Martin’s Trifecta Part II
I drool just writing the ingredients. Nice job.
“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.” Mark Twain
Mirepoix: yellow onion, red pepper, carrot, garlic, celery. Ham, roasted butternut squash, potato, coconut flakes, cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper.
As you may have noticed, there’s been a lot of ham soups recently. That’s what happens when we are donated two giant slabs of it. Fun to see how each soup maker added their own twists.
“If we had some eggs, we could have eggs and ham. If we had some ham.” Groucho Marx
Mirepoix: yellow and red onion, celery, rainbow carrot, green bell pepper. NY steak, crimini shroom, butternut squash, beet horseradish, paprika, potato starch
Martin often finds a fun key ingredient. Today it was beets marinated in horseradish. Added a unique twist.
“Breathe properly, stay curious, and always eat your beets“. Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume
Sauteed onion and celery, butternut squash roasted with oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, turkey, apples, milk, butter, curry powder, balsamic vinegar.
A jewel of the autumn: butternut squash. Michele completely killed on this one.
“Besides, they always smell of bread and butternut.” Lord Byron almost said this.
Mirepoix: red onion, carrot, celery. Pork, hominy, mushroom, butternut squash, spring onion, tomato, salsa verde, more onion, paprika, oregano, red wine vinegar, fresh rosemary, cumin, corn starch.
Super chunky soup made by Martin. Available were these bags of salsa verde with pork bits, so in it went.
“A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.” Abraham Maslow
Mirepoix: shallot, yellow onion, celery, carrot. Ground turkey, roasted brussels sprout, carrot, poblano chile, red bell pepper, Peter Pan squash, fresh garlic, baby arugula, chive, fresh basil, paprika, lime juice.
Had a vigorous vegetable flavor, enhanced by those Belgian sprouts roasted by Martin. Treacherously good.
Onion, carrot, celery, ground turkey, potato, broccoli, squash, garlic butter
A subtle and intestine-warming offering by my Tuesday partner Michele.
“My sense of humor is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality”. Tracy Morgan
Standard mirepoix. Halibut, tomato, green bell pepper, yellow squash, black olive, garlic scape, worcestershire sauce, honey, sugar, balsamic vinegar, basil, parsley, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove
Halibut, the Lexus of fish–luxurious yet costly. Just one of the jewels that our donors sometimes send us.
Mirepoix: red onion, celery, carrot, fresh parsley. Flank steak, top round steak, roasted yellow squash, butternut squash, red green and orange bell peppers, peanut butter, cauliflower, chopped almonds, chives, worcestershire sauce, clove, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, garlic, honey
“While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to a man.” Maya Angelou
Mirepoix: yellow onion, green bell pepper. Nasty canned pork, asparagus, shiitake mushroom, butternut squash, sweet soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, sugar, lime sauce, basil, red pepper flakes.
Had never used “sweet” soy sauce, so in it went. Overall a mildly Asian flavor.
I swear, that canned pork is gross. But it was the only protein available, so had to strive to offset the inherent evilness of the vile cur. I gave my best Herculean effort. It ended up pretty good.
