s menu. Make a veg bowl with some halved meatballs stirred in, or simply serve with some homemade rice and a drizzle of sunshine sauce. Reheat gently in a pot on the stovetop and enjoy.

The stars of this dish are the soft, pillowy chunks of perfectly cured and roasted local Garnet sweet potatoes from Happy Dirt. We’ll layer these beauties with roasted chickpeas and fresh local herbs from Red’s Quality Acre in a tart and bright tahini sauce featuring pomegranate molasses and a touch of lemon. The textures are outrageously satisfying here; plus, the sesame and nigella seeds really make it pop. The tahini sauce will be on the bottom, so you can reheat the dish in a saucepan then pour over the sauce to serve. Or simply serve cold! This dish pairs well with everything this week, so don’t miss out.

This cauliflower was something special – grab a pint, defrost and enjoy!
We’ll roast organic cauliflower from Happy Dirt in olive oil and a housemade blend of crushed dried chili peppers, dried lime zest and pink sea salt before tossing with fresh local cilantroand toasted pumpkin seeds. There’s so much amazing texture, flavor and earthy goodness in this dish, with citrusy tang and just the right amount of heat and depth from the peppers. Get your veg in for the week in the most exciting way. For a paleo/keto plate, serve this up with the barbacoa or make a vegan rice bowl with this in the starring role. It’s also nice to serve up cold over some greens for lunch with a fried egg. Yum. Reheat gently in a saucepan.

Get some of this gold in your freezer. Defrost and use to brighten up any lunch or dinner.
The name says it all. Sunflower seeds that have soaked up sunbeams in a field somewhere will be lightly toasted and whizzed up to become creamy seed butter. Then with a twist of lime, ginger, coconut milk and a touch of heat from chili flakes you have…sunshine sauce! It’s punchy, smooth and full of flavor. And sunseeds are packed with nutrition – fiber, antioxidants, Vit E, and critical micronutrients, such as selenium, zinc, and manganese that support heart and brain health. Drizzle it over any of this week’s dishes. You can also use it as a salad dressing or to dress up a plain roasted veg or grain bowl. Let this sunny little number brighten your day.
